Anyone know the part number or how to get a couple of these "Powered by Ford" Emblems? Saw this on the new Shelby Mustang GT. Is this a Shelby exclusive? (I wouldn't think so, since it doesn't say Shelby...just Ford.) Thanks, RickM 2005 #2032

The comment earlier about the latch design changing mid-production is correct. My late 2005 had problems with just the passenger door (not able to open) when temps were greater than 90+ degrees (always had to open the door using the outside electrical latch). While at the Rally I was able to...

According to the Registry, Rocksman's VIN was #1013. So the Vin's appear to match. And the story about the pothole seems to fit (albeit much exaggerated). I assume they added stripes during the re-construct. RickM

Looks like Rocksman's GT is back on the market w/a Salvage Title: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2006-Ford-gt-Tungsten-RARE-COLOR_W0QQitemZ260130214189QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item260130214189 Ebay price at 125k and still not at reserve. According to the Seller: "I purchased this car at an...

I bought a full set of Goodyear OEMs from tirerack.com earlier this Spring. I had them mounted on a second set of rims (std vs. optional rims). After doing some searching, I was able to find a couple places in town with a Hunter roadforce balancer, but the local Ford dealer offered a similar...

The wife & I might be up for this! There are 7 GT's here in the Boise area...but only 3 belong to the forum. I bet 1 or two of them might be interested also. Doesn't sound like the GT's can enter the show ('78 and older only). But it still sounds like a nice roadtrip. :cheers RickM 05-#2032

I bought one of the MGW plugs back in January (Satin & Black). I too cut off the existing cap using an exacto knife. I streched the rubber tether enough to get the cut as close to the tether ring as possible. When it snapped back, there was no residual part of the strap/tether showing. I then...

I have dealer ebay pics of all those, except 345 & 375. (fyi - 298 is Lemansz and 375 is Raddox) None show the same problem...but that doesn't mean the dealer didn't catch the problem upon delivery, and have it fixed before posting the pics on ebay. Interesting.... Thanks, Rick M.

I noticed this when going through some of the archives I've saved from various ebay auctions. I have a picture of 06#414 (Blue) from the original ebay auction that shows it missing the first part of the vinyl side stripes (just behind the front wheels). #414 was at the August rally, and my...

Also the posting on ebay (which I assume is legit) says the cars location is Flint, MI. Where-as the racingjunk scam artist is saying Lakeland, FL. RickM.

This car (2006 #414) was at the rally last August. It was sitting right next to the TT in the Saleen parking lot. I assume the original owner is a member of this forum...

Greg, You have 1704 listed in the GT registry. The picture was taken during our tour of the Wixom facility in August (during the GT Convention). :thumbsup It's been interesting watching some of the last cars that were in the plant being built while we were there eventually show up at the...

Greg, Here is your car (#1704) in the finished goods inventory at Wixom waiting to be shipped (8/12/06). It's the white/blue under plastic. Enjoy. RickM

Fast Freddy, Here is a pic of your car #1649 (Black/Silver) sitting at Wixom in the finished goods inventory. Magnification of the tag on the back window confirms #1649. Photo taken during the GT Rally. I have a 1.5M version...Due to post limitations, this is only a 92k file. Thanks, RickM

Does anyone know what's included in this Kit? Does it contain the 6 outer bolts? And does it contain parts for 1 halfshaft or 2 halfshafts (both sides)? Thanks, RickM
