    duPont Registry Astronomical Prices?

    In August issue of the duPont Registry there are 3 GT's listed for sale: On page 76, an '06 Red @1060 miles for $166,940 ie. origional MSRP offered by our forum sponsor FordGTForSale.com. Since no longer listed on the Forum, I assume it has sold. But--the other two you are not going to believe...

    GT at Spa Francorchamps 2007 video- what exhaust system is this car using??

    Yes, I am the happy driver of the Stainless Works system--straight with only small cats. Impossible to fire the gal without a big grin, and the sound while driving is beyond description. I have loved it from day one. It looks as great as it sounds; it saves a ton of weight; and the Shadowman has...

    Ford Motor Company auctioning off 2005 FGT #7 this weekend in pebble

    Have no idea how many GT's Ford still retains. But I met with an exec of Ford Racing this past week-end at the race in Michigan. He was driving a 06 Heritage vin 0002. They assured me it is not for sale----"at least not as of today".

    Stainless Works Header w/ high flow cats

    Same here--no baffles. Love the sound as is. But then maybe my ears are a little deadened due to too many hours in race cars.

    Stainless Works Header w/ high flow cats

    Stainless Works I too installed the Stainless Works headers with cats. Yea, it's loud and I love it--the way these gals should sound. No problem with installation (that is with the generous help of the Shadowman). Passed Tennessee Emisions last month. Now she sounds as wicked as she looks.

    rennegade car haulers

    If interested, I currently have such a unit for sale. It's a Wildside motorhome on a Class 8 truck chassis with a stacker trailer with an internal lift. A little higher end than a Rennagade, but a whole bunch safer in the event of a highway mishap. Call me if you are interested. Cell: 615-533-9368

    Ford Racing--yes!!

    I like the future Rally idea. Ford is heavily involved with the race team, so I would expect that they might even participate in the hospitality aspect. The only problem would be finding a weekend that the team was not out racing. Of course there are two race dates at the Nashville...

    Ford Racing--yes!!

    I forgot I forgot to give an update on the more mundane aspects. The new team name is Baker Curb Racing and we have completed our move to a new 75,000 sq. ft. facility in Nashville, Music City, USA. Some of you Calif. guys may know the name Mike Curb...He was the Republican Lt. Governor back in...

    my tribute to Evel Knievel - 1938 to 2007

    I knew EK. We always got together when he came to Nashville and stayed in touch by phone for several years. He was a good guy.

    Ford Racing--yes!!

    I decided that any company capable of building such an engineering marvel as the GT is a company that I was ready to go racing with. So I just completed the purchase of a Ford racing team that fields 2 cars in the NASCAR Busch (Nationwide) Series and one car in the ARCA series. (See...
