    Oil Pressure Gauge; Ammeter Gone

    I have a 2005 GT which I plan to keep forever. It's very low mileage; mostly rests in garage on battery maintainer. Within the past 3 yrs, I've replaced the tach and the fuel gauge. A few months ago, the ammeter stopped working. Today, the oil pressure gauge stopped working; both are frozen...

    Featherlite Open Trailer Tire Straps

    I've got an open Featherlite and want to install a tire strap system. I've read previous threads about using e-tracks and either tire baskets or straps through the wheel spokes. I lean toward the baskets. However, most of this discussion was for closed trailers with wood decks. My specific...

    GT Model

    I've got the AutoArt 1:18 Ford GT and it's O.K. However, nothing that I've seen compares with the 1:12 GMP Ford GT40 models. I've got the Gulf colors edition (no longer made) and the detail is remarkable. However, need a pretty big desk.

    Service at Harrold Ford, Sacramento

    Some months ago, I took my 2005 GT to a local (Fresno) ford dealership for routine service, axle bolt replacement, and dead tach repair. I went there only because they were the only local dealership that agreed to let me stay with the car during the repairs. After the guy wrote up the order...

    Original Car Covers

    It's my understanding that there were two different nylon car covers made by Ford that came with the car. The original was mostly black with a white Ford GT log made of some felt-like substance. The second was mostly silver with black Ford GT lettering. At some point in 2005, Ford decided...

    A Question for any GT Owner

    In my opinion, you should set your sights slightly lower for a first car. Get something that you can work on, learn first hand the basics of drivetrain, electrics, suspension, and body work. Rebuild an pre-smog control engine, say a 1964 small block chevy. I started with 1964 Dodge 440 and...

    Question about TSB

    Let's say one buys a new early 2005 car now with 3 delivery miles. It's put in a collection and accumulates say 500 miles over the next 5 yrs. At that point, the rear seal starts to leak and the problem is identified as the well know crankshaft issue with the first 250 or so cars. Would Ford...
