    New headlights for 2005/6MY Ford GT

    Since Ford has already sold you the car it doesn't have to be concerned with the long term value of the car. What increasing parts availability will do is increase the value of the COMPANY. Public image, company reputation, visible commitment to their products and their customers. Remember...

    New Owner

    I hope that helps. https://gt101.co.uk/ford-gt/ There is also a nifty little device that helps prevent voltage surges to the gauges. I got one several years ago. I don't know if he is still producing them. I have 41kmiles, no gauge problems. I do also wait until the gauges...

    Jimmy Buffett thread?

    I got lucky, saw him in Phoenix last spring. Good show and really enjoyed his book "A Salty Piece of Land". Just outrageous fun.

    Clamshell bumpers

    I think I found it. Under $30 for the pair. unscrew the plug in doohickey and use the nuts from the old ones. I believe the spring is sturdier than the original. https://www.cjponyparts.com/trunk-spring-with-rubber-bumper-pair-mustang-1999-2004/p/HW4086/

Contact Ford customer service. I don't believe Stillen or Spec are still making a clutch for the GT. I Tried them. GT...

    If you watch the old movie "Le Mans" with Steve McQueen there is a shot of the infield, and it appears there is a kiddy ride with some of the GT 40s.

    So What are You Planning to do With or On Your FGT This Year?

    There is a tiny hole near the base of the ball. There is supposed to be a little wire clip which keeps the ball from popping off the connection point. Mine came off after I failed to miss a pothole on the way to a cars and coffee. I went to an auto supply and bought some strut ends and used...
