Jumping in late.... I work for a Ford dealer that got six 2005-2006s (I bought one). Getting two Mustang GT350s and one R. I reckon we'll get at least one new GT, hoping more.

Bought mine for invoice less holdback (dealer employee), drove it for a year, 2,000 miles. Sold it for a $14,000 profit. Wish I had never sold it.

Has anyone seen or heard of the 2006 Tungsten, one-option (painted brake calipers), no stripe car, VIN ending in 1827? I'd like to buy it back. Ken Silverman

Sold mine a while ago. Would love to buy it back. 2006 #1827 - tungsten, no stripes - anybody seen it? Ken S

The only one making money on KRs is Shelby. I was out to the NASCAR race in Vegas, and Shelby will put his name on anything for $$$.

Everybody.... Thanks for the ideas. The tix was only $155, and I'm not going back to OH, so screw it. My decision is also fueled by the fact that I drive on a dealer tag that is not related to my (lousy) driving record. Besides, the cop was nice about it, and I didn't want to ruin his...

On the way home from Indy (Thanks AGAIN, GT Joey, IndyGT, Bony, et al.!), I met an Ohio State Trooper who seemed to feel like I was going 84 in the 65 zone. (We really DO need cruise control.) My lawyer/buddy/shotgun-rider suggested that I just smile, say yes-sir, sign, and drive. Smoky asked...

I imagine me and my buddy will be hungry Friday and Saturday nights, too. Can y'all locals help us? The whole town gets pretty full, doesn't it? I guess you can tell that I haven't been to Indy before....

Black Ice- There is no question that Ford marketed the car to its dealers as a reward. The initial allocations went to "President's Award" winners (about 500/year), then by "share-of-nation" (that is, the largest volume dealers in the US. Several were also allocated to smaller dealers by...

Whether or not Ford made money on the entire FordGT project as a whole, considering the control arm problem; it is reasonable to assume that all of the R&D had been written off through the 4,200 +/- vehicle production run. So building one more, or two more (and so on) would have to be very...

Dave- That makes more sense than anything else I've heard. Thanks for the info, Ken Silverman

I never thought about it until a prospective buyer asked me why Ford stopped building Ford GTs. While we owners certainly appreciate the exclusivity of owning a limited production vehicle, I assume that Ford Motor Company made a reasonable profit per vehicle, so building more would put needed...

Back to Fyr-Ftr's original question: How did you get to the gas station without your keys? If you drove it, you've got your keys; if you towed it, you don't need gas. ??????????????????????????

Here on the East (right) Coast, we are offering the Shelby at $10k over MSRP. That makes it about $50,000. The GT500s that we sold were rolling out of here at about $20k over. Close to $70,000.

I've been using whatever 93 octane comes out of the pumps in Virginia. The labels say it "contains ethanol." I hate the idea.... If I were going to let the GT sit, I would probably get some drum unleaded race fuel without any ethanol.

When our first GT was delivered (I work at a Ford dealer) by Reliable Carriers, the carrier driver gave us some "simple" rules, including: - Put the seat all the way back to get in and out - Don't smash your face on the door overhang I usually do the butt-drop/leg-swing thing, holding the...

Any details, please?

I got involved with a hybrid by a different manufacturer than Toyota that would fully engage the regeneration mode (coasting wheel power drives the generator) at highway speeds. The effect was like hard braking, but without displaying the stop lights. The dealer (yes, that's us) couldn't...

My current plan (subject to change at any moment) is to drive to Rockville, MD, where my buddy has an enclosed 24' trailer, then load up and go from there. It's [sort of] on the way, if I'm just going straight out 270 to 70. ONBOOST, did you say you drove to Indy last year? Ken S.

Are there any other Virginia GT owners going to Indy? I'm in VaBeach....
