I have made the tough decision to sell my grabber blue 2005 Ford GT. As most of you know, this is a rebuilt title car that I did all the repairs on in 2008 and it's been the most enjoyable car since for me these past 9 years. As a 32 year Ford Engineer and Ford GT Engineering Supv, it was very advantageous to have access to all the correct / certified repair procedures, parts, and the know how to make it better than new.

Thanks for the comments, yes, if you look at the photos in the Flickr Album, you will see the door stickers in the photo about 7 images down. I also have the rocker sill covers - just have not installed them yet.

Hi Ed,

Thanks.

Didn't think title would make that kind of a difference, considering how fine the car looks. At that price, it seems like a hell of a deal, and should provide someone with a lot of cost-effective automotive thrills.
