After losing my beloved car 2 years ago to an inexperienced friend behind the wheel, I'm happy to report that I've got another FGT heading west soon to call me Papa!

Thanks much to Shelby for the painless transaction and looking forward to resuming the ownership experience with the rest of you all!

Welcome back Ben.

Oh hey Ben, did you buy that White 'egg that's rolling around in WA? Maybe a little thread about that car would be nice to read..... (hint hint). :thumbsup (I'm assuming this from your avatar on the Team, if I'm wrong, oops, sorry).

What's funny is I got this car from the original owner who also lived in Washington. What are the odds It would end up back there....
Thank you for your purchase. You got a like new black beauty!!! Enjoy and don't let friends drive this time :)

I know very well the previous owner and car as we are neighbors here in Sandpoint Idaho. Congratulations, you got a car that was properly cared for, well maintained and never driven in poor weather conditions. Enjoy!

Bought it silver, wrapped it white...AWESOME car. Very similar to the FGT as far as driving dynamics but a bit more spaceship-like. No thread hasbeen created yet - but I'll get around to it someday.

Ooop's my bad, Mike said he sold you his black no stripe so I connected the dots. Wow those seem to be as common up here as a red 4 option.:wink

Black no stripe is not as rare as some think. There were 212 Black cars with NO TOP STRIPE made between 2005 - 2006

Hey Ben, Welcome back to the GT family. It was nice to meet you at the track event in Miami. You got some cool toys. If you get down this way again let me know. Regards, Brian

Now, with no side stripes or top stripes it is more like 58ish? Right?

With no top and sides stripes the number is about 110 total for the two years. There were 58 for the 05 year alone, but honestly in my personal opinion side stripes are irrelevant since they are just stickers and can be installed or removed at anytime.
