New Owner - Found My Midnight Blue!

[Midengine-man]

I purchased '06 #1118 yesterday and drove it the 235 miles home, what a "Landjet". It was one of only 4 Midnight Blues left in the Ford Inventory list, a 4 option car with 2.8 miles on it. Still has all the stickers and the seat plastic. (Any advice on removing and preserving the stickers will be appreciated). Zymol wax treatment starts tomorrow. Yesterday was 40 years in the making and the greatest day in my life. Thanks for all your help, I look forward to participating in this forum actively, now that I am finally an Owner.:cheers

Congrats!!!!!! 'Bet it only seemed like it took 15 minutes to make the entire trip home, didn't it!:lol

You won't be sorry you bought it. They're really "something else." You're gunna LOVE that thing!:thumbsup

Oh! Excellent color choice, by the way!!!:biggrin

(You might want to seriously think about installing a "windshield film" on the rig real soon to protect same from small stones, etc., BEFORE it takes "a hit.")
(The front fenders have to come off to change a windshield remember.)

Congratulations!!!!

Out of curiosity, do you know where the other 3 are?

 

[Midengine-man]

Yes, I know where the other 3 are;
One is in Eastern Long Island, 631 765-9200. The Dealership Owner, Howard Lucas, seems set on keeping the car for himself. The other two are in California, one @ North County Ford in Vista. Try contacting the Owner direct at seanc@northcountyjeep.com. They are a Ford dealer and wanted $187K a month ago. It wasn't titled yet but they had around 250 miles on it. They had a different salesman call me everyday, each of them telling me a different price. The other is @ Hemborg Ford in Riverside, but Mr. Hemborg did not have any interest in selling when I contacted his secretary, Hollie Ellis. If you need more info, let me know. The Vista GT was on eBay @ # 2801 0185 2762 with some decent pics.

Hey Empty,
Thanks for the info on the Color Production Numbers.
I found that most dealers really don't know much about the production numbers on these cars.:thumbsup

I tried to buy a gt from north county and they wanted 75 K over sticker in jan of 06 . I also asked about the blue one after I had mine and they wanted in the 200 K range about 3 months ago, so I dont think they really wanted to sell it then.

 

[Midengine-man]

Agreed,
I told them they would be keeping that car for a long time. Is that your Formula Car??
