I've always admired these cars. Not sure if I would ever get one. Came across this one at the right place right time. Fairy tale story really....

Damn man! You got a white one; the best and fastest color! Ain't no fairy tale anymore now eh! Enjoy her...175 miles says she needs some exercise...and if you have oil leaking at the rear - it's normal on these low mileage cars. :) Both of mine leak; they're like old Harley's!

Some will (always) disagree but I'm glad MSO cars are available years later for those who want them.

As you know, you just bought a true gem, a relatively low volume, very high demand American supercar.

Ford hit a grand slam and we are the beneficiaries. Welcome and congratulations! :cheers

Hello from Charlotte and welcome. Several GT's in the area, hope to see you at a local event. Good luck with the gages. Many of us have been through several replacements; as stated here many times it is important to leave the car on a tender if not driven often.
Good luck with a great car

Curious, are all the gauges working??? just wondering with low miles if there was any impact to them.

He mentioned 3 of his gauges were out in another thread.

Welcome to the forum. As others have astutely said, you got the best color! Congrats.

I will dispute that white is the fastest!
Everybody knows that blue is.
Still, beautiful car, and congrats.
Welcome!

My fuel, boost, and temp gauges do not work. FYI.

your car sat for a long time probably without a tender. Replace the battery first. Change fluids and the oil pump belt
