I found some sort of dealer guide to the '05 Fords and it has a nice color picture of O. John Coletti as they introduce the Ford GT. I was surprised when he retired from Ford just after the Ford GT's recall was announced. I was wondering if he was forcibly retired but a Ford PR man said he had put in over 30 years and it was just time to go. I know the SVT offerings seemed to be shrinking (cancelling the Adrenalin, etc.) and the GT was not sold under the SVT umbrella.
So what I would lke to know, if anyone knows, is
-what is he doing now?
-did he at least leave with his own GT and is it modified?
-did he retire when he wanted to retire, and it was just coincidence that
he retired when the GT ran into trouble?
-does anyone have his e-mail (JColetti@fordcom doesn't work anymore)
I got a kick out of meeting him--he was a type A personality, full speed ahead damn-the-torpedoes type which is what Ford needed to get a car like the Ford GT built.
