There is more knowledge in this ebay listing than I have ever read in a single advertisement.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ford...7937582?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item1c1a285eae

My favorite: the paint is original but has 12 coats of clear over it done by Gennaddi for example

Question, if it has perfect paint, why the 12 coats of clear?

I wonder how you settle on 12 coats. I just picture the guy after coats 10 and 11 saying "nope, not quite" then at 12 "ahh, perfect"

I also like that he is the expert on trannys having owned 514 cars.

The ad has more exclamation points than one of those family Christmas letters where you get to hear all the exciting events of the past year! ("Jimmy made the JV basketball team!")

Well, I'm a pretty good thread killer around here so I'll just say it....

There should be a FGT conservatorium established to purchase the few remaining GT's from this kind of horrific existence.

Obviously not clued into this forum, not a single mention of an upgraded crank damper.....

Sorry, Chip.

This guy has had this car listed a few times. He kills his own sale. Did you see this "TIRE" he invented?

Does 00684 really qualify as a "late 2005?"

And the bumper delete he claims cost him a ton of cash is actually the stock rear frame horns cut flush with the rear fascia and painted black!!!!!!!!!!

The tires.


Edit: seems like an interesting concept... idk how it would work though. I would think somebody would have already tried it at some point in history.

WHATTTTT? No upgrade on the crankshaft damper????
You just have to have the BEST on this car.....

This seller obviously does not have a clue even after having owned 514 cars.
