Joey, There's a GT listed on BAT, 05' no. 0435. I recall that some of the early GT's had cracks in the front uprights and leaks with the rear main seal. Were those issues fixed by that serial no.? We lost our two GT's (and your book!) in the Colorado wildfires so looking to replace them. Do you...

I agree with your thinking Tony. I believe that seals, especially high pressure ones like used in struts and A/C compressors, do better when kept lubricated. So as ironic as it seems the struts should last longer when used occasionally than when stored, whether or not they're stored on the shelf...

I don't know who's GT, but it was near the channel 9 studio on Speer this morning for a news story I saw promoting the Concours show on June 10 at Arapahoe Community College.

Not sure Brian how long it'll be there but I'll find out and let you know. And the Liquid Blue is my top pick too.

Found the Ron Pratte charity car from B-J Scottsdale doing a poor job at blending in at the Shelby American Collection in Boulder CO...

Jalopnik likes it too

I'm a little surprised that the comp car doesn't come standard with the anchors for the 6 point harness's.

Actually that was the Roadster on the Falcon, not the S. But for even more trivial trivia, does anyone know if there's parts on the Roadster shared with the 05' GT? The Roadster came out a few years after the GT's.

From Chip's comment "Ford was pretty adamant that the cars cure for 30 days before wrapping them", since paint curing is time and temperature dependent I'd give it another couple of weeks to be safe if the car when delivered is kept in a cold garage.

Great video production! Kudos on the editing.

Doubtful he'll be talking cars, but as an FYI I see that Cena will be on the Tonight Show tomorrow (Wed. night).

It was 1969 I think, I would have been 12, that the Cobra Caravan stopped at the local Goodyear dealer in Erie, PA. My memory is of a couple of Cobra's, a black GT-40, and some GT-350’s. It was lust at first sight. I still appreciate but don’t understand all the attention the Cobra’s got when...

It'll be easy to get it anodized once it's off, but unlikely it'll be a factory match. It looks like maybe a clear coat finish over a clear anodize. I"ll PM later with some info.

Sixth and seventh, out of a starting field of 8 in LMGTE PRO. Regardless, it was still great to meet up with the Texas forum guys. Thanks for the intro's Frank. And at least the spec series Ferrari Challenge race with 44 458 & 488's of mostly amateur drivers bang around a little made for some...

I'll be coming in for the race. Hope to see y'all at the ford trailer.
