Not seeing any grow lamps.....

If I remember Correctly the air filters are for a Mustang except that there's two of them?

Best colour!

We'll be there, visit number 6 for us. Looking forward to all the new Ford stuff we can pilfer!

I'm with Ed - GT Guy retro exhaust is the only way to go!

And drive it - the more you do that, the fewer problems you'll have

Just an FYI, a couple of cars here in Houston ended up with cracked windscreens when they applied the clearplex. "Gorilla glass? That's just what we call it Sir, it's actually a lot more fragile than regular glass."

From my experience, by far the toughest job in a major service is getting that frigging fuel filter out!

No BJ auction experience, but I sold my Merlin-engined Rolls through Bonhams at Amelia a few years ago. Totally painless experience, very professional, negotiable fees and instant post-sale fund transfer, I'd use them again in a heartbeat.

If the previous owner had followed the service interval requirements you shouldn't need to do much. However, if you want to enjoy a couple of days of busted knuckles and frustration, change the fuel filter that will probably be frozen on, and be clean as a whistle when you finally get that...

I got 3 tickets last year, but in my defense the rental was an awesome three series M station wagon (sadly not sold in the US). Rental companies are so connected these days that it's an automatic debit.

This is a big ask, hope we can pull it off!

Pulley and tune is probably the best single mod you can do to your GT: No downside and dirt cheap, think it cost me about a dollar per horsepower but that was 15 years ago. After that it starts costing money. I'm at 682rwhp (thanks Rich!) but it cost a lot more than $682!

"Cluch pedal to the floor scenario" is instantly fixed by installing a trannsaxle cooler. From memory, doesn't the manual say change all fluids every 30,000 miles?

Only time I had a check engine light come on in almost 55000 miles was when the fuel filler flap broke, car was running fine.
