this thread made me spring for Gominigo's front license plate mount. i carry my plate behind my driver's seat now, but if i carry the fully assembled kit in the car, i may be able to talk my way out of a "no FLP" ticket.

Aren't the original bolts "star Pattern" bolts? That would be one way to possibly tell.

three come to mind.... a). i was stopped at a red light and a tall Sprinter van pulled up next to me. a guy leaned almost totally out of the window (past his waist) and yelled out a blood curdling scream while pointing at my car, "now THAT'S what I'm talkin' about !!!" b). i was stopped at...

i have lived in Dana Point since 1996 and really enjoy it. it is not as crowded or expensive as Laguna Beach or Newport Beach, but i am 1 mile from the ocean. you will get a bigger home for your money in Costa Mesa, Coto de Caza, Laguna Hills, or Aliso Viejo, but not being by the beach will...

awesome car, looks like lots of documentation & history. is this the holy grail? http://www.fantasyjunction.com/cars/1162-Ford-GT40%20Competition%20Coupe-289%20c.i.%208-Cylinder

I hate to pile on but here goes: a Heritage VIN 1FAFFP90586Y400304. And how did you get these pic's? Thanks a bunch for checking!

a couple of things: 1). when i owned Porsche's, i went to an a few autocrosses and found that all i really did was get to rev my car up to 6000 RPM's in second gear and dodge cones. this was fun once or twice, but it was more frustrating for me. ultimately it led me to take my P-car to real...

i couldn't help but post this great instructional driving video depicting the C5 & C6 Corvette models. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=a5f_1322263306

CA will not register a car with less than 7,500 miles on it that is a "49 state car". This designation means the car is considered "new" (less than 7,500 miles) and does not have a manufacturer's sticker certifying that the car complies with CA smog guidelines and is legal to register in the...

Had I been looking to buy, I would not have bid on the blue/white car. It looked like it had had not lived a pampered life. I would have gone for the silver/black.

The silver / black GT hammered for $140K. It was a very nice car. The owner said be loved the car but just never drove it. He said he was thinking of giving up cars and buying pianos instead.

Funny quick story......The Mecum crew was getting the silver/black GT ready to be 'towed' to the stage via golf cart. There was a guy desperately trying to get the tow hook in. I watched him for a minute cursing all to he'll, so I stooped down and said, "it is reverse threaded.......I have one...

The white / blue GT hammered for $131K w/o buyer's premium. Assuming the premium is 10%, that brings it to the $143K range.

I just looked the two cars over. Here's the info: VIN 401572, white with blue stripes. Mileage unknown. Paint is decent, but engine is dirty IMHO for a car about to be auctioned. Does not appear to have the transaxle bolts done as Torqx nuts are still on the car. The passenger rear wheel well...

"Auctions are a scary place.....lots of remorse afterwards....not usually on the seller's part." I couldn't disagree more with this statement. If it were true, auction houses like RM, Gooding & Company, Barrett-Jackson, Mecum, and Russo and Steele would not be doing so well. While I agree...

i have bought two cars at auctions and did not have a problem with either car. They were from a reputable auction house who had done their homework on the title and ownership history. it was my job to check them out thoroughly before the auction and either bid or not bid. There is risk buying...

i will be there for the auction. i will try to post with results on the two GT's.

i was a porsche guy before getting my GT and i have always like the Carrera GT. You can get a solid low mileage car at auction for mid $300K's.

I pulled into a gas station in Carmel yesterday because I saw a gray GT......who do I meet at the cash register giving the cashier a hard time about the high cost of a Snickers bar in California??? None other than GTJoey. I told him about my Heritage, i complimented him on his 3,000 mile...

almost all of my "title-able" assets including cars are titled under my Revocable Living Trust. if & when you go to the DMV in your state, you will most likely be faced with a clerk who does not know what the heck you are talking about. i learned about Living Trusts, and titling assets in the...
