    Looking forward to seeing Rich represent more FGTs downstream. His reputation and knowledge of these cars as most here know is unparalleled. I enjoyed his posts and additional focus on the car's mechanicals.

    Battery for 2006 gt

    That may be or is approaching a record, getting 13 years out of an FGT battery. As much as I like to keep the OEM/OEM-like deal going on all FGT replacement parts, not sure on this one. My battery supplier and others are really negative on new Optimas, I'll be replacing soon so we'll see...

    My 2006 twin turbo is live on Bring a Trailer.

    Those twin turbo Texas Mile days really showed what a beast Ford engineered and delivered. This car is not only a proven monster but gorgeous as well. Many think the bumblebee FGT is the best color package and this example is so well detailed. Good luck Texas GT, hope this brings all the $!

    My opinion, pre-photoshop info: Black chrome wheels don't work on much. Certainly not on a Centennial White FGT. Good luck, do your thing if you decide you like them.

    Coolant leak at front of pulley/pump

    I love it, strong work, figured you might want to protect those hands though. I especially love the part about your wife and kids pitching in with some muscle, LOL. Straightforward job with good directions but you're being modest about degree of difficulty. Almost certain most owners would...

    "Stripe delete" meaning

    To me, stripe delete means side stripe delete, no cost Option 97D from Ford. Interesting question from BSIM27, maybe one/some are out there, anyone know? As we know, plenty of cars with the side stripe tape fully/partially removed by owners.

    Looking for a GT (2005-6), first time buyer would like to know a bit more.

    LOL! Like most things in life, timing is everything. Who knows what tomorrow brings however? One thing is certain, things will likely be different. Prices up, prices down, would be nice to know, huh?

    New Member Introduction

    Welcome, thanks for posting your story. Hard to move forward sometimes after a great loss. So glad you've decided that your dad's FGT is a keeper. And glad it has a blue stripe, you'll see it easier in the MN snow!
