A very good day for the high-lift door mod in prep for lift! Went with the LM 8500 side winder after all. (Paint and better outlet locations are in the works during upcoming garage makeover) I asked the local crew to give me every inch of headroom they could. They said 2 1/2" from ceiling...

Superb photo, with an inspiring glimpse into your passion for the car.

Beautiful scene. no stripe-deletes..... so I'd say he only has about half a collection:biggrin

Do the doors open completely to the outside? any chance of pics? Could be an idea for me, although I suspect our HOA wouldn't allow it. I've got 9' 3" to work with

The 6 spd Getrag in the MKIV Supra platform is legendary for never being the weak link even over 1xxx whp. Almost ancient history I suppose, but may as well take it as a good omen : )

Thought of that right after my last reply. That is the solution for me, the single small manual door is behind only weekend toys, with a padlock it will be more secure even if someone came through the double-wide daily driver door

As with your home, I will have my security system set up to alert me if the door is opened. Thanks for the reminder about getting a better pin-locking system, no doubt a readily added item in manual form without using a liftmaster

I am getting a 4-post to bunk-bed my new 06 GT, and need every inch of ceiling clearance I can get. I find that with correct spring adjustment, the single door is so light and easy to open that I am forgoing any power opener. Also getting a few more inches by getting the spring-assembly...

As a guy that also just bought one, I am intrigued by our market discussions. My biggest take-away from my year of research, is that a careful buyer can do well finding the middle of the vast spread between what a dealer pays for these cars and what they sell them for. The most repeated...

Hope this isn't too much of a thread diversion, but can you comment more on the "collector-value" of having the original tires? I just bought a 1600 mile car with the original tires on it, that I at this point plan to throw away next week when the new Bridgestones arrive. What possible value to...

Felix, thanks for the fun greeting. I started this search with Midnight Blue no-stripe as my absolute #1 favorite. But of course I could not pass this car up. We have both hit the jackpot : ) Can you give me a link to see some pics of your car? Brian

Yes sir, Bridgestones just ordered : ) Tires on the car are the originals, so gotta go. Especially with a Torrie Pulley/tune on order.

This is so cool, it is only beginning to slowly sink in....... me, an owner-member in this community now. Hard to pick my favorite angle.... maybe this one? I couldn't find even the tiniest nick on the center console. Makes it seem like I'm buying a new car. Engine bay hygiene looking...

guys my post wasn't coming from any stress or worries at all, just like chattin' price trends : ) Good summary, thanks for including the Mecum results.

So as an avid current market watcher, what am I make to of this? The Silver car at 297, let alone 272, tells me the market is still down, and bargains can be had. The red car at 255, let alone 280, means either that the market is roaring back, or there are a some suckers in Scottsdale for a...

12k miles, OP is original owner

Skully, I very much enjoyed our discussions over the last 2 weeks, and wish you the very best in finding the right home for your beautiful car. For any potential buyers seeing this, I suggest you not miss what an excellent opportunity this is. I had a plane ticket bought, and expected to buy...

Guys, thanks for the warm welcome! I am in Denver. I have been studying every online ad and doing homework for this for about a year. That prep had me ready to pounce during my first call about this car; if I hadn't, it would have been gone to someone else the next day.

It appears it has been 4 weeks to the day since I started my searching thread. I am thrilled, geeked, and stoked all at once to post that I have secured my GT. Compared to my original target description, it differs mainly in being a lot lower miles (1575), more pristine, and a bit more money...

Purchase made. Thank you FGT forum for saving me from the cost of new.
