    You never know who (or what) will show up with "The Car Guys Who Lunch"

    Continuation FORD GT Mark IVs Paul - The Viking Blue Ford GT Mk IV is Fran Kress's J-13, one of seven Mark IV "continuation" cars built by Kar Kraft. They are incredibly detailed and accurate in every respect. WRT the ride height of CSX2367, I got a note from Joe explaining that when...

    You never know who (or what) will show up with "The Car Guys Who Lunch"

    Cobras with buggy springs Getting the ride height where you want it on a small-block Cobra with transverse-leaf springs is a real bear. Everyone I know who's had their Cobra springs rebuilt has had issues trying to get the ride height where they'd like it to be. I thought CSX2367 looked like...

    You never know who (or what) will show up with "The Car Guys Who Lunch"

    Csx2367 I ran into Joe the other day at the Lake Mirror Classic Auto Festival in Florida. Hadn't seen him since the SAAC 28 Convention in Nashville in 2003. Here's a few shots of his Concours-winning 289 Cobra that he bought new at Gotham Ford in 1964 that I took at SAAC 28: and here's...

    To Shadowman from Shadow

    GTs at Lake Mirror Classic Al - Congratulations on your win. Sorry I didn't get a chance to speak with you or Gary at the show. It was my first time there, and I really enjoyed it. Was happy to see a couple GTs on display, disappointed there were no real Cobras. I remember seeing your...

    First sight of a Ford GT

    First sight of a Ford GT......June, 2003 My first sighting of a finished GT was at the Ford Centennial Celebration in June, 2003. I had seen a few of the mules over at Roush, but they weren't much to look at. The "unveiling" at the Centennial, though pretty wet, was still very exciting...

    Electric trailer dolly for maneuvering in tight spaces?

    Front Hitch... ....and AWD works like a charm I used to stuff my enclosed trailer between my garage and the next door neighbor's house - and it wasn't a straight shot, either. Much easier after adding the front hitch. The Mariner was a stock installation, the Mountaineer and Aviator...

    Looking at another FGT How to tell if odometer is tampered with?

    Jorgen - If you send me an e-mail with the last four digits of the VIN, I'll look and see if I have any records on it. You would be surprised how many wrecked GTs have clean CARFAXs! regards, Jeff

    How do you know if a Cobra is real?

    Paul - Yes, they are. Back in the seventies and eighties, the Jones boys gave many a hair raising ride in that beautiful beast at SAAC Open Track events (back when our insurance riders used to allow passengers). Jeff
