Mustang loveseat That's really sweet! Now, if it were mine, I'd replace the standard rear valence with a GT valence, add a couple GT trumpet exhaust tips, and a smoke generator hidden underneath :rofl Great job! Jeff

Had s similar thing happen to me a few years back - and the "victim" was my brother! My Dad bought a 1985 ASC McLaren Capri roadster new. I got it from him a couple years later. In 2002, I bought a '57 T'Bird (it had always been one of my dream cars), and didn't have room for four collector...

DeTomaso Mangusta - Jeff

Andy - I think we are talking two different scenarios here. I would agree that the VIN number is attached (and etched) into the car at later stages in vehicle assembly. However, I believe the VIN number itself is established by Ford when the vehicle order is created, and then a Rotation...

Kevin - That is the "Rotation" number - sometime after the VIN was assigned, a "Rotation" number was assigned which represented the scheduled build sequence. Due to assembly issues and parts issues, even the Rotation numbers are not in exactly the same sequence that the cars were finished...

I don't have any owner information, but I did send you an e-mail with the information that I do have on the car. Hope your inspection and PPI go well. regards, Jeff

Actually, it was a production car with a standard VIN. It is included in the option reports I got from Ford. There were only TWO GTs built with custom paint - the Sonic Blue car (5-0348), and the Heritage Blue 2005 (5-0036) that did not have any stripes or roundels. The Blue car with the...

Sam - I blew up some close-ups I have of these, and, best I can tell, it looks like 245/45x18 on front, and 285/40x19 on the rear. Please bear in mind these wheels AND tires are prototypes custom made for the GT Concepts models - the exact same tire may never have made it to production. I've...

2005 Heritage GT That is NOT the 2005 GT that was originally painted in the Heritage Blue color, THIS is: You will obviously notice, it is no longer Heritage Blue - it is Tungsten Grey. So it was not only the only 2005 painted in Heritage Blue, it was also the only 2005 to be painted in...

Ed's Hook by the GT Guys Ed's wheels stopped spinning at SAAC 35 long enough for me to get this picture of his rear tow hook: (Looks like a little cleaner install than the Rube Golberg job at BJ) :biggrin Jeff

I think that the "Build number" from the SVT Cert package is different from the "Rotation number" that appears on the sticker on the windshield. Based upon numbers I have, it appears the "Build number" is the sequence number for the Model Year build (Build#1437 for VIN 6-1570), while the...

Have a great day, my friend! :biggrin Jeff

There are no "real" decent BOSS 302s available in 2010 for $25-$30k - a clone, yes, but not a real one. Just a couple years ago, a nice one would bring $70k - they'll be back up there when the economy turns around. 14,000 Shelby Mustangs built in the sixties - sold for $3k-$5k new; sold for...

I've pretty much solved this problem for myself. I have a beautiful small house on a small lake in Michigan with a 3-car heated garage - it's just wonderful in Spring, Summer, and Fall. In the Winter, it sucks, big time. The last three years, we have rented a condo on the water from a Cobra...

The "Radio Delete" was technically not an orderable option. I do not believe that there was a delete "block-off plate" used like in older Mustangs. ALL of the cars built for Europe were spec'd with a Radio Delete package, under the assumption that they would get a DIN size radio with the...

The "New Ford GT Registrar at SAAC.Com" works, or you can send to my personal one: "Cobrajeff at AAT dot Net" Jeff

Last 200 GTs B.M.F. - your car, 6-1843, was definately a US spec car. 6-1870 was the LAST US spec car built - all 2006 Ford GTs with the last four digits of the VIN above 1870 were built to Canadian specs. roketman - C'mon Ron, anybody who has a SAAC GT Registry knows that 6-1858 isn't a...

I guess the reason SAAC has included the new Ford GTs in their Registry is a result of Shelby's involvement with the racing success of the original GT40s. He was certainly instrumental in turning the GT40 into a race-winning machine. His involvement with the new GT was more in the role of a...

I am tracking GTs that have been converted to race cars, too. I have the Ford VINs of Neils, Stillens, and Robertsons. Neils and one of Robertsons and were converted from street cars; Stillen's car was originally a pre-production prototype with a 2004 Model Year VIN. If anyone else knows...

I am keeping a database with info on all 4038 GTs, which includes original build specs including colors and options, owner info, and modifications done by owners. I am also tracking wrecked/totaled GTs. The vast majority that have been wrecked have been repaired and put back on the road...
