    Property taxes on FGTs

    Wow....no one in Mississippi knows anything about the gt...my tax (or tag) this year was 270 dollars...I guess they think it's a Mustang... But then again you have lowest per capita income, highest obesity, shortest life span, highest stroke rate....it goes on....

    Rear diffuserfin repair

    I had my OEM diffuser fixed after I backed into a curb by the local Ford dealership, it is definitely fiberglass as Shelby said.

    Pricing

    My first car was a 69 Mustang....but like your long lost girlfriend you tend to remember the good points...No it wasn't a Boss but it was cool.. I got it in 1973 and thought it was the best looking thing on the road save for a Boss or Mach 1. I immediately put glass packs and big white letter...

    A great weekend

    OK, on a track I know (NOLA) I timed your You Tube video at 1.55 sec lap time in a your basically stock GT! (I did get to ride a couple of laps with you!). I looked at other times...2.03 for a GTR and 2.02 for a ZO6... I know it was mostly the driver, but 7-8 seconds a lap is a lifetime.. For...

    Hagerty value for the Heritage!

    The GTs value has secured a "floor" because people like me see it as the least likely modern super car in that price range that will rapidly depreciate to half it's msrp in 5 years. That and the obvious low maintenance cost and upside price pressure from collectors from Russia, China and The...

    Hagerty value for the Heritage!

    I agree Dave that there is a limit to the price...but last week as I contemplated selling my GT for about 50k more than I paid for it 6.5 years ago...I realized that the cash would just sit in a money market account at close to 0% interest.. I don't know where the value is headed, but I opted to...

    Ebay - #1 is interesting

    Mine has the same amount of miles and also in perfect condition...I bet mine is a lot better than the ones under 1000 miles..10 years of sitting does bad things to rubber seals, not good for them to sit.

    Why the GT defies gravity

    Lots of recent posts have observed the lowering numbers of GTs along with the escalating prices at auction and online. Reasons we all know that the GT is retaining value are: 1. Most desirable American car built since the original Cobra and original GT 40. 2. Beautiful, unique and masculine...
