my Dad was a Buick man all of his life and I still have his 64 Riviera we bought new when I was 12 years old. Sits right next to my GT in the upper garage

those were the days. I lusted after this car when I was 14 and they of course won Leman.

seems that that is the main problem with the 05-06 GTs impossibility of easily sourcing parts. FOOLISHLY when I purchased mine from the dealer in south western Virginia, It was about the same price as Porsche Turbo, so I thought here is a good driver I can have fun with and keep for awhile and...

my replacement was identical to the original one. A bit of searching for the bolt hole but really no problem what so ever

he died too young rip ken

I second that emotion wholeheartedly! Guy said the same thing, never worked on a Ford GT before and the guys looked like Pinto repairmen

well Jeff put that guy in his place!!!!

pretty ugly in my opinion, but on the other hand look at what WE look at every day!!!!!!!

no but the interior light was on the whole time, and everything works perfectly and nothing has changed, and the battery never ran flat dead, so think that I am ok. I plugged in the small battery into the lighter before disconnecting the main battery

so battery replacement went very easily. Bought the Optima Redtop 25 at oreilly's auto parts for 91 bucks, had it in stock, put heavy blankets over the fenders, carefully removed the trunk lining, plugged in my 12 volt power source into the cigar lighter, removed the negative cable first, then...

yes exactly

I was thinking about plugging in the 9v that we use for our porsches to maintain some voltage before changing, rather than the Ford battery maintainer I had been using to keep the battery up. Is that good?

well after 16 years my optima 25 finally failed. I looked through the threads but did not see anything about maintaining the control unit memory while replacing. Do I need to plug a battery into the cigar lighter to maintain while changing?

I originally bought mine to drive, and ran up 10 thousand miles in no time. What happened, besides the doors, lack of luggage space, impossibility to park, lack of vision/not being able to see the four corners, wideness/ size of the car, is that the replacement parts evaporated and the cars...

those cars were so so so bad, why waste time, let the past be the past!!!!

the best thing about low mile cars is the lack of road exposure, (seat time wear on the interior and delicate floor padding, paint chips, tire wear, undercarriage exposure, element damage) the worst thing is that sitting is bad for a car (flat spotted tires, oil leaks to name two)

what a hero for taking the chance and just doing it. It was such a pleasant drive for me a couple of years ago driving across Germany on the autobahn Being able to travel at the speed at which one feels most comfortable is a relaxing joy. Of course here in the USA we have to deal with crap...

I was actually a bit disappointed after reading the book "go like hell" the story was too embellished, the acting mediocre, and although the racing scenes were really good, the actors were only characatures of the actual people involved so much so that I was laughing at Henry Ford, Lee Iacoccoa...

I would definitely try to convince the insurance company to fix it, even if you decide NOT to fix it and just pocket the money. The damaged car is worth MUCH More with a clean title rather than a salvage one

Crap! So sorry, but at least the cars are safe for their occupants. So many of these cars got totaled early on as the drivers did not realize how much power they had, took them out on cold tires and cold roads, gave them a bit of throttle and right around they went. I am on pins and needles...
