Several Forum members have asked me if I would post some photos from a 2,000 mile driving tour that the owners of four original Shelby Cobras set out on through the stunningly beautiful state of Alaska last month (July 2018). Those on the tour included Tom Cotter (NC) and his son, Brian (GA)...

All that I can say, Ed, is: "Wow, what a State!!!" And I had been there before, too. This trip, however, was far superior my previous visit! Everyone had told us that we would ruin our Cobras on Alaska's lousy roads, that it rains all of the time in Alaska, and that we should take loads of...

White Aventador with a black top and red accents... now, that sure will be hard to spot! Lol! Hopefully, I will see you there. I will be the guy in the black Cobra with the Last Frontier Alaska Cobra Tour roundels on the doors, or a white 2018 F-250 Crew; depending upon the parking situation.

Yes, Tom was on the tour. You may have heard that his Cobra was infamously "attacked" by a grizzly bear. The Associated Press picked-up the story...

Ha, Sinovac, you and Jay Leno both agree that Dave Wagner's Kirkham Cobras are the best -- Jay drives one and LOVES it! Not to hijack the thread, but you should see Dave's restorations of original Cobras! As this is The Ford GT Forum, and not a Cobra forum, if you send me a PM, I will get you...

Thanks, Awsum GT. I will definitely be applying for a year 4 GT. This time, however, I am going to play it smart... I will not get my hopes up! You are from Carmel? I assume that you are going to car week. I am here already... I simply dropped down from Alaska with my Cobra. I spend most...

Amazing generosity! I don't have a new Ford GT... I applied for one but, despite being a lifelong die-hard Ford guy, I did not make the cut. I have read quite a lot about folks doing some really cool things with their new Ford GTs. There is one owner of a new Ford GT, however, whose...

I am 61 years-old. One of the toughest lessons that I have learned during my life is what a truly rare commodity integrity happens to be. When you do come across someone with unimpeachable integrity, however, it shines like a 100 million candlepower! Ford did an admirable job of striving to...

Wonderful quote! Just as Washington cautioned Howe that things may not be what they seem, this could be the very same case here with the consignment of this GT.... This GT might very well sell today, but this smells like a Dana publicity stunt to me. Think about it. Dana gets a friend to...

I have used Hagerty for years. Their rates are very good and, in my opinion, their customer service is second to none. They insure all of my cars including '06 #1722, several original Cobras/Shelbys, and a bunch of other stuff. They understand my cars and they can speak intelligently about...

Thanks for the responses. My compressor went out about five years ago. I asked the dealer to get me a rebuild kit, but they said that no such thing was available. I reluctantly bought a new replacement... can't recall what it cost, but it was somewhere near $1,000. I have the old compressor...

Has anyone found a source for the "O" rings, gaskets, etc. necessary to rebuild the '05-'06 A/C compressor? As I believe has been stated previously, no rebuild kit is available from FoMoCo. Thanks.

Given that my app was rejected, I can only hope so!!!! Although it really isn't rational on my part, it would make me feel better!

Agreed, but I am not an attorney, nor have I seen the contract, so I can merely state an uninformed opinion. Cena's car is not the first GT to be flipped... it's just that it has happened quietly and outside of the media glare previously.

Cena, in my very humble opinion, was wrong to sell the car. He is, however, a public figure who is hoping that his show will be picked-up for another season. It isn't too much of a stretch to assume that he was looking to generate some publicity. Mission accomplished. Ford pursued the new GT...

Coolant will etch unfinished metals... it's especially tough on aluminum.

The application submission confirmation email states: "Applicants will be notified of their status within 90 days of the application window closing." I have to believe that this means that Ford will be communicating with all applicants... be it good news, or bad news. Ford is a class act; I...

Apparently, some performance dealerships (60 of them, I believe) have been notified that they are getting allocations. Perhaps this is where the rumor is coming from???

For anyone in Delaware, Porter Ford in Newark, DE preformed the recall on my driver's side yesterday. Took all of 20 minutes, including paperwork. The Tech's name is Luis... he has done some other basic stuff on my GT. Luis is quite knowledgeable about the FGT. Everyone at Porter is always...
