Then rule out Singers too.

I haven’t decided which route I will take from WA yet. Are you all planning to go for Chip’s party the night before?

They have smaller displacement V8’s, so you have to rev them. OTOH, they have redlines of 9000 RPM, and peak torque is at 6000. HP is about the same as a 05-06 FGT, but much higher in the RPM range

PS?

The guy who os the Prez of the Puget Sound F Club chapter has a 458 with over 100,000 miles. Says it’s been very reliable.

^^ Same as Ed said. I don't think you can buy a hydraulic hose with a rating of less than 100psi, which is way more than needed for the return.

Anyone who does their own troubleshooting and doesn't already have one, needs this.

Tomcat: It ain't hard. Go to your auto parts store and get some hose rated for oil or hydraulic oil or power steering fluid (that's just hydraulic oil under a different name) that is the same diameter as the pipe and nipples. Replace the silicone hose with it. Done. It doesn't matter...

Christa is related to GT Venum on the Forum. I will have to search more deeply to find Christa's contact info, if I still have it, so reach out to GT Venum first.

Kendall, thanks very much for that info. Yes, the O-rings can't be unique to the GT, and we should be able to replace them easily. Likewise for the internals of the compressor. I think that also applies to the wearing parts of the PS pump, water pump, etc. Speaking of which, after 20 years...

Some years back, a lady named Christa was making custom seat covers for the 05-06 GTs. They are NLA. About the only thing I can suggest at this time is to watch eBay for a set of the original/optional canvas covers.

Well, the "long" part isn't west of the Rockies, it's the "flyover" parts east of the Rockies.

Submoose: You're in St. Louis, right? That's an easy 2 day trip each way. Just drive the damn thing! I've driven mine to every Rally in the last 10 years. Stop and get pictures of it in front of the Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, Shiprock, the San Juans, or Old Rt. 66 attractions, Cadillac...

I don't have a NFGT, but based on my experience chasing coolant leaks for 50+ years on many cars, I am nearly certain that you will find a streak of dried coolant from the leak somewhere, a dried whitish stain on the belly pan, or the cap on the coolant reservoir is not sealing and some of it is...

I'm looking forward to putting another 3000+ miles on it a month from now, driving to and from Rally XIV.

I'll take you with me the next time I go to a biker bar.

$16,000 for a 5-year warranty is pretty expensive, so that must account for it as a Ford GT. Be careful of aftermarket warranty companies. They frequently go tits-up when claims exceed reserves.

Ditto. I have 86Kmi on mine with only regular service. Two members here are past 140Kmi. The cars that get driven regularly have fewer problems than the ones that sit.
