    2015 Ford GT...Is this for real ?

    I'll be the first to admit that I hear these rumors and read even more but I know nothing of a new GT in the works. That being said, I have two GTs, a Raptor and I've had the new SHO. All these vehicles share the same bloodlines and were and are tops in their respective class. Ford should make a...

    Carroll Shelby on the 1967 Ford MkIV

    The Mighty GT I could watch that anytime. Never forget the mission of the GT. Win American style. Especially the mark IV. All American made, driven and managed. No apology tour for America in those days.

    Aston Martin - thought

    I bought my wife a new V8 vantage convertible. It has been trouble free, got me many needed husband points, has ford reliability built into it and it is a work of art inside and out. Kip is absolutely correct, not a real performance feel powerwise, especially compared to GT however a real treat...

    2006 Red 4 Option FGT originally sold in Maine....info needed?

    The only caveat I would add to the oasis has to do with the axle bolts back in the day. Both of my GTs were done under warranty and it sez something like" customer complains leaking oil and will not move" on the work order. That was not true and I suppose done to get warranty coverage at the...

    Engine Diagram

    Let me check when I get home. There is an SAE book put out on the car that has tons of engineering information and diagrams. It is the book that Fred Goodnow published his work for the society of engineers. KO

    Trickle Charger Question

    I have used multiple-bank battery tender with terminals directly to battery on both our cars since new. I have changed both batteries, last year in the 2005 and just this past weekend in the 2006(both at the 6 year mark when changed). The 2005 has had 3 gauges drop out the 2006 has had none. The...

    Road Trip

    Hey MJ. What do you mean about "wisecracks" of jap cars and european walkabouts? Wasn't I right? BTW Good thing your canadian buddy doesn't know what we do to most cannucks that come down here and park it in the left lane and go slow. Didn't you have to wash a few of them off your front grill?

    Road Trip

    MJ- Sorry missed you when you came through. Be careful in Canada. The French influence makes them very unsophisticated when it comes to anything faster than 35MPH and any horsepower above a moped. They are not near as swayve and deboner as we are here. KO

    Much has changed at FoMoCo

    p.s. MJ, I refuse to answer the how many Fords question. I look at it as my very small contribution to American manufacturing. Besides, you are in same tribe as Shellie and you will rat me out.

    Much has changed at FoMoCo

    Can you believe it? Patrick likes the VeeDub GTI and wants one for his first car!!! At least he is now interested in manual shift cars. I told him he will be taking his drivers test in the Orange and Blue car. If he wants to get a VeeDub GTI that is his to earn. Dad supplies Fords :)

    Much has changed at FoMoCo

    Six years ago I buy a couple of Ford GTs. Obviously very happy with the cars. We have to plead to get to go and watch the second one being built and that was in fact great. We get to see it at Saleen but not Wixom as my son was too young per factory rules. Ford sent me a couple of letters...
