    FORD GT in the movies

    We thought it was a great flick. Not comprable to the TV series either up or down and since that only lasted less than a season not much to compare to. The Orange and blue is a GT40 replica unlike the real Heritage Ford Gt in "night at the museum". The Black Beauty gets plenty of air time and...

    Vin. Number and Location

    Other than the rear frame support driver's side the vin is also cut into the frame/support on passenger front only visible with fender off. As noted vin is on stickers multiple other spots and engraved on engine and trans that I know of.

    7th Annual Cars For The Cure registration OPEN

    I have been to this show multiple times and it is very well done. It would be nice to get some GTs together for this from the Central Florida folks. PM me if you think you can make it and I will see about getting our own row. Thanks KO

    First Retail Order GT for sale

    I stand corrected on the microsoft part. I always think of that car as being white since the auction picture shows a white "exemplar" car being auctioned off by Jay Leno. As to what difference it makes owning number this or that, that is just a function of the market for cars and not the true...

    First Retail Order GT for sale

    This is the Microsoft car I believe. Sold at auction with Jay Leno who later got the #12 VIN car. It is in one of the GT books. Think it sold for 557,000 or thereabouts.

    Top Gear on 60 Minutes

    Other than momentarily having the Ford GT on the "uncool cars" board a few years back, Top Gear is the one show on TV worth watching. Even with their infrequent bashing on the US (they still don't realize we won centuries ago) still just a great show! I can now reveal that "I am the Stig"...

    Track / Driver Ed Insurance

    I checked with my carrier and they do not cover any driving events held at a track such as VIR, Sebring, wherever. I then looked into the track day insurance and you can get it for the event/day. I think it was around $1100 for a two day event. That coverage was only for the car and NOT for...

    Have you ever let some one else drive your GT

    Just my son in an empty parking lot. As far as I know youngest GT driver ever at 11. He did well. No stalls but stayed in first gear. Just like my grandpa let me do years ago except it was a 65 Fairlane but still a Ford. Oh also the Ford tech at dealership. Wife does not want to drive...

    Keep an eye out for the Aerial Atom at VIR

    For those of you fortunate enough to get to go to the Rally V, keep an eye out for the little Aerial atom made there at the VIR complex. In many ways they are like little GTs without a body to slow them down. Ya'll have fun.

    Track Insurance

    I agree and feel it is safer on the track than on the road but I have not been able to find any insurance that covers anything more than the car for track events. That excludes liability for injuries to others and even property damage to others. Many life insurance policies even have exclusion...

    Do You Remember Your First Drive?

    I love all the pictures My first ride was great. It took from 1966 to August 2005 to get delivery though. The longest wait I have ever had for a car. But I just love this picture of the blue car the most.

    You can order the window sticker You can order the window sticker in original form at the parts desk at your local FOMoCo dealer or you can get it online. A friend of mine sent me the link. Let me see if I can locate it and post it. Build info somehow tends to get lost in translation. On one...
