I've been watching these go on auction via eBay and they are selling for silly money! Ford GT Dealer Hardcover Book My UK dealer tells me he paid $100.00 US for his but lately they seem to be selling for $180.00+ :eek Does anyone have one? Did you pay for it or did the dealer give it to...

Glad to hear you're okay! When did this happen? And more importantly, what happened? :frown

Eagle-Westlake T1G - 1967 Belgian GP winner with Dan Gurney at the helm: -

Goodwood's Festival of Speed took place on the 7th, 8th and 9th of July this year and I attended today. By fluke and luck, I stumbled across Dan Gurney in a Ford original promotions car, made up to look like the winning car 2 from LeMans 1966. As I was taking pictures of the car, one of the...

The broker I'm using has an ex-Ford contact in the US, who has a link into all unsold cars at the dealers. He tells me blue is getting thin on the ground BUT that being said, he may have found another 'ideal' car. I'll have to wait until Monday/Tuesday to find out more! :thumbsup Even so, I...

Hi Mike, Only 28 'Official' GTs were brought into the UK via Ford and Roush. These cars were all pre-sold and I know of only one of the 28 cars that is back up for sale (a white with blue stripes). These cars were sold for £120,000 and the one that is back up for sale is listed at £165,000...

I know you weren't and that is why I said, "This is a general comment and not directed at anyone in particular but I’d ask people to remember that while this car may be old news to many of you, it’s new to me and access to both it, and information, is limited greatly by my geographic location"...

As I am based in the UK, I've run into a few issues with respect to sourcing my own GT. Thus far, this is what I have done: - I started by doing a Google search on Ford GTs and BIG US based Ford dealers (that is how I came across this site). I e-mailed 10-dealerships off the back of this...

Thanks Derry; it's good to know it's legitimate and not just waffle. This is definately a US car and is Midnight Blue with grey calipers (no stripes, no wheels and no MacIntosh)

I'm sorry but this is classic :biggrin :cheers Did you reverse over the ant hill and light up the rears? Revenge is a dish best served with big fat rubber :wink

My dealer has found me a car; however, the downside is that while it isn't built (build date is the last week of July) they are unable to change the specification. They say this is because the chassis/Vin number has been assigned. Does anyone know if this is true - is it written in stone? Or...

Jeff, that decision was made on Tuesday! :wink Thanks for your advice and to DBK for running such a helpful site, full of good information and great people! :cheers As for being a GT-head-virgin... I have a nice line creased under my hair line, on the top of my head, from my first meeting...

He's far better looking, much more charming and is far more stylish in his attire! :wink And yes, I did factor the negative JC-variable before choosing Midnight :ack

As always, excellent information from everyone! (I just find it a shame that DBS isn't here to tell me about some horrific accident, depreciation or aliens landing to abduct GT owners...! :wink ). The closest I have come to 550bhp is 528 in my E60 M5; however, it was filled with...

I'm happy to be the social leper that asks the saddo questions! :biggrin Glad to be of help :wink

I wasn't tryng to be vague.. I'm just worried about tempting fate, now that the dealer has to locate the right colour/options combination :biggrin I have decided that Midnight is the right choice! In an ideal world, with white stripes, light wheels and red calipers. I'm willing to forgoe...

Okay guys, just how much of a handful is the GT to drive? With no traction control and 550bhp, my guess would be that it's best to leave it in the garage on a wet day (which is fine); however, in dry, is it pretty well mannered? Do you have to push it to bite you, or is prone to slap you...

Have made a decision... and now the search begins to find 'the' car! :cheers Thanks for all the assistance

Thanks for the offer! :thumbsup Will let you know what happens after today :cheers

Guys, I really appreciate and respect all your opinions. This post was a fairly tongue-firmly-planted-in-cheek because colour is so subjective and also I'm sure most, if not all of you, agonised over what was the best option for your GT (so you could sympathise with the sleepless sentiment of...
