I did get a little history on the car. It spent most of its life in Virginia, then sold to Priority Ford dealership in Norfolk VA in Nov 2018, then to Manheim auction Mar 2019, where it was bought by a Canadian dealer at the auction and taken to Canada but the title is still a Virginia title...

I got excited once I saw the pictures with the McIntosh stereo present which made me think it might originally have been delivered to the US (Canadian cars did not get McIntosh) and then the gauges pretty much confirmed it.....pretty much. The dealer did confirm it was initially delivered to...

Thanks for that Kendall. I see exactly what you mean and a great teaching point for us noobies. Thank you.

Hi extrap, that's the vehicle I am referring to which I found on autotrader Canada. I agree that there may be an important story behind the repaint. Hoping someone knows the car. Thanks.

Anyone know the history of the Tungsten Ford GT for sale at the Daytona Auto Center in Woodbridge, Ontario, Canada. Talked to the owner of the dealership today who wasn't familiar with much of the history, didn't know how many options, how many prior owners, etc. He did mention that the...

New BaT Ford GT already up to 315K, wow

I recall someone from the thread musing that the subwoofer could be relocated but he wasn't sure if the parts (storage bin substituted in its place) were still available and I have read that some guys love the sound of the stereo with the subwoofer and others think it is only ok. Everyone is...

Thanks for your comment nota4re (Kendall, right?) and nice to meet you. As a noob to the site and searching for a car, I have noticed your thoughtful comments on the forum threads. I think you live right up the road from my brother who lives in Sylmar. Thanks for the heads up alexhay3 and in...

The cool thing for me with a Canadian car and the lack of radio is that it shows what the car interior looks like without the large subwoofer between the 2 seats. There is a little storage bin present for a couple of boxes of "smarties" (M and M knockoffs for the Canadians).

MichaelR, that's a great tip to expand the search to Canada. Thanks for that. Given that I'm from Toronto originally (been in the US the last 30 years), sad that i didn't even think of that. One of the cars is right up the street from my old house. Any Canadians know the differences from the...

Welcome, Fast CPA, to the forum. I agree that Tungsten and Silver are cool and welcome to the search with Dino and I. I was hoping the one on BaT would not bring that much money and I imagine all the dealers that currently are selling their cars adding tonight another 10-20,000 to the price...

Thanks guys for your insights. Graydon

Thanks guys. Reasonably fresh tires are a must and now a short shifter is a must. Sweet

Yes, thanks very much guys. Hey Dino, did you see that a Tungsten came up on eBay today being sold by Celebrity cars in Las Vegas. Free carfax at the Celebrity cars website shows what looks like 4 owners. I would prefer fewer number of owners. They want $319K, low mileage. Graydon

Newby here and really not too mechanically inclined, more of a driver (used to race cars..Porsche in PCA and spec miata in SCCA) so a lot of this is over my head. I understand pulley and tune on a supercharger which gets you about 100 extra horsepower after substituting a smaller pulley and...

extrap, I'll pm you with the stories

There's a white one at Galpin. I asked myself why do they want so much money for it. They did not even mention that the VIN shows it is the 7th production car for 2005. You would think they would make a big deal of that in the ad. Not even mentioned. Funny.

Thanks Guys, there are stories on the 2 Tungstens. The Ozark one is a very interesting story. Dinosgt and I have been comparing notes on what we have found. Some pretty funny stories. Thanks for the leads. I keep my eye on eBay, auto trader, cars, ford gt forum, the known dealerships that...

Thank you very much GT@50. It's hard to contain my excitement and I am looking forward to joining this community. Reading a lot of the posts by the members has been very instructive and helpful.

Thanks twobjshelbys. Bought my Porsche on BaT which seems to be doing well for Ford GT sellers.
