    Any one very close to Lake Orion MI?

    If any one is close, I was going to ask if anyone could do a walk around a car I am looking at this week end. It is nothing real exciting, but still want eyes on it before I decide. If any one is close and willing, let me know. Thanks

    GT350 clone

    My GT350 Clone that I've had for 21 years. It had the Cragar Shelby wheels and it needed new tires so I decided to try a different look. I went with the Torque Thrust D's and then I threw on some vintage static cling racing stickers. It is fun and gets a ton of looks with the full "race" look...

    New RC Model at Costco

    Just an FYI in case any one cares, I was just in Costco today and they have a new large RC model of a Ford GT. This is at a Costco near the Twin Cities in MN. I would have bought one in a heart beat, but the only color they had was a goofy lime green. It is a fairly large and well detailed...

    New Stable Mate for the GT

    Was not driving the 2011 GT500 enough so traded it on this... Found a 2005 DB9 Volante with 3500 miles on it. 450 HP, 12 cylinders, paddle shifters, so far, I love this car. Figured living in FL, convertible makes sense. Love the active exhaust, more you romp on it, the louder it gets...

Not the garage Ma-hall, but it makes me happy.The 67 Mustang in the mural is my first car I ever bought when I was in high school. Car was six years old back then with 390 4spd, red interior. 69...

    Battery

    Any one had any luck matching up another battery other than the Optima or the Odyssey? Some one said the Odyssey part # is 25PC1400, but the Odyssey dealer here came up with an "A" or a "T" on the end of this part #, plus they were close to $300. Any one get the part # for the Sears Die Hard...

    3M Clear Protector cautionary tale

    I know some of you have used this on your cars and it seems to work well against minor chips. What I didn't know is this stuff has about a four year useful life before it must be pulled off and reapplied. I have a motorhome that has this product in the front. In the fifth year I noticed...

    Beautiful Noises

    One of my friends emailed this to me today, one of the coolest ads I've ever seen. Only thing that would have completed it would be to have Ford GT's in it too. Ferrari pulled several of their race-cars from various ages out of storage, flew them around the world, and filmed them running...

    Ford GT90 Concept car

    Looks like RM auctions is auctioning the Ford GT concept car from mid 90's. Comes up under news when getting Ford stock quote. Tried to paste link but it didn't work. This car looks way ahead of it's time. Top speed in the 250's, faster than a Mclaren F1. Somebody on this Forum must need...

    Example of why this forum is so great...

    The people you meet. About eight months ago I met Sinovac (Paul) through this forum. Turns out he lived ten minutes from my house. Last week Paul invited me over to his new garage/workshop to change my oil. He had done his twice, knew what he is doing, and has a commercial four post lift...

    Paging Mr. Cantwell

    Tim, Are you the four GT owner who scooped up the Pardo/Heffner GT? If you are, hats off to you for an awesome acquisition! That car is stunning. I noticed in your sig. that you sold the no stripe blue and wondered if the red GT took its place. Inquiring minds want to know. Don't know you...

    Black no top stripe, Clearwater Beach?

    I was out riding my bicycle about 5:15 PM over the Sand Key bridge to Clearwater Beach and a black no top stripe came over the bridge. It had side stripes. Wondered if it was anyone on the forum? On my way back home around 6:00 PM the GT was coming back toward Clearwater Beach on Sand Key. Rick

    Another Happy Heffner customer.

    I had the pleasure of spending a good part of yesterday over at Heffner's. Left my house at 6:45 AM and arrived at Jason's at 8:00. Traffic wasn't too bad, and taking the GT over the Sunshine Skyway bridge was a lot of fun. They were ready for me and the car was started on about 8:15. I had...

    Drivers side Cat went bad...

    My engine light came on and I brought my car in to have it checked. Used the same tech who changed my axle bolts, and he seems good. He was able to tell with his laptop plugged in that the #2 bank cat is not functioning. Car has 1500 miles on it. The price on one cat from Ford is $1500, so...

    Mark lV Red clearcoat ?

    Had a dealer look up my paint code to order some touch up paint, and the parts guy said the color keeps coming up as Colorado red. I've never heard of this one before. Didn't order it yet. Anyone else know if this is correct paint for the red cars? Parts guy was aware it is for a Ford GT...

    Half shafts done, thumbs up Countryside Ford

    Took my car in today for the half shaft bolt and washer recall. Had a very good experience with Countryside Ford (formerly Freedom Ford) near Clearwater, Florida. The service writer Jeremy was great, except I had to bring the car in to start a service ticket before they would order parts. Oh...

    Cars & Coffee, Tampa Bay area

    Tampa Bay GT folks, anyone going to cars and coffee at Dupont on Saturday? It is 7:00 am to 9:00 am tomorrow at Dupont headquarters off of Ulmerton and 34th St. Weather looks iffy, if rainy I'm out. Rick

    Went to Dupont Cars & Coffee today

    Every third Saturday the Dupont Registry sponsors cars & coffee over at his offices and car musuem in St. Petersburg. I met Tom Dupont last week, and he told me to bring the GT over. It goes from 7:00 am to 9:00 am. A little early for a Saturday, but I made it over about 8:15. I had the only...

    A/C question

    I noticed when I have the air on in the car there is a click noise coming from the dash area. The click happens about every six or seven seconds. Sounds like a solenoid clicking. When the air is switced off, no more clicking. It does not seem related to the compressor, as I can hear when...
