    Camilo Pardo Art

    I got this large (approx. 7' x 3') work by Camilo Pardo when I bought my GTX1 #2 in 2008. I have no idea what it is. I reached out to Pardo by phone and email but have not gotten any responses. The surface appears to be canvas rather than paper, but I don't know if this is a lithograph or...

    BBS OPTIONAL WHEELS 2005-2006 FGT

    Selling a set of the optional BBS wheels with center and valve stem caps for the 2005-2006 Ford GT. Attached are photos front and back of each wheel (two fronts, then two rears). I did not bother with close ups because, if it wasn't for the imprint of weights on the backs, the wheels could...

    New GT website live, purchase process begins January 2016

    Another rumor, this one posted January 6, 2016 on www.gt40s.com. So, does anyone know of any outreach by Ford to FGT owners or anyone else yet? << ============ >> I understand original 05-06 GT owners were contacted and a process was offered. They are NOT being done via dealers and so far...

    New GT website live, purchase process begins January 2016

    This was posted December 31 on FerrariChat: "I'm getting an allocation for the ford gt. i hope to spec it over the next 1-2 months. cheers" So, what does this guy know that no one else (supposedly) does? Or maybe very deep pockets are that really matter?

    Rich and Denis will be bringing my GTX1 with them when they come in for Maryland VIII. They picked it up at Maryland VII, so it's been gone for one year! Count me in.

    GT Guy's coming to Maryland V

    I'm in for some work on my GTX1. I have a conflict on Friday March 23 with a Ferrari show in Richmond, so will need to work around that. I will get in touch with Rich and work a list up. A Cobra buddy who will be buying an FGT soon would like to come by so he can see some GTs in different...

    Billet Ford GT gas door with engraving now available

    Too late for GTX1 No. 2? Can I get that engraved on the cap instead of "Ford GT"?

    check out this 1965 Ford GT being sold by RM Auctions

    +1 and amen. That's why I sold my original GT40. For 30 minutes it was a wild thrill. After that, it was an ordeal. Once you've driven an original, you really appreciate our FGTs. Also, you have to admire the drivers who ran the GT40s flat f'n out for 3-4 hours at a clip (drivers did double...

    Hemmings March Issue 2011

    Thanks for posting the article. Brings back some nince memories to savor in the middle of the BLEAH!!! winter. Two small corrections to the text in the article, though: (1) my GTX1, although designated #2 by Genaddi, was actually the first one built. The SEMA show car, chassis, #1, came...

    Help with Top Options please

    I'm with Steve W. My GTX1 No. 2 has a hardtop supplied by Genaddi. It is quite functional, although not perfect. To say that any top supplied by Genaddi is "useless" is simply incorrect, given my personal experience with mine. I don't know how many GTX1 hardtops Genaddi built, but two of...

    Gear ratios

    Thanks, fellas, this is just the info I was looking for. Red Thunder (GTX1 No. 2) will be a bit conspicuous on the NJ Turnpike tomorrow on my way up from Maryland to GT Joey's shindig on Long Island. I didn't want to give the Mounties an easy opportunity to issue a speeding ticket by relying...

    Gear ratios

    I need to do a quickie rpm vs. speed cheat sheet to match the new 315/30-20 tires I put on SEMA (GTX1) rims. I know the final drive ratio in the transaxle is 3.36:1, and 5th gear is 0.77:1. I haven't been able to find the ratio for 4th gear, or 6th. Can anyone help? Thanks!

    Harry Baz--GTX Wheels

    Well, I don't know if it was the voodoo doll I bought from a shaman in Little Haiti, paying one of Dionne Warwick's Psychic Friends for a telephone reading and hex casting, or just dumb luck and maybe a bad conscience, but none other than Mr. Reliable, Harry Baz surfaced a few weeks ago! He...

    Ford GT40 in backyard

    I don't mean to hijack this thread, but have to respectfully disagree with Ralphie regarding the fate of Mk II GT40 No. 1047. To the best of my knowledge, it was not destroyed by the 1967 Le Mans crash. As late as 2007, I exchanged e-mail messages about it with GT40 historian Ronnie Spain...

    Ford GT40 in backyard

    The Mk II GT40 that Motor Classic has is chassis XGT-3. It was a team spare in 1966 and was never raced in period. It got a fair bit of use in vintage races and exhibitions before coming to Motor Classic a good few years ago. At the peak of the market, the asking price was around $3 million...
