    Team Ford GT shirt, size XL

    I have a Team Ford GT blue and orange shirt I purchased here on the Forum a few years back. Its been worn once and laundered. Hung in the closet since. Since they do not come up for sale very often, figured someone would want it. I was obviously asking more than the current market will bear...

    Ford GT gone and new Z06 at home. Thanks Shelby!

    With a bit of a heavy heart, I decided to let my FGT go and move on. Sold the GT to Shelby (Elite Autos) and also bought a Z06 from him. The whole sequence went very smoothly. New Z06 is perfect and quite a car. Thanks Shelby once again for a great transaction. 3 cars now.... Thanks to...

    Jack stands with pucks?

    I bought the lifting pucks that fit the holes on the bottom of the GT. Trouble I have with them is that they are flat and smooth and the jack stands have a Y shape to them and do not engage the puck well at all. It would be far too easy for the puck to slide off the jack stand. Looking for...

    Great time at Keels and Wheels this weekend

    Had a great two days at the Keels and Wheels event this weekend. I was positioned next to Al Unser Jr and his Indy car so had an opportunity for some interesting conversation and a quick photo op of him with my GT.
