    Updates on your 2005-2006 Ford GT, What have you done lately?

    Thanks for reminding me about the great old days! They never built any LHD GT40 racecars or Mark I road cars, but they did build LHD Mark III road cars. Of the seven Mark IIIs built, I believe there were 3 or 4 in LHD, including the first one built that I drove.

    That Camaro looks like the one that was built at Motion by a mechanic for himself, not one of the Baldwin-Motion Camaros that would have been built for a customer using a brand new Camaro from Baldwin Chevrolet. It's a beautiful car. While I bought my Iso Grifo while it was at Konner Chevrolet...

    I would have left it exactly as Ford built it. Spent many years modifying cars, IMHO this one didn't need any changes

    After approximately 12 years, I've just sold my Tungsten GT to a serious musclecar collector across the state from me in FL. Thanks to Shelby Smith @ Elite and Jason Heffner @ Heffner Performance, and all the GT-owning friends I've made, the experience surpassed the feelings I had when driving a...

    Sarasota Exotic Car Festival, 9/29/2018

    Should be a great show for a great cause. I've registered my GT also, we should put together a GT section for new & old FGTs. We had a great display at the Feb show for same charity at Lakewood Ranch.

    Roy Lunn, Godfather of the GT40, passes away

    Iconic engineer-designer (and my friend) Roy Lunn, Godfather of the Ford GT40 and the man who headed the teams responsible for the Mustang I, first unibody SUV, '83 Jeep Cherokee XJ and a portfolio of important vehicles, passed away at age 92. One of my fondest memories was when he asked if I...

    First U.S. Built Supercar? It's Not The NSX!

    The state of Ohio didn't make it up. Early Acura press releases cited that "alternative fact." Much of the NSX's engineering, development and design work started in Japan.

    First U.S. Built Supercar? It's Not The NSX!

    Since most of Forum members probably do not subscribe to Automotive News, thought I'd share this letter published in today's edition. Acura referenced its new NSX as the first Supercar built in the U.S. in its early press releases. The state of Ohio picked up that line and used it for its...

    Roy Lunn Inducted to Automotive Hall of Fame

    Absolutely correct. That's why I took Roy Lunn on as a pro-bono PR client to make sure the hobby, industry and racers were aware of what this man had accomplished. One of the reasons that I committed to the project was that so many people, including key people in Dearborn, had thought he had...
