Found the Ron Pratte charity car from B-J Scottsdale doing a poor job at blending in at the Shelby American Collection in Boulder CO...

So according to today's news Steve McQueen's Bullitt Mustang from the movie has been found in original condition in Mexico and is on it's way to a new owner in the US for a full restoration. IMO this car perfectly fits the profile for a car that shouldn't be restored, unless they imply to return...

Don't know who built this but it looked high quality and then there was this oddball hybrid thing...

I recall that the top speed of the McLaren F1 was higher than their race prepped Le Mans F1 car mainly because of active aero on the street car, and possibly the preferred gearing on the race car. Maybe that's not unusual for race-prepped super cars. What are the chances the same will be true of...

Happen to notice on a video of the blue NFGT in Europe, firstly how La Ferrari-esque the mirror-pods-on-a-stick look... and secondly how they disappear as you drive up the trailer ramps... So, seriously, should we expect them to be easily removable, or maybe motor driven retractable for...

I have to share a story about our son, Corey. He’s the youngest of our three kids. A big sports fan, my racquetball buddy, and a best friend. He is every parents dream kid: polite, respectful, warm hearted, funny, gregarious, etc. The “A” student college freshman that never got in trouble...

Have there been any rumors yet on the options? Besides colors, I'm thinking that the options list will be even shorter than the 0506: 1) wheels: either forged or C.F. 2) street version"R" package to include radio-delete, softer tires, CF wheels, stiffer suspension, A/C-delete That's it. No...

So it was new years day that my wife and I found ourselves arguing over whether to get a second GT. What’s odd is that she was the one wanting to get it, and I was the one trying to be logical and conservative. But as usual, she got her way (I may have caved in quicker than normal). So with the...

I'd like to find out how many GT's were built with the same options as mine, but the "Authenticity Certificate package" only lists the quantities of a single option per color and stripe. So for example in my case I see that there were 11 no stripe blue cars in 05' made with red calipers, but of...

Just thinking. Since the brakes in a normally aspirated car are typically assisted by an engine-vacuum energized diaphram, how are the brakes powered with our boosted motors? Is this typical with other positive pressure motor applications?

Does the electrical system see a higher current drain while in storage if the car is locked vs unlocked (are there theft deterrant systems while locked that draw more power)?

Happen to notice these two figures in the 2005 Workshop Manual. The first references the exhaust heat shield shown just in front of the muffler. Does anyone have one of these on their car? The second talks about the removable tailpipe tips. Never seen those either. I suppose these were early...

The new GT book (btw-great job to all involved) talks about the build history notebook that followed each car down the line. Surely someone around here has some inside connections at Ford to abscond those scanned copies. What a great piece of history to have. Anyone with the original hardcopy...

Were there any only-blue Heritage paint GT's made - no orange / no roundels?

Does anyone know of a source for salvage GT's, someone who's collecting wrecked cars for parting out? (No specific need yet - just hoping we'll have places to go as Ford sell out of the OEM parts)

I'm sure I'm not the only one who is immensely satisfied and impressed by the overall execution of the GT project, but at the same time feeling that a few short cuts or concessions (all for justifiable reasons I'm sure - $$$ or meeting production schedules) were taken that shouldn't have been...

Earlier this year I posted some info for clear splash shields for our cars to protect the paint just behind the tires. I now have just 4 sets left and I don't plan on fabricating more. If you're interested in more details, do a search on "clear fender guards", select "show posts". It'll be the...

I thought I'd show my solution to sharing garage space with bikes & GT's. Within hours of parking my car in the garage for the first time a couple of years ago I had my kids nearly scraping by with their bikes. Since I don't have the luxury of a private stall I figured damage was just a matter...

I'm going to do the axel bolt & washer changeout on my car and I had a few questions: Is access better from above or below? (I see Ford recommends a lift but it looks like it's better reached from above). If the job is accessible from above, can the wheels be left on and the car rolled to...

I live in the Denver area where we’ll have sand and junk on the roads for at least 6 months a year, even when they’re clear from ice and snow. I wanted fender protection better than the clear films could provide, but I didn’t want something too visible, or needing to modify the car for...
