I'm working on purchasing a small number of high-quality, important American sports cars to hold for a long time. In addition to my GT I recently purchased a 1967 Corvette L71 427/435. This car was purchased with a lot of help from SBR from the Forum. It is a highly original car and I'm really...

I’m looking to purchase a 1967 Corvette Sting Ray Roadster L71 427/435HP that is located in Toronto but need to find a C2 expert to help me with valuing the car and finding someone to do an inspection. Is there a Forum member who knows these cars really well or can recommend someone who does...

I’m looking at buying an F-450 to pull a six horse trailer. My two daughters do the Hunter/Jumper thing and we travel, from our barn in the Boston area, to shows as near as an hour away and as far as Florida and Kentucky. We’re currently shipping commercially but I’m thinking of taking the...

Check out this digital picture rendering and digital video rendering of a GT 40. It's really cool... especially the video! Rob http://jalopnik.com/#!5790213/a-ford-gt40-render-so-beautiful-itll-make-you-dream-in-pixels

To All Boston Area GT Owners, I've been speaking with Roketman about the possibility of having the GT Guys visit the Boston area in the Spring of 2011 to spend a couple/few days servicing our cars. Ron has very kindly offered his garage, which has two lifts, as a place to have the work done...

Hello All: We’re building a house in Maine and I have to select some exterior hardware for the garage doors (handles, hinges etc.). The exterior fixtures on the house are mostly contemporary stainless steel pieces and I’m having a hard time finding similar handles for the garage doors. The...

Hello All: I know a guy at Restoration Hardware who is holding this charity auction for this Shelby EXP500 CSS "Black Hornet". The auction runs during December 2-12. Link to website is as follows...

Guys, My wife and I are in the process of building a house on the coast of Maine. I’m planning to store my GT at this location however I know nothing about storing cars close to salt water and I’m somewhat concerned that, given the salt content in the air, leaving my GT in the garage of this...

Hello All: During a recent servicing I asked the person doing the work to adjust the driver’s side headlight beam as it was aimed too low. When trying to adjust this headlight the person working on my car noticed that the illuminated round “ball” in my headlight was drooping and pointing down...

Hello All: I need advice/input. I received a call today from Shelby Automotive to inform me that my number has come-up and I’m good-to-go for a Super Snake. The cost is $28K after I’ve supplied a GT500. They haven’t capped the number of cars to be produced as yet. HP is 600 on coupe or vert...

Hello all: Last summer I had my car at the Nurburgring and I’ve finally gotten around to posting some pictures. They can be found at the following link: http://www.fordgtforum.com/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=77 They’re not the best pictures but I was understandably focused on...

I'm not a very good photographer but I seem to have gotten this one right. I was on a very small road in the Alps called the Col de L'Iseran. It's the highest paved road in the Alps and is closed due snow for all but about five months of the year. Click on the picture to make it as large as...

As a swan song to my eight years living in Europe I’ve been driving around Italy, France, Belgium and Germany with my GT over the past ten days visiting places I’ve always wanted to go (including driving on some great racetracks like Le Mans and the Nurburgring) and putting about 5K miles on the...

As I’ve mentioned in previous posts Roush have organized a trip to the July 8-9 Class Le Mans race that ten UK GT owners are attending (with cars). I received the information package in the mail yesterday and was very pleased to read this… “We are delighted to let you know that prior to the...

I washed my car today and found my first “door ding”. I have no idea where/how it happened as I’m unbelievably careful about where I park… but there it was. No paint damage just a medium sized dent. Does anyone know if the art of “pulling out” dents in car exteriors has been perfected and, if...

As I’m sure is the case with everyone who has a GT, I’m constantly asked how I like the car and how fast it is. I usually say I love the car and something like “it’s by far the fastest car I’ve ever driven”. I do however find it very difficult to put into words how fast my GT is unless I take...

My car (red #872) is one of the European cars and it was delivered with a trickle charger to keep the battery charged when the car is not in use. The trickle charger is not working as the battery goes flat if I don't drive the car for a few weeks (I know, I know, I should just drive it more...

I've just joined this forum and have on of the 28 GTs delivered in the UK (red, white stripes). I was hoping to get a digital copy of the BBC Top Gear GT television review Jeremy Clarkson did in late 2003. It's awsome and I've heard it was posted on this forum somewhere but I can't find it...
