Hey there all. Just wanted to introduce myself to the forum as an aspiring owner of one of these beautiful machines. I have been chatting with Pro (Superfly) who pointed me in this direction and has already given me a wealth of information.
I've always been in awe of these cars since I saw my first one in 2006 back when I lived in New York. Owner may be an member here?? but I unfortunately don't remember his name. Price of admission was too much for me to even consider back then when I was just out of my training and just glad to be making above minimum wage. Then Jeff B and his father (I'm guessing also members here?) were gracious enough to take me for a ride in their Superformance GT40 and gorgeous white/blue stripe GT about 4 years ago when I was living in Phoenix. Aside from whacking my head on the door/roof, it was a great experience:facepalm:
Fast forward to today and a few cars later, I currently own a modified Porsche 997 turbo that I have loved for every second of the last 4 years I have owned it. Never thought I'd want to sell it, but alas, the time has come and have put it up for sale.
So, what to get next? My mind of course came back to the GT. Once the Porsche goes, I'll be in a good position to buy up one to my liking. Have been in brief contact with Marv from fordgtforsale.com who I didn't realize until recently is local to me. I'm hoping he can work some magic and find the car of my dreams (for a good price, of course
) Was also told that there is a fair number of owners in the Fresno area??
Details on what I hope to find: 1) red, 2) Heritage, 3) centennial white. Pristine, no stories (accidents, paintwork, etc. NO SALVAGE), unmodified. Still undecided on the options. BBS lightweight wheels and stripes are a must, caliper paint depends on the car color, McIntosh not a deal breaker either way. Sub 20K miles, obviously lower the better as long as it fits in my price range. Aside from maybe an exhaust in the future, this car will remain stock. My days of modifying cars are over.
Strangely enough, I've never owned an American car. But I also have a 2013 SVT Raptor Supercrew due to arrive in October/November. If my GT search is successful, 2 of my 3 cars will be American muscle
Anyway, will be lurking for a long while, reading up on past threads, until I can hopefully find the right car. Then I hope to be a useful contributor. I'm a man possessed/obsessed. I must have one.
