GT general information


Thanks for posting this! I'm beginning my long, slow climb from being a GT Newb toward at least being able to talk intelligently about my latest passion/acquisition!

Well, on that accord......

Kingman

I posted this request this morning, was out all day, not only did you get the exact file I needed but many other, thank you very much. Not to seem ungrateful but was their also a TV show on the GT, not a "Car Crazy" or other show highlight but more a documentary on the entire project?

It was on the Discovery Channel and there was a DVD you could buy at the Discovery Store but I don't see it on there any more.
 
Thanks Kingman, those were all very good.

I too have only seen the two SAE papers in pdf format that you listed. For the others, which are all very good as far as technical documentation, I believe one has to purchase the "PT" document.
 
..............but was their also a TV show on the GT, not a "Car Crazy" or other show highlight but more a documentary on the entire project?

Yes there was. The History Channel/Discovery Channel had a show called, "Rebuilding a Race Car Legend/Ford GT 40". It was out on DVD, but I believe the stock has run dry. Excellent show.

Other channels produced "Great Cars, GT 40" and "Automobiles, The Ford GT-40" that were both on DVD. You can also find several segments on YouTube where 'Top Gear' produced several episodes that discussed the GT 40, the GT, and the GTX1 (Kip Ewing the designer frequents the Forum). YouTube also has segments from 'Fifth Gear' as well.

Sadly the discovery DVD is awesome, and long gone. There have been past posts, about correspondences go see if they would release it again, and it did not look good. Glad I was lucky enough get one back in the day.
 
I tried to upload the 30 second and 1 minute Superbowl Ford GT commercials, and also the Ford GT Screensaver, but this program wouldn't accept them. If you want them, PM me your e-mail address, and I'll send them to you.
 
On ebay you can find the Gt videos
 
Thank you very much for the documents, now I have to find the time to read them all.

Thanks again, Steve
