I talked to GTJoey about his logo'd cap, and he told me to watch what I wish for since you have to remove the right front fender to make the swap! :eek
However since MarkO made his post about removing the fender I'm not nearly as intimidated. Doing that work would only take me and a tech two weeks and a 12 page thread! :lol
Having said that I would definitely like to have the logo'd cap, if anyone is taking orders!

This is a really great 'thread'...worth printing out and keeping in our GT files.
Jeff - thanks for your time and effort to tabulate all this.
Dave- thanks as always for the fine 'slice and dice' of the data.
Some info on the SONIC BLUE CAR - Chris ordered it special. Ford Management decided it would not be proper for a Ford VP to have a personal benefit/ one of a kind GT on a program he was responsible for. He then had Saleen make a 'regular one' for him. I was working in WHQ at Ford in Dearborn and have photos of the Car in the WHQ lobby.
It was then decided to auction it off at the American Cancer Society 'Cattle Barrons Ball" (along with 2 special Harley Fat Boys etc all donated by Ford Motor Co. Greg Smith (Ford VP) and his wife Anne were the Master of Ceremonies for the event with many dealer and Ford VP's (Jim Padilla was there, bid on a Harley and won it) present. My wife Margaret and I attended since I was Global Purchasing Executive Director at the time. We did not yet have our Midnight Blue Ford GT ordered and so Margaret took both of our Auction 'paddles' and told me she was going to bid on the Sonic Blue GT when it came on the block. I said 'go for it'. She was willing to go up to $170K. But when the bidding OPENED, the first BID was $225,000!! Needless to say she was distraught...but reality set in when the car finally went for about $350,000 if I recall correctly.
Does anyone know where the car currently resides?

Sonic Blue GT
Jon Shirley has a Sonic Blue FGT 2005 FGT.
Kept in his Bellevue, Washington garage collection. Another oh my gawd place to see.
Purchased at the B-J auction in Florida (I beleive) in early 2005.
A large donation to the Women's cancer fund. And thus became the owner of the very first privately owned Ford GT.
Any color that he wanted. And he choose Sonic Blue.

Mr. Jeff,
Mr. Shirley did pay the princely sum of $557,000 for the rights to his GT, but it was Midnight Blue, not Sonic. There was only the one Sonic.

I was lucky enough to work on car number 0004 and that was the first thing I noticed was that Ford GT gas cap. It's a nice detail to have on the car. Looks really good.
Would you know how many 06's mid blu, all options, with grey calipers? i sure would appreciate it! thanks for the info and your time...
Red is the sharpest and fastest color. Thats all I have to say about that.
I'll admit I'm just a tiny bit biased!

Thanks a ton for the information. Is there a way to tell about top stripe delete? I did not see that mentioned in the document.
Regards,
