Help a Newbie looking for a GT

Hello all!
After sitting on the sidelines way too long, I have finally decided to take the plunge and buy a Ford GT. I am really not set on one particular color. From what I can gather, the Gulf Edition is the most expensive and other colors seem to vary depending on how many were made. I think they look good in pretty much any color, but if I had to pick a couple favorites, I would say the Gulf blue & orange and the midnight blue. I may be barking up the wrong tree as I realize this is a discussion board for Ford GT owners, but if any of you guys are looking to sell your beloved GT, I am looking to purchase. Open on color and low miles would be nice but may consider a higher mile car if the price is attractive. Shoot me a PM or you may email me at franktomgt@yahoo.com

Thanks and hope to be joining the owners circle very soon!

Good luck! I looked for about a year...then got swept off my feet by a black one. They are out there. Be patient. And...check with Elite Autos on this forum. I have never dealt with them but MANY accolades from other members.

I also looked for over a year before finding what I wanted. Getting what you want may cost an extra 10-15k but in the scope of things it is a small percentage of total cost.
You will not regret your purchase.

All colors look great. Red is fast.

Fast is color blind.

Fast comes from driver skill and a pulley/tune, a bigger blower or turbos. :)

Think about this too. If you're just going to take a stock car and put pulley/tune, trans cooler, clear bra and window tint, etc. on the car, just get one that has those mods already done. As long as they were installed by a reputable person (most of them here) you can get them already done for about 1/2 the price as doing it on your own.

The general rule for mods is they get about 50% of original cost on a resale so you're ahead to get them already done if you like them or would do them yourself.

I went for a White with Blue stripes. She looks very very clean and she reflects the city lights perfectly in night time from her sexy shapes but now when I have seen OzGT's all black GT on the Top Gear episode I have to say in that color it looks very bad ass. But I have promised my self to never buy a black car again...

good luck on your search,

I too had to wait for a year and half to find the right car, but it will be worth it at the end.

I have a Midnight Blue GTX which I love but a friend of mine has a White with Blue stripes and I have to admit I think it is the best color out there
Good luck on your search

When I first started looking for a GT I was set on Blue or Black but then after looking for a bit I started to realize that the color is really not as important as I first had thought. The shape and style of the car is so perfect I realized I didnt care what color I got.

Good luck in your search, TP

BTW I ended up with a Tungsten

I too have been searching for a FGT for sale that fits my unique criteria and you have to act fast when the right car comes along. Like you I am not looking for a garage queen and higher miles does not bother me. I have had a couple slip by me. My impression is it takes a while to find the right car unless you want to pay top dollar to a dealer.

Frank Barba has his white/blue for sale. Look in the threads under Carlisle.
