Interested in getting a FORD GT (>14K miles) and was wondering if anyone has experience with the maintenance associated with such a car.
44k +. Oil changes, leaky shock, tie rod ends, door seal, axle bolts, trans fluid changes, air filters, tires, brake pads & rotors, wiper blades.
Just your normal routine items. No squeaks, no rattles.
Just as much fun to drive now as when new.
This one says it all. Great story Rich.How about 70,000 miles? Our old shop car had been used for high mileage testing. 20 hours a day for months, at the hands of drivers who didn't care about it at all. (contract people)
When it was finally given to the shop as scrap, it had been through 3 wrecks, MANY tires, several clutches, and MUCH abuse. Several of us fixed the old girl up, added a prototype Borla muffler, and used it to give rides out back and around the plant. One employee did a big burn out, not knowing the plant manager was right behind him. Feces in the fan!! Another managed to take out 2nd gear. 30 days off with no pay.
With all the seat time I've had in GTs, I can honestly say that not one production car would touch the old girl.
Sadly, when the shop closed, it went on to the great race track in the sky. But not before our supervisor gave it one more good run.
R.I.P. Baby
normal tune up, oil change,tires,axel bolts,brake pads,trans fluid,wipers, front windshield, engine belt, coolant, normal service etc..... car runs forever...borla exhaust needed welding, head light bulbs,clutch removed and replaced
My 20-year high-school reunion is happening back in Denver this summer. Guess I know what I'm driving from L.A. back there to freak out the old buddies. :cheers
Jeff what happened to the tie rods?
