Well, today brings the close of an era. The last two loads of GT's going to Canada were shipped from Wixom this afternoon :usa . A few former Ford GT employees were on hand to see the last GT (VIN 2045) loaded on the Reliable truck. VIN 2045 was also the last vehicle to come off line on 09/23 so it was only fitting that it be the very last GT on the truck this afternoon. Be sure and check My Album of photos from this afternoon.

I am truley sad to see the end come to the production of such a remarkable machine.
However, I am happy to be one of those fortunate souls that has been able to have, admire, drive, and YES even LOVE the machine.
Thanks to all those at Ford Motor Company for making the DREAM a reality.

It finally came in Thursday afternoon. Problem is, I had to get my car out of Toronto, and I'm in Ottawa. :frown I'll be picking it up Monday or Tuesday.


Thanks again for the tip off on the shipping company (from your pics). It turned out to be a huge help!


I'll definitely be posting pics when I get it home!


:cheers

I for one am Glad GT production is over I would say maybe they built too many. The Beauty of the GT is it will never be dated as there will never be another one. The GT is one of the Most Exclusive Exotic/Muscle cars of all time because of its Limited Production.
