Well, after having sold my 2005 Black/Silver Stripe FGT 1.5 years ago and having regretted it ever since, I bit the bullet and bought another one from Shelby at Elite Autos LLC.
I bought a 1700 mile 2006 Red/White Stripe FGT with all 4 options. The car will have a few mods done prior to shipping to me, i.e., Ford Racing Pulley/Tune, FRPP Exhaust, new Bridgestone Scuderia tires, & Hot Buttons. She is MINTY MINT and I can't wait to drive her hard! Once I receive her, I will post some new pictures. These will have to work for now. It is good to be back!

Thank you everyone for the kind and welcoming words. I look forward to getting more involved with FGT events and owners. Las Vegas sounds great!
I should mention a special thank you to Shelby Smith at Elite Autos LLC for his special attention to every detail throughout this purchase. I have bought multiple cars through Shelby and there are never any surprises. He is the only one that I will buy from without a PPI. If he says it is so...it is so. A true gentleman with no BS, "old school" values. Thank you, Shelby!

Glad you smartened up! Now be sure not to sell this one! Welcome back! I am always amazed by the numbers of people who have sold and than re bought!

Yeah, I sold my first FGT to buy a Ferrari 458 Italia, but soon found that I really missed rowing through the gears. Now...I'm back:)

Thanks Rob..., glad you are back. We will get your mods completed this week and get her up to you ASAP. She is a beauty! I was considering keeping her to turn into one of my Rally cars for this year, but guess I will have to find another one... :)

Thank you, Shelby! I should have listened to you when you tried to talk me out of selling my first one! How many dealers would do that? Shelby is one in a million, for sure.
I can't wait to get behind the wheel of a Ford GT, once again! :)
