No. The yellow car is now red and is still in Ford's possession. That is an actual 35 mph car. This is a roller only.

Bought. It's changed hands a couple times over the years. This is gonna stay at Russ Milne.
 
Did the original plan call for a plenum door to house the wipers, ala '68-9 corvette?

Luckily Camilo is standing here. He says they discussed it, but they never even remotely attempted to engineer that as a legitimate solution.
 
I'm surprised they painted the yellow concept red. The yellow car was featured prominently everywhere.
 
They did a full circuit around the country in yellow, and then made another lap in Red since the car wasn't out yet and they needed to keep the crowds entertained.

This is like a little live Q&A. :lol

Does he blame the lawyers for the lack of the windshield washer refill door on the driver's fender of the production car?
 
The duel cap was deleted by John Coletti to save money, as it was not an engineering necessity.
 
Will this car be on display at the Ford GT Museum in Troy?
 
Did Camilo create the font?

The car is now on display at Russ Milne Ford's showroom. 24777 Hall Rd Macomb Mi 48042.
 
Wow! Very awesome.

He modified it. It's based on an existing easily recognizable font.
 
Dave,

I would love to have that full size model in my showroom if I still had a showroom. Question. Is it worth less than, about the same as, or more than an actual white low mile GT?
