Randy, Congratulations I love your story as it speaks for all our thoughts and feeling we have felt during our journey like yours. You put it in words like I could not have. Beautiful car and well worth the wait. Enjoy and remember your dreams can come true when it comes from the heart. Just stunning.
I really can't think of any other builder or manufacturer that has done this, and certainly not at such a deliberate and thoughtful level. It must have been a challenge to balance old and new, but they did it so well. The Ford GT is the kind of creation that you notice something new each time you look at it. I know that now, because I've had the luxury of looking at it quite a bit over the past two days. I think the Ford GT's are going to inspire a lot of design firsts, not only mechanically, but visually. I also suspect that it must be difficult to pull off, and there will be some unusual graphical designs.
The Ford Design Team has definitely raised the bar with the Heritage and Studio Design editions, which are going to be equally fun to watch debut.
Let me know when a SoCal Ford GT Forum gathering is possible (after paint cure and wrap, of course). There are plenty of us within about a 60-mile radius here. Let’s go suck up all the energy at one (or several) local Cars and Coffees!
Congrats on your faith and tenacity Randy. That’s the real magic here — the car is just the material reflection of it.
Randy, a huge congratulations on such a special car! I'm a Gulf Racing fan, (so much so I even got the Tag Heuer Formula 1 Gulf Racing edition for Christmas a few years ago from my wonderful wife), love the Gulf heritage editions, and those were my #1, but this heritage is the best so far!! Simply stunning with all the cool details (love the number under the spoiler). Enjoy driving and sharing it with everyone you can! I can't wait to see all the cool shots on your Instagram page in the future (I just followed you under my IG name, 05FordGT).
Now you gotta grab the #98 hat, #98 polo & #98 jacket on the Ford collections merchandise site.
