SVT Owners Association Announces Publication of
Ford GT - The Complete Owners Experience
Ford GT supercar the first subject in a series of specialty publications

Montoursville, Pennsylvania — April 6, 2011 — The SVT Owners Association (SVTOA) today announced the publication of the first in a series of books focused on vehicles engineered by Ford’s Special Vehicle Team (SVT). "Ford GT - The Complete Owners Experience" will be available in May, 2011 via the SVTOA’s online store (SVTOAstore.com). Preorders are now being accepted for May delivery at SVTOAstore.com.

About the Ford GT
The story of the 2005-2006 Ford GT has deep roots in Ford Motor Company racing history. Heralded as “Pace Car for an Entire Company,” the Ford GT took center stage during Ford Motor Company’s 100th Anniversary Celebration in 2003, and won the hearts of the automotive public. Ford delivered just over 4,000 Ford GTs to the public throughout the two-year production run, and the enthusiasm for this American-grown supercar continues years after production ceased.

Ford GT - The Complete Owners Experience


SVTOA tells the Ford GT story not only from an engineering and logistical perspective, but also from the point of view of the owners, whose connection to these cars is the true measure of success for Ford Motor Company.

Hey, who's is that stunning GT is that on the cover. Couldn't have selected a better choice, thank you Marcie.

And NJGT and I had the opportunity to sit down and review the book Sunday before it went to press. It is one of the most impressive GT books I have ever read and I think everyone will be very impressed. When you guys read the book you'll be able to appreciate the countless hours of hard work that went into its preparation.

Including a few surprises which I think nobody will expect. I want 50 copies. Best of luck to you Joey and Marcie and Paul Kane well done ! :thumbsup
