    Bring a trailer?

    I've both bought and sold cars through their auctions (nothing expensive, though), and recommend them highly. https://bringatrailer.com/member/paul_allen/ They have a system that seems to work well, and yes, there is a delay in your listing going live. They don't accept all cars, and only do a...

    Dead battery

    You're in the 2005-2006 forum. If you're asking about the new, i.e., V6-powered, GT, here's a thread about the main battery in the new GT forum- not sure if that will be helpful or not. https://www.fordgtforum.com/forums/threads/2020-ford-gt-battery-dead-help.37326/

    center lock wheels for the new GT

    Since I am from the school they tore down to build the old school, I think they look great. And don't forget, Formula 1 cars still have wheels that look like that!

    center lock wheels for the new GT

    It’s episode 2. Interesting that the outer part of the wheel is painted glossy black to look like it’s part of the tire. This gives the illusion of smaller diameter wheels, more like original GT-40, etc. Here are a few screenshots. .

    What would you be looking to buy next?

    One of my favorites, too. I had that exact same car, bought it new, then I put on a Callaway turbo kit. What a fun sleeper. Wish I had bid on the nice silver NSX that sold on BaT a couple months ago. So I guess I'm kinda looking for that car's twin...

    The latest FGT being auctioned on BaT

    Not that surprising with over 4000 cars made, all now 15 years old, and with selling prices up. Also, "normal" auctions are less of an option for sellers this year, and I think both buyers and sellers are realizing that BaT is a more efficient marketplace anyway, with GT sellers paying $99 and...

    '05/06 front BBS wheel

    Photo #51 shows some paint chips on the very outer edge of the wheel. Looks more like they were made during tire mounting rather than a curb. ...

    Canada Tungsten car in Woodbridge, Ontario

    Just fyi, I have owned two GTs, and have been following these cars and their selling prices since they day they were announced (actually back in the day I had a website, fordgtprices.com), and I can say definitively that there is absolutely no correlation between the number of options and the...

    Canada Tungsten car in Woodbridge, Ontario

    There were 541 Tungsten GTs made. The ONLY reason to buy a repainted one would be to save a LOT of money.

    Floor Mats

    I bought "select touring" carpet mats in black for $100 from these guys, but haven't put them in the car yet. . https://www.ebay.com/itm/2pc-Front-Custom-Fit-Carpet-Floor-Mats-For-2005-2006-Ford-GT/382379905590 .

    You race experts, I need help with Formula 1

    Historically that happens a lot, starting with Fangio. When the best guy gets the right ride, he wins a lot. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Formula_One_World_Drivers%27_Champions

    You race experts, I need help with Formula 1

    Well, the car is good, but Mr. Hamilton is also very good, certainly one of the all-time best. McLaren actually signed a development deal with him when he was 13. https://www.gpfans.com/en/articles/1039/20-years-ago-mclaren-sign-confident-13-year-old-named-lewis-hamilton/

    Updates on your 2005-2006 Ford GT, What have you done lately?

    When you have a 3-car garage that's 20x28 (that's not a typo), literally every inch counts. Standard 12 to 14 inch deep shelves on that wall would have made it impossible to walk by the GT on that side. So I found a place that makes 8" deep wood shelving in custom sizes. Don't be mislead by the...

    Updates on your 2005-2006 Ford GT, What have you done lately?

    I have a lot of issues, but being OCD isn't one of them. My tiny 3 car garage is finally pretty tidy, but the rest of my house might qualify for an episode of "Hoarders." Almost. The tips are pretty close- maybe they could go right 3/16 to be perfectly centered. .

    Wanted blem rear BBS wheel

    I assume you mean the optional BBS wheel, not the standard BBS wheel?
