    New headlights for 2005/6MY Ford GT

    Sir, Ford has been VERY COMMITTED to these cars. LONG after their required time frame. There just some parts that are trickier than others, and headlights are one. Do keep in mind that MANY suppliers that made these parts are long out business not surviving the tough times of ~2008.

I have listened to searches that suggest this: "If you have a valid license from your home state, you can drive in European countries for up to 90 days without further documentation. However, once you have spent more than 90 days in Europe and wish...

    Gauges are going out - looking for recomendations

    The GT Guy (Rich Brooks) posted a while ago, he has a fix for the tach and speedo. Not sure on the progress of that project. I have had speedhuts for a long time now (~10 years?)

    Engine Cut Off

    And did you have the clam shell open? If so, wind direct into the airbox, can trip up the MAF. That is why the screens are in the clamshell, to relieve pressure, coming in the air vents.

    Bye bye side stripes

    Mine came off years ago (black no stripe car). This was of course only after having a new OEM set unrolled and stored flat (they came from ford rolled up in small boxes).

    Ford GT storage in non climate controlled garage

    Nope when below freezing, but sure is important for the other 3 seasons of the year. Our un heated building rarely goes below freezing, but I still leave it plugged in and running. It cycles as needed.

    Photos of the day we bought our Ford GT's.

    For the 05, I use the "power port" (cigarette lighter port). Hard to drive off with it in you lap. The 17, connects to the jump ports in the frunk, and I have not yet forgotten. Here is a thread about the magnetic connector...

    Photos of the day we bought our Ford GT's.

    Did I have a digital camera or film back in 2005? Humor intended, but does make you think about it.

    New home for Sonic Blue

    Only other paint deviation, was Neil Ressler's, which was midnight blue with silver (not white) stripes. He sold that car at Barrett Jackson ~2019 for $410k.

    New home for Sonic Blue

    So my memory, which could be flawed, the car was initially at a Toyota dealer, then owned by a group of NYC area GT owners. Was "for sale" for a long time, the ask was $1m. Those more in the know, can chime in, and correct me, if they choose. There are threads and comments here over the years.

    Mark IV

    I forget how WILD and DIFFERENT the MKIV really is, then see pix, again, and are quickly reminded. That aero, looks like the down force would pop the tires.... amazing
