    Recent increase in value?

    Hello all, I was lucky enough to make a very good deal on a one owner 2300 mile car near the beginning of the pandemic. I left my alerts on any new FGT that come up for sale just because its interesting to me to see what comes up. Also after about a year of seriously looking, I guess I...

    Airbag recall question

    Thank you for the replies. After watching the video posted on the subject, it looks like an easy enough job. I would rather do it myself (if they would give me the bags) but if they are sending a guy to my house, that is very convenient. Especially if it is Rick, the mechanic that was...

    Airbag recall question

    I live in Tampa. They said there was a certified GT mechanic in Sarasota. I suppose I should confirm that.??

    Airbag recall question

    Sorry to beat a dead horse but I saw somewhere on the forum that some of the service techs didn't know how to properly change the bags in a FGT. I searched for that thread but couldn't find it. They REALLY want me to get those replaced even though that was done in 2007. I have gotten numerous...

    Bumper delete and X pipe wanted

    Before I put my order in for these items I was just checking to see if anyone has a bumper delete kite and/or X-pipe that perhaps you never got around to installing or you went back to stock and would sell. Long shot I am sure but you don't know if you don't ask! Thank you.

    Nice pics of my GT

    My son's buddy has a huge following on Instagram for his car photos. He asked if he could take some shots of my GT. He really did a good job and I thought I would share this one that I thought was very good.

    Stereo sounds mediocre at best

    Thanks for the responses! I have only tried the FM and not a CD. It is not static-y at all but just sounds kind of flat. I have tried adjusting but wanted to make sure that it was supposed to perform before I wasted too much time. Like I said it isn't super important to me. vin...

    Stereo sounds mediocre at best

    Hello All, Going on about 7 months since I "joined the club". I still can't believe there is a FGT in my garage! Anyway, it hasn't been very important to me but I started messing around with the stereo (Mcintosh option) and honestly my F150 sounds 10 times better. This car only has 2000...

    What to do with stock tires

    Thanks for the replies. Dang I wish I would have thought about smoking them off the rims before I swapped them. It was difficult to find a shop that could balance the rears close by so I won't be putting them back on the stock wheels. I need some cheapy rims to mount them on then I need a nice...

    What to do with stock tires

    Hello All, Going on about 6 months as a GT owner. Still get excited to see her in the garage everytime I come and go. Anyway, taking the advice of everyone I put new rubber on even though the original tires had only about 2000 miles on them. Now I have them stored and they are not really...

    Bridgestone Potenza replacement tire size for 05/06 FGT

    Wow! I ordered mine yesterday from Tire Rack and I got them this morning. I live in Tampa, not sure where they left from as I never got a chance to check the tracking. Looks like my rears were made in January of this year and fronts in mid July of 2019 so not too shabby. Now to get them...

    GT Guy (Rich Brooks) Still in Business ?

    I met Rich Brooks a few weeks ago when I flew to Detroit to check out a GT. I contacted him the night before I left to see if he could give me a last minute PPI since he lived fairly close to the area. He rearranged his schedule and met me early the next morning. I am very grateful as I am...

    Finally Pulled the trigger

    Gentlemen (and that one lady that owns a FGT), I am proud to say that I have officially joined the club. I could go into stories of missing out on the car of my dreams several times, including an auction about 10 years ago of a "pill mill" pharmacist that was in the pokey that had quite the...
