    Stradman buys a 2005 GT in Hawaii

    Couldn't agree more. Many don't know jack about driving and just ride coat tails kissing ass to get close to these hypercars then they review them like experts. Demuro is different. His mannerisms are irritating to watch for me and he could use a voice-over, but he does know his stuff more than...

    Looking for higher mileage '05-06 -- Black

    Haven't been on this forum in sometime. No time. You're right on both accounts. I'm a doctor, so yes the GT is on the back burner and shelved for now. Also will watch the market when the time presents.

    looking for a 05/06 gt

    Yep. That's why the bid of $245K at the opening of the auction is so fishy. That and the pic where the finger is pointing to that tiny scratch that they claim is all that occurred in a rear-end collision that a police report was filed for. This just makes no sense. There is still over a week...

    looking for a 05/06 gt

    Called and spoke to family of owner. Something is fishy. If look at pics, shows a tiny scratch on the bumper. Tiny. Well they are claiming that the car was rear ended (has a police report and also CarFax report of accident) and all that resulted from the collision was this tiny scratch. This is...

    Paint "Respray" effect on value?

    I have talked to the owner. He is a nice guy and put me in touch with the paint shop. The paint shop was great. They have a long relationship with the first owner (the car is now in the hands of a dealer) and verified what the first owner told me about him driving it hard. The first owner really...

    Paint "Respray" effect on value?

    I realize that a clean CarFax means nothing. A scar on the CarFax does. I have spoken extensively with the owner that sold it to this dealeship and trust him. He provided detailed info on the paint, etc. Had paint meter done, but not proceeding to put further time or $ into a PPI if dealer not...

    Paint "Respray" effect on value?

    Made an offer on a GT at a dealership. Tracked down the original owner and learned the car has had a respray of the front, fenders, and doors (car is higher mileage and had rock chips, peppering, and the like, it was used hard like intended). The dealer did not disclose the information. I made...

    Rear Exit Headers---"NOT STREET LEGAL!"---?

    Thank you for the feedback. Thinking this is probably louder than I want on the GT. This is going to be a driver for me and the wife for some trips over the mountains, etc. Need to be able to have conversation, etc. Have other loud cars that are fun for a quick jaunt, but after that, it gets...

    Rear Exit Headers---"NOT STREET LEGAL!"---?

    Have GT I'm pursuing. The paperwork has a receipt for installation of Rear Exit Headers (I would upload pic, but not sure how to) M-9430-GTX and it says in bold on the invoice from Ford "OFF-ROAD ONLY! NOT STREET LEGAL!" (exclamation marks and all) Anyways, are these just way loud? Unbearable...

    Public service announcement: List of Ford GTs at upcoming auctions (with links)

    I think how much the seller netted is the most important and interesting number. Maybe I'm wrong, but this seems like a number to considering private transactions. I do agree that "An auction like Barret Jackson, a market does not make".....Yoda [or baby yoda]

    Public service announcement: List of Ford GTs at upcoming auctions (with links)

    Nice spread sheet! Could be interesting to add in the auction house's "estimate" to see how many fall within, below, or above.
