    2005-06 GT Take-off Parts -- ALL HAVE BEEN SOLD

    Hi MarkH, I received your message. Yes, I have the original Ford crate for the transaxle, and that can be easily used for shipping.

    Bye bye side stripes

    IMO: If you leave the side decals on, you'll have many questions being asked about "What's a GTX1?" If you take them off, you'll just get the usual "What kind of car is that?" I'm leaning toward leaving them on. It is an extremely unique car (on top of being an already very unique car) so...

    Bye bye side stripes

    I'm not second-guessing Camilo either, but what's interesting is that the pix of the Roketman's and Dreimer's red cars WITHOUT the side stripes made me say "Oh, I like that!" Then, the pix of the Dr914's red GT WITH the stripes made me say "Oh, I like that!" To my eye, it looks like the FORD...

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

    Thanks Marc, for the endorsement, and Mr Moderator for giving me photo-posting privileges. First pix is my original '06 at Willow Springs in about 2009. The other two pix are of my current '06. Purchased Jan 2024. Sold my low-mile Ferrari 812 Superfast to pay for it. (Gulp!) WORTH IT!

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

    I just received my '06 Tungsten about a month ago. The feeling of watching it being backed out of the 18-wheeler onto the hydraulic ramp (zero room for error) and be lowered to the ground, was equal parts cool and nerve-wracking. I have pix to post, but apparently I don't have that privilege...

    Hi, I'm interested in your: " Pair of Crow 6-point race harness sets with all hardware, clips, and harness bars to install, all new in box, never used $799." Just to confirm, this is for two sets of harnesses (driver and passenger.) What color? What style latch? Can you send me a photo, or...

    New GT Owner -- Second Time Around!

    I'm trying to figure out how to add photos, but (as I read on another recent thread) I don't yet have the icon that allows photos to be added, only URLs. (But, I was allowed to add my avatar photo, so ???) I guess I have to wait until the moderator sees that I'm a paid member, and then give...

    New GT Owner -- Second Time Around!

    I sold my '68 GT500KR fastback (aluminum 427 stroked to 468, 4-speed) about a year and half ago. I figured that would be a difficult car for my wife to get top dollar out of, so a preemptive strike by me would relieve her of that hassle. Sold it to a Ford collector in the midwest. Nice guy...

    New GT Owner -- Second Time Around!

    ^^ Thanks! I hope so too...!!! BTW: I just bought a pair of front compartment struts and a GT float charger from cooltech. The struts arrived yesterday, with a note that the $$ for the charger will be refunded. Do you know if those are backordered, or no longer available?

    New GT Owner -- Second Time Around!

    Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone. Car stories and photos to come in the near future. Twturbo, we already know each other from the SAAC Forum. I'm "Side-Oilers" on there. Figured I'd change it here, since it's not a Shelby site. I can't make it tomorrow, but hoping for a sunny day for...

    New GT Owner -- Second Time Around!

    Forgive me, fellow GT owners, for I have sinned. I underwent an excruciatingly-long and mentally-horrific 14 year time period when I did not own a Ford GT. Between 2009 and Dec 2023, I got distracted by several Porsches, Ferraris, Corvettes and a Lamborghini. That just compounded the sin...
