With another Le Mans & Ford victory behind us, wanted to share this about the man responsible for the cars that won Le Mans in 1966-1969, Roy Lunn. On July 21, he will be inducted into the Automotive Hall of Fame, Dearborn, MI. I just came back from the AHOF and taping of interview about Lunn...

That wasn't the issue with the EPA that I was talking about. The last time I looked, new car manufacturers were not having any problems building and selling mega-horsepower cars: Camaro, Mustang, Challenger, Charger, Corvette, Viper, the upcoming Ford GT, Lambo, Ferrari, McLaren. For all their...

It's not up Hillary's alley and it's also not happening! EPA revised language of the press release/announcement and all is good. We can sleep tonight now that the government isn't sneaking into our garages at night, checking emissions and possibly confiscating our rides. Or putting speed shops...

Here's another "blue water" shot with my Tungsten GT on Sarasota Bay, FL. Ford GTs look great with any background!

Roy Lunn Lunch Tribute lunch for Roy Lunn & GT40, included a Show Of Ford with nine Ford GTs including CP4, nine Cobras including an AC-built aluminum FIA model. At almost 91, Mr. Lunn has started work on his fourth book dealing with the environment, sustainability, future cars, etc. I've had...

Mose is a great guy who spent a lot of time with me on the phone when I was writing my new book, FORD TOTAL PERFORMANCE. Photo attached: Edsel Ford II presented the prestigious Spirit of Ford Award to race engine engineer, Mose Nowland, left, with his wife, Marcia, at a special event at the...

I have no "skin" in the auction game and have no interest in selling my FGT, but my opinion is that prices/values of 2005-2006 FGTs will probably rise when the 2017 model hits the market. I think we start to lose track of the historical significance of the original FGTs, that the new car will...

Beach-GT, drop me a note - MLSchorr@Verizon.Net - and I'll get back to you. Let me know how many people and I'll reserve accordingly. Don't have all details at this time but will send when I do. Marty

Paul: A separate invitation went out to you earlier. When you get it simply respond and will send all details as soon as I have. let me know if you will be reserving one or two seats. Thanks, Marty

On Saturday, December 19, we will have a car-guy lunch for Ford GT owners and a small Show Of Fords at the Lakewood Ranch Country Club, Sarasota, FL. I'm working with Xcentric Gary on this program and we will have Roy Lunn, Godfather of the GT40 and the Mustang 1 Concept with us. Next year Roy...

I use CTEK chargers for my C6 Corvette with plug-in lead permanently installed under the hood and same model with cig lighter plug for the GT. Both chargers work with traditional batteries as well as Optima-type. They work well.

Thanks for the nice words, and thanks for shooting some photos for me for the book. Your photo of me with my GT made me look good which is no easy job. It's on the book cover flap. Book took over a year to write and, unlike so many "coffee-table" car books, it's much more than a lot of great...

Thanks, marty

No, that comes next month when I start "thumping" my new book, FORD TOTAL PERFORMANCE, with a publication date of Oct 30! It's on Amazon now for pre-ordering and, while I may be a little prejudiced, it is a helluva good read plus lots of nice period photography. It starts with Model A & T...

I may be a little late to the party and this is old news, but just got a copy of a great reference book for Ford GT and GT40 enthusiasts, owners, etc. It's THE FORD GT, published in 2004 by the Society Of Automotive Engineers (SAE), on the development and build of the original GT40s and the Ford...

Had a real thrill today, visited GT40 Godfather Roy Lunn with Xcentric for a photo shoot at his home. I've taken Roy on as a client and will be working with him and his family to preserve his archives for the future. He's had incredible careers at Ford, doing the Mustang 1 Concept, all the...

Hands-down, best enthusiast car forum on the Internet. Congrats, marty
