Congrats and all the best. Glad to see you chose the fastest color to match your GT's killer powertrain! Be careful out there, Marty

For all those planning on attending 24 Hours Of Le Mans next month, there will be seven real GT40 racecars running in the Legends race on Saturday, June 13. For more information, visit http://www.carguychronicles.com/2015/05/ford-gt40s-legends-of-le-mans.html

I run the Bridgestones on my GT at 30 psi all around. Ride seems best at that spec.

Always nice to see my old pix. That's actually Bill Kolb behind the wheel in those shots. He had the MK III at Gotham Ford in NYC and he and I spent a day driving it around NYC and to the outer boroughs. I'm still amazed that we didn't end up in jail that day! Could've bought it or a couple of...

WOW! Looks fantastic Gary!

The only eye-candy we allow in our group have two or four wheels! Marty

Great pix, Gary. Interesting to note that the red 2005 GT at the far end is Vin #....15, belongs to Jim Padilla, one of our Sarasota Cafe Racers who was President & COO of Ford during the GT program. He retired in 2006. We have 3 or 4 more in our group, but the Porsche & Ferrari guys are already...

Kick ass, Anders! Don't forget to get me a few hi-res images for my project. Marty

Here's some good info on the new Mercedes-AMG GT, http://www.carguychronicles.com/2014/09/mercedes-amg-gt-race-car-for-street.html

Ford actually had five GT40s, MK III & street model, for sale as a lot. Some had scratches, minor dents, flat tires, one had bent Borranis. They wanted to sell the lot and offered them to my friend Bill Kolb (who supplied the MK III for me to drive for cover story in Hi-Performance CARS) who was...

When I first drove the MK III did not realize that it was car Number One of the line. It was also the New York Auto Show display GT40. It was eventually sent back to UK for updates, damaged seriously in transit (another GT40 was dropped on top of it!), repaired by Kar-Kraft and after a couple of...

Absolutely awesome. Wish I could find a Tungsten one. Have a great birthday, Marty

You did a great job, GT looks awesome. My pal Archie owned and raced #83 it for a number of years, sold it a year or so ago and retired from Historic racing. He drove it at Le Mans 24-Hour Classic a few years ago. Prior to that GT40, he raced a big-block GT40 and ran over 200 mph at Bonneville...

Massive bloodletting at Source Interlink today, some magazines cut, lots of staff let go, many friends on the street. Back in my magazine days I was on the "circuit" with David E, later became very friendly with Jean. David E's original intent was to model Automobile after CARS magazine in UK...

Congrats on the latest Smith Edition! Marty

Great shots Gary, wish I was with you guys. Left for Manhattan a couple of days before your road trip. As a Seinfeld fan, paid my respects today to Monk's Diner (Tom's Restaurant) at 112th & Broadway! Next time, Marty

Didn't realize that he was flying commercial, thought he still was using Ford planes. With new job he'll be back into flying Ford Air! Marty

I've followed Mark Fields' career and last time I checked he had a red Ford GT in his garage. Probably going to get one of those 50th Anniversary Mustangs. Interesting to see if he will finally have to move back to Michigan. He's been commuting weekly in a Ford plane from Florida. I think he's...

Would like some feedback from GT owners who have installed Bridgestones as to ideal tire pressure for street use? Thanks, Marty

I'm not big on spreading rumors and have very little to back this up. However, the source, not an employee, is very well connected with senior execs and performance engineers at Ford. Supposedly there is another two-seat sports car in the works, probably more of a Corvette competitor than an...
