We need more GTs, so get here quick! We actually have six, but two were not available for lunch today.

Martin owns Vintage Motors in Sarasota and the car museum. I know the car came from a museum. He bought it for his dealership and I believe it's for sale. It has around 18,000 miles on and it does have a current Florida registration and plate.

We had a great turnout today at our Sarasota Cafe Racers lunch, around 55 people and some great cars. This year is the 50th anniversary of Ford's GT/GT40 program and four of us brought our GTs to celebrate: Andy Marlowe's White, my Tungsten, Ottocar Jacob's Heffner-modified Red and the rare...

Before the open-cockpit Ford Mark II sports-prototype, based on the 1965 X-1 Modified Sports Car, there were four roadsters, two still not on the radar screen. Mike Gulett posted a nice piece on the roadsters at My Car Quest and I've linked to it along with photos of the original X-1 in racing...

Just picked up my GT from Heffner after Jason installed the Speedhut gauges, and I love 'em. I ordered gauges to be as close to stock as possible, with polished bezels. Now I have to figure out how to make a display piece out of the old IP. Unfortunately the speedo is locked at an embarrassing...

Some owners have told me that fans kick in close to 220. I've experienced 200 without fans, hasn't been a problem, Marty

I had purchased my Tungsten GT Nov-Dec 2011, a couple of months later had Heffner replace the Ford battery (which tested fine) with a new Ford GT battery. I keep the GT, like my Corvette, always on a CTEK trickle charger when they are not driven. A month or so ago hit 10,000 miles and my speedo...

The GT40 that Dan Gurney and A.J. Foyt drove to the historic victory in 1967 is on its way back to Gurney from The Henry Ford Museum! It's going to All-American Racers in California for freshening up for the future. Check it out at...

My weekend at Amelia plans got screwed up, had my media credentials and even seats on my friend's TBM 700 making it just a 45-minute commute. Waited too long to try and get a room and it was my wife's birthday, everything fell apart.

Just published a piece on the GT40 Golden Anniversary at Amelia Island Concours today. Incredible cars in an incredible setting. http://www.carguychronicles.com/2013/03/ford-gt40-golden-anniversary-amelia.html

Congrats, now enjoy it. I bought my Tungsten GT a little over a year ago from Shelby, had a similar experience. I'm still in lust with it! Marty

Thanks. Never thought about that since I didn't order the car new. I'm a newbie, owner since Nov 2011!

Just registered my Tungsten GT, but entry form wouldn't take both painted stripes and vinyl side stripes, only one. Either I'm experiencing brain fade or form has a glitch. Probably brain fade!

Usually a valid current registration means "street legal." However, some states are easy to register cars regardless of modifications and racing equipment. Once you get the registration you can keep on renewing it, regardless of modifications made. Then use it strictly for racing and occasional...

283-mph ford gt Anytime I get the opportunity to showcase our favorite marque - Ford GT -I take it. Always lots of controversies over record-setting, but thought I'd publish something on Bohmer's IMRA record-holding GT in the Car Guy Chronicles...

Today's edition of Classic Driver features the Ford GT and some GTs for sale. Published in the UK, most of the cars listed for sale in the newsletter are in Europe. It's a quality online publication. Nice seeing the coverage...

All the best. Blue no-stripe exterior is outstanding. Welcome to the best forum in the hobby! Marty

Happy Holidays and a great 2013 to all my GT friends!
