    Silver rings in the seats?

    When the original "Ford GT" (later the 'GT40') was designed, the comfort of the pilot was a concern. The early design had a complex airflow management system that took high-pressure air from the grille opening and ducted it through the interior including the seats via the grommets. It was...

    Is The Shelby GT500 SuperSnake Kit Worth The Money?

    No, But only you can decide if you want to part with the required number of dollars to own one. Remember, in 1966 a lot of people thought $16,000 was WAY too much to pay for a small, mid-engined sports car with NO radio and dicey assembly quality!:biggrin

    How many unsold GTs are dealers holding on to?

    With the addition of the 2009 models, the Ford dealer locater system has dropped the 2006 models (as of 3-6-08), however last time I looked (a couple of weeks ago) the locater showed around 30 2006 GTs in dealer inventory. Note that that does not count units reported sold that are still at the...

    GT with 427 SOHC

    John V. did the engine install in Safir GT40 P1116 circa 1986. It was a 351 Windsor with a Holley. The car came together late one night and a test run was attempted. John decided that it would be a good idea for him to ride shotgun. He levered himself into the left hand seat (RHD) and off he and...
