“Black Tip 1” is the 1st Black Tip Model and the 5th edition of the Camilo Pardo/ The GT Guy LLC Signature Series. This race livery is an evolution of the very first Ford GT 40’s. In 1963 the Ford GT was developed at Ford's Dearborn Design Center, and the prototypes were displayed with black hoods. The black hoods were common on models from GT101 thru GT110.
This black paint graphic was applied to aircrafts and performance vehicles simply to cut done on the glare of the sun. [Reference Chuck Yeager's USAF NF-104]
This 2005 GT has a Pulley & Tune upgrade with approx. 650hp, GTG vintage bumper delete kit, GTG true X muffler, and a lowered front end realigned to production specs.
Currently this is Camilo’s personal car and has about 3200 miles on it. It is currently for sale as he is already designing his next Signature Series car.

The third image does make the car appear like the earliest GT40 iterations. Really beautiful.

Inspired and inspiring. IMO, more true to Ford racing heritage than the Heritage livery, since, as far as I know, Ford did not support JW Automotive/Gulf racing.

Can't wait to find out who the lucky owner will be. Wouldn't it be great to have some of these Signature cars at the rally?
