eBay: Ford GT Rally 1 Banner for Wounded Warrior Project

[dbk]

We're sort of cleaning out our house, and I just have crazy amounts of Ford GT stuff. Much of it is posters and or artwork. Most of it I have more than one of. This is something I hadn't seen in years that was in a tube with no label.

It's a ~4' x 7' vinyl banner from Ford GT Rally 1 in Detroit. It's got about 120 signatures on it from attendees. I'm not sure who all of the team members are, but it definitely has:

Edsel Ford
Bill Clark
Kip Ewing
Camilo Pardo
Gene Martindale
Steve Saleen
Chris Theodore
Mark McGowan
Fred Goodnow

I'll spend some time poring over the banner and see who else I can figure out. If the winner of the auction wants it signed by additional people, I'll give it over to SVT to see if anyone left from the FGT program is around that didn't sign it in 06. I have a couple of these, so this one can go to charity. 100% of the final sale price goes through eBay Giving Works to the Wounded Warrior Project.

The mission of Wounded Warrior Project is to honor and empower wounded warriors by raising awareness, helping injured service members aid and assist each other and providing programs and services to meet the needs of injured service members. **Please note eBay sellers who list items for sale are not directly associated with WWP; they have chosen to donate a percentage of their sales to this organization. These funds directly support WWP’s mission. For more information, visit www.woundedwarriorproject.org.

Happy bidding. I see you guys bidding $400 for shirts, so be generous!

Was that the banner the forum members from Rally 1 signed the back of? SuperB had Jeff, Joey, Frank, Joe and others sign off....

These are pretty rare for those folks that don't know about them. This was the first rally when there were just a few banners made and signed, and it was the furor over the first rally banners that sparked all the banners for the following years annual rallies. Now days they print as many as needed for everyone who wants one, but not back then. Way back in 2006 one was charity auctioned for $3400.

I believe this photo shows all of the banners for the first rally that were printed and signed. What a great opportunity to get one, and what a great way to get it as I can't think of a more deserving charity.
