Liquid blue... White stripes... Red calipers ;) :)andy (ajb)

Is it too late to change AJB? Go with the silver calipers! That's Heidi's pick for you.

Heading to NAIAS tomorrow. Can't wait to see liquid red in person. Wish I could sit in it. I'm no Joe Biden though.

Ed - certainly not too late to change. My order window is January thru end of March 2017.

Now, I really trust Heidi's ''fine art and her design color and trim expertise'', but getting to this decision with just my family was a monumental effort.!
Megan and Ryan were always BLUE. Margaret wanted RED. I wanted RED, White and Blue... sort of a 'TWIN' to our 2006 Midnight Blue , White Stripe, Red Caliper Ford GT. I will keep you posted.

Orange stripes look good on liquid blue, then you can go with the orange interior

You made the right call. A blue/white stripe GT MUST have red calipers. There is really no debate about it.

With the orange interior the aluminium parts in the cockpit will be painted white as the strips in the dash and the seat frame. Did anyone realize that? Personally white painted metal parts remind me of camping furniture.

Looks amazing even with a crappy iPhone.

Question, watched video on page 4, is the red car equipped with the Dark Energy interior? At 3:43 in the video there is a number on the dash "H985", is this a code-model-package number? Car looks great.

That is the serial number.

The H refers to the year in the vin (H for 2017), and the number is the serial number.

Will ford place numbers from 1-1000(?) as they are produced on a plaque in the car?

Ed

PS My guess is I'll be around 375.

Yes and you will get a matching plaque to go on your CF order kit.

It's the "Dark energy upgrade" interior.

I was hoping for that. Another cool thing about the car!

If and when I get mine, I'll order liquid red with white stripes. To match my 2005.

And if I end up with the only red one in VA, that suits me even better.
