Ford GT wanted in Atlanta mid-summer for wedding photos

I'm looking for a GT for use in some photos of me and my wife on our wedding day in late July. I would very much like to have an example of a GT at my wedding, and would be willing to offer its owner a fair price for giving me that opportunity.

For a bit of background... I grew up working on Mustangs with my father who managed to grab a few Shelbys (before they were worth anything) as well as hold on to his 1969 Mach 1 that he drove to college. I've been around cars my entire life.

I was planning to buy my own GT, but I couldn't talk my fiancee into eloping, but she did agree to let me buy one in the future. (Maybe I should get that in writing - huh?)

As an aside ... In a dream scenario I'd like to drive away from the ceremony in it for a block or two, but being a car nut myself I can definitely see how that is a long shot. I can provide references regarding my ability to exercise self control AND to control a performance vehicle - including certificates from racing school, karting competitions, receipts from Viper rentals, etc. I'm not some crazy kid that will put someone's car at risk. I'm a 33 year old patent attorney at a law firm with offices in Midtown. Like I said... driving it is a pipe dream and I would be happy just to have the car for photos.

My favorite color scheme is a blue car with White stripes, but I would be interested in others as well.

Anyway... thanks for taking the time to read this if you got this far. If it doesn't work out, I guess I'll have to settle for an old Mustang. :biggrin

You may want to look into some local exotic car rental places in your area,they might have one. There is a place down here in South FLorida that has one. You never know.

I've already checked. The closest place is Savannah and they unfortunately don't have a GT.

Edit: BTW - where is the place in Florida that has one? I go down there at least once a year for races.

I like your wedding day plan:banana. Did the same thing but used a real Cobra in the day. Wanted a GT40 but did not have a connection, the wife thought the convertible was cute.

Ought to be Plenty of nice Cobra Replica's in your neck of the woods as a second best.

Get married out here, no throwing of rice, flowers or anything else within 100yards, and I may just would loan/rent it to you for your supervised departure.

Hey Perry,

We may be able to work something out, I live in Charleston and we could make a weekender out of Atlanta.

My GT is a white 05 with blue stripes. It just so happens I need some patent advice. If you're interested let me know. You can reach me here..

Best regards,
Mark
