Just ordered another mod.. my license plate now reads.... 1N BAD GT... Should be here in about 6 weeks.
Is There Anyone Out There with an Unmodified FGT?

I have a completely stock, Shelby G.T.350, no mods, all 100% original parts, price keeps rising on this car. Had it at the Rally II night at hte Petersen Museum. There is a lot to be said about unmodified autos and resale.

I agree with that 100%, but even then a car is still a bad investment. So I buy cars to enjoy without too much thought to resell value. I consider buying new cars as either a necessary transportation expense, or a luxury expenditure, but not an investment.

93, can you get the same kind of ride mileage out of the "other red dot" :banana
Only on the Streets of Whittier! Bought a orignal mechanical Rochester Fuel Injector for a 1958 Corvette from a guy in Whittier in 1992. Last time I was in Whittier, so looking forward to the SteveA "Going Away Shower" at the WCC.

Maybe he deleted his post, he wrote that cars are a luxury or transportation. I agree.

You're in profoundly good company Atomic... mine is stock too.
I added the (Ford) transaxle cooler, but that's it.
The GT is fast enough for me so I don't feel the need to enhance its performance - also I prefer my cars to be as original as possible, as the designers intended.
Whilst I would agree with the sentiment that the resale value is meaningless, you are right in that original cars are seen as more precious than modified cars - it's not the reason I don't touch mine.
My chums F40 featured hereabouts, is completely stock, down to the last nut and bolt, he has no intention of selling it (owned it from new), but it's one of the most valuable F40's as a consequence of his restraint.

My mods are done without regards for resale or collectability. All for my shear pleasure.
My hand guns are also highly modified. I will confess that all the wines in the cellar areb stock as well as my shotguns.
No kids, no pets, no heirs,
I'll let my beneficary foundations worry about selling off my sheeeeeet.

bony, you can adopt me, I will promise to take care of all your stuff!
You know, I am starting to feel like I am a member of a family again, thanks guys for keeping some FGTs original !!
Although, I must say, some of the FGTs are amazing with the mods, I still think the Black Bird is a one of a kind concept that is simply awesome.

Nelson, you and I are on the same wavelength ... My FGT is bone stock with the (easily reversable) addition of the Ford transaxle cooler, which I view as a real necessity for these car's long term mechanical well being. I also have a one re-paint (original color silver) '72 Pantera THPNMA03041 that is 100% original down to the OEM carb, steel valve covers with DeTomaso cast "plaques" and Pirelli tires. I've owned it since '74.
It's amazing to see Ford's technical "progress" from the rather crude and unsophisticated mid-engined,351 Cleveland Pantera to this engineering marvel ... the Ford GT.
