I wondered if it is legit/"real" too...hard to believe a big, professional company would label the cap an "assembley"(sic) on the rear part number sticker

Seller has good feedback and appears to be a car guy. I hate blind sales.
Ok, I will raise to $500 and see if I at least hit the damn reserve.

JUST FOR THE FUN OF IT, THE FENDER ,INNER FENDER, HEADLIGHT, PURGE CANNISTERS, HORNS, PLASTIC PLUGS, LOOSENED FRONT FACIA, THE WHEEL, THE HOOD CABLES AAAANNND THE FILLER PIPE AAAALLLLLLL HAVE TO COME OUT TO GET TO THE 3 SCREWS, WHICH BY THE WAY THE WHOLE FENDER HAS TO COME OFF TO GET TO. NO JOKE MY FRIENDS:frown , IVE BEEN THERE GTJOEY 1314 MUA!!

Yep, it's a bitch. When we R&R'd mine for polishing it took forever. We didn't have to take the whole fender off, but we did have to lift it up. Problem is you just can't get a hand or tool in there behind the 3 screws to hold em. You can feel them, but you just can't get them off without all the trouble. Kind of reminds me of a few girls I knew in high school... oh well that's a different post, or maybe a different forum altogether (lifetime member of that forum too, or at least some kind of “member”). Anyway just like the girls, it was worth it for me.:cheers

Fuel door

I have been in touch with the seller of the fuel door. I can verify that it is indeed a genuine part.

Happy Bidding all. :thumbsup

Rich,
One of the seven eh? Not one of Bob Ida's replicas? I would pay $50 to get the story on how it found itself from Fords ownership onto Ebay. Care to share?
Thanks and stay warm.

Bony,
I can't go into details on it ( I could say, but then I'd have to kill myself) , but it is real. I know the owner. I can say it was never installed on a car.

Rich :thumbsup

The the current bid price, someone can get a just the lid manufactured for less money than that and sell them here or on ebay.

Of course there is the little problem of trademarks and it would not be a collectable.

AND THE FACT THAT FORD ORDERED THEM SCRAPPED , IT WASNT FOR SALE TO THE PUBLIC . CAN FORD TAKE IT OFF YOUR CAR, DONT KNOW ,



I have a Smith & Wesson model 500 you can use to help pursuade Ford to "back off" should they decide on trying said action...

I just spoke with Bob Ida. He does not make a replica fuel cap.

Hey Peak,

Have you got powder coated black wheels with polished lips on that yellow GT? If you do, I'd love to see the photos. That's got to look badass!!!!!!

This is the new more positive "half-shaft" post I guess. Lots of posts, can't wait for the technical metal analysis that must be coming from the experts! Will there be a failure rate on the spring for the hinge? I just hope it isn't made of kryptonite! I called my bank today to see if I could take out a second on my GT so I can bid on it!:rofl
