The Final Countdown

[Shmee150]

Thanks for the kind words everybody, and thanks for being an epic community. I must also extend my thanks to DBK and everyone involved in the day of the final delivery, I've been reflecting on it non-stop ever since.

What a wonderful journey and experience this has been, getting to know so many great people along the way. However, it's far from the end, look forward to many more miles, and the accompanying smiles!

Thanks Tim for representing the GT community on your far reaching platform. It’s been almost 8 years since the new GT won Le Mans with tons of fun since. After watching this latest video, I’m even more humbled to have experienced everything GT and have one sitting in my garage! Cheers

Great video - fun to watch

I'd love to get one of the 1350 car posters too

 

[vyprgt2]

Good job to Shmee on the video, I thought it was one of his best.

Put me down as interested in a 1350 poster too!

 

[STORMCAT]

It's been a fun ride..can't believe it's going on 7 years since our epic trip to LeMans

 

[Steve GT Delivery Guy]

550 total deliveries and almost 6 years as a Ford GT Delivery Specialist for me has come to an end. The last delivery was just like the other 550 deliveries I have been involved with, good people all there to share in the excitement of seeing a great piece of automotive art be handed over to it's new owner. Sad to see the program come to an end, but looking back brings back many memories of meeting new people who became true friends.
The GT is a world class once in a decade supercar, the relationships built are almost as important. All of us behind the scenes crew are moving onto other projects mostly still in the automotive industry, longing for the day we get called to get the band back together and do it all again. Inclosing please get out there this driving season and drive the GT, don't save it for the next guy!
See you on the road,
Steve, GT Delivery Specialist.

Dave, if the posters would possibly be available to more than just owners, please pretty please, put my name down for one. Would love to frame it and hang it on my garage wall next to my Camilo Pardo signed Ken Miles SAAC poster. Thank you.

Steve GT, it was a pleasure seeing you at so many deliveries. Extra special seeing you at the Rally. You have made some lifelong friends with our group and I hope you keep participating here and attend more rallies.

 

[THamonGT]

Steve, I was very fortunate to be invited to numerous of your Ford GT deliveries In Texas! Good Luck On Your New Endeavor. I Look forward to see you at Our Next Ford GT Forum Rally! Good Luck Buddy! Tomy Hamon

Yes, 1,350

Is that about 1250 street cars with the rest track cars?

 

[dbk]

No, it’s 1,350 road cars.

FWIW, that poster is not and will not be available. There were some team people there Friday and they had theirs so that’s where it came from. Obviously that clip is now getting me a lot of grief, so, same same.

Well, what have you done for us lately??

 

[Specracer]

@Steve GT Delivery Guy Maybe more time for an SRF3 this summer?

 

[Gene Cassone]

Steve GT delivery specialist must have many incredible delivery stories! At our next GT rally maybe a panel of those who were involved in NFGT tell their stories! We had a similar one in 2006 after 05-06 production ended. I will never forget meeting all involved!
Steve sent me this photo of my wife and friend , from her Fiat cabriolet,filming Steve and I driving the GT from delivery site to my house!

 

[SYCO GT]

Steve GT was quite possibly the only person as happy as me to receive my 2021 Ford GT, M007. I'm sure he delivered every single one of the 550 with the same care, precision and enthusiasm.

Simply awesome!

Here is Steve quite possibly battling with Kevin over who gets to sit in the car first and asking my wife to make a choice.

 

[extrap]

Curious if anyone knows the youngest age to have received an NGT allocation? And, the oldest? No names, just ages.

Seems like most were maybe 45-65 ... ? but interesting to think about the extremes.

I couldn't even imagine getting a car like this at say 20. But I've always taken good care of my things, so it def wouldn't have been abused.

 

[Shmee150]

I'm certainly not the youngest but I would have been 28 when I got the allocation; 31 at delivery though!

Another young owner would be:

That's a great video Tim.
I could sense a bit of emotion when Garen and his son presented you with the print and drawing.
Exactly how I felt when Kevin of
Pat Milliken unfurled the print of my car on delivery day.
Along with Steve Coates it was a very special day and I realize how lucky
I am to have been part of all this.
