Here's a photo of it, and here's a link to the story where the photo was featured (a Ford GT plant tour that many of you enjoyed 15 months ago...)

Thanks Enzo, we old Forum members must remember there are many, many new members that have not spent the hours and hours we have reading all these interesting posts.

Dave, as usual a class act.
The guys at SVT are very deserving of this historical icon. What a car they built for us! Hopefully it will spark future great Ford products....

I know of at least two collectors who had contacted the Manutactruing VP at Ford and tried to buy this 'car'. I am glad to see that it ended up in good hands.

plus two more. My two were folks I worked with at Ford Motor Co. I am sure there were others too.

I'm exceedingly happy this is where the car ended up. It would have been a shame if the company let such a unique piece of its history just slip off to whoever. The guys at SVT deserve it, especially since it basically torpedoed the organization in its prior form. 30 years from now they would have really regretted letting this one go.
