Indy,

You live in my time zone -- can I interest you in a fractional ownership deal on the Nardo car? We can keep it at my place..... :biggrin

I'll bring my check book.....But ONLY if I can have a similar fractional ownership in your PINTO...!

After 30+ years in hiatus, the Pinto seems in great demand as of late -- we'll certainly work something out!! :cheers

 

[TEXAS GT]

This will be exciting. And both Mark and Dennis will be there to sign the car after I buy it!:rofl

 

[dbk]

And Alex will be there as well, so that's three of the team who was there when it went 209.

That wouldn't be a racing Pinto built circa 1971 would it?

This old dirt farmer don't have any cash but would be willing to trade 40ac of Chowchilla beach front property for one. No! Make that 80ac with a 2300 sqft house & 5000 sqft shop. All kidding aside, this auction will be a huge part of FGT history. You can't do any better than this folks. This car & it's history has brought us much fun, friends & happiness. Best of luck to all. Bid fast, bid high! :cheers

Your modesty prevails, you can certainly leverage the value of some of next year's pastachio (world's best!!) crop. I don't know the recipe, but they are absolutely awesome!! :thumbsup

Mark, :bow:bow

I've got a picture with the whole Wixom build crew standing by PB 1 -1 as it was being unloaded from the truck from Saleen. That was the first car that came into Wixom. If I remember correctly, it was January of 04.

See you in Vegas my friend. I think there will be enough of us that were on the program to build a GT.

OK Rex, I will be sending you more by years end but I forgot what flavor you got. To be safe I'll send you a variety pack. Also, I must confess that I am not a pastachio farmer but a lowly almond farmer. Those stachio's were grown by my neighbors. A can a week is all we ask. :biggrin

 

[dbk]

OK, pictures coming within the hour. I have driven all the vehicles and they all work :biggrin

I took too many. Resizing in Pshop as we speak.

Dennis was there too. Make that 4.

 

[dbk]

Here's the team and a few friends!

 

[silver1331]

Nice tease with the Red GT in the background! :biggrin

 

[dbk]

Here is the Blue car:

"PB2-1"

VIN: 1FAFP90SX5Y400045

• Color: Blue with White Stripes
• Odometer:
• Options: Forged BBS Wheels, McIntosh Stereo, Red Calipers
• First car in the PB2 pre production build (last pre production build before production)
• Vehicle's owner was Manufacturing and was used for mileage accumulation, manufacturing, and electrical prove-out
• After the vehicle successfully completed it's testing it was transferred to Product Development (SVT)
• For the brief amount of time that a MkII follow on program was in the planning stages, it was used as the program vehicle
• The vehicle still has a prototype small pulley for increased supercharger boost (this pulley eventually became the Ford Racing Pulley)
• The vehicle still has exhaust manifold heat shields printed with "Mark II"
• Vehicle has "Ford GT" logo fuel filler cap

 

[TEXAS GT]

It's amazing the condition of these cars considering that they were basically test mules.

It's a shame you can't register them but I guess they'll make good parts cars.:lol
