Midnight Blue looks fantastic. I love that color.

Were the lightweight wheels an option from day one?? I know I should know that but I don't.

Rear clam shell clips?

Was it Shirley who threw the $17,500 per plate bash for the President last night that soothed the Seattle commute for hours?

Looks like his GT is a 2 option car. I did not see the Mac Hump between the seats and I doubt he did a relocate. I guess he needed to trim the MSRP a bit. :lol

According to the article attached to 2nd vid above, it was ordered with one. Maybe he changed it? :shrug:

"The car was produced in Shirley's choice of colour (Midnight Blue with white stripes) and options (McIntosh Radio, lightweight BBS Wheels, and grey painted brake calipers)."

Whoops I forgot Gray calipers were optional.

Did you see the Mac tube between the seats?

 

[AJB]

Yes - best color combo...except he needed the red-calipers... Red White Blue

[2112]

Agreed, Had my Gray calipers painted red. Really looks better.

'Too hard to tell one way or the other with all the reflections going on in the window(s).

My bet is it probably IS there. I mean, I doubt someone would pay $500K for a car and NOT opt for every option on the sheet... :lol :cheers

5-0010 was a four option car - Racing stripes, Mac, Grey Calipers, and Forged Lightweight wheels. It was built on July 23, 2004, and delivered to Mr. Shirley at Bowen Skarff Ford on August 6, 2004.
So yes, it has a Mac radio, and yes, the Optional wheels were available from Job #1.

Did you read the YouTube comments. Some bozo insists that the video was at the Centennial. There were only 3 cars complete then, and no GTX1. What an expert.
