What have you done with your new Ford GT?

Concours in the Hills

Gentlemen,

Last Saturday Arizona auto scene heavyweight and all around good guy Peter Volny put on the 6th Annual Concours in the Hills out on the lakeside grass at Fountain Hills AZ. Peter does this every year and has raised $500,000 for the Phoenix Children’s Hospital to build a special play & recovery room for kids battling cancer. Peter is a childhood cancer survivor and he is most committed to helping others. Peg and I took both GT’s to an ABC News TV promo segment on Friday and then displayed both cars all day Saturday. It was a great event with nearly 900 cars on display. Harley Cluxton brought his Mirage and there was a beautiful Porsche 917. The Shelby Lone Star, and my favorite single seat auto, Andretti’s Lotus 38. Over 50 Ferrari’s, 80+ Porsche, Mclaren’s galore, and every other exotic imaginable. Last year I had the only NFGT, this year there were 4 and a bunch of ‘05-‘06’s. Peggy handed out 60 Matchbox GT’s to the kids. A 15 year old friend of mine showed up wearing a 1969 Le Mans shirt and it made for a cool photo next to the Mirage. A fine day in every way.

Haven't done much other than having it wrapped at the moment, and may even leave as is. I've waited 2+ years to finally be handed the keys. Please allow me to introduce my 2019 Ford GT, whom I call "The Skunk" to the forum. Photo courtesy of Steve McCord.

Great shot Yizio, I love the look as well as your selection of the GT! Welcome to the Forum and hope you post more great pictures of your beauty. Would love to meet you and your beautiful Girl in person sometime soon!

Wow, Yizio, I never thought I'd like to see a skunk up close and personal, but now I do! Come out for an event (we Arizonans are having a 2 day drive at the end of March - hint, hint). You'll find we Forum folks are a pretty fun lot!

Wild West - the black background is stunning, yet the white is pretty darn great, too. Clearly you can't go wrong with whatever you choose.
And same invite... pop on over for a drive next month. We should meet!

We would love to pop over for a drive, however it's 12 hours one way for us, through snow and ice. Thank you for the invite, maybe after we get the clear wrap on our car

In one week, my 2017 Ford GT #H045 will be 20 months old! After returning from the Fred Smith Memorial Celebration And Drive I now have 3,058 miles on her during her round trip to the Fabulous Hill Country of Texas. I learned more about my Girl on this trip as the weather was 38-55 degrees and beautiful and dry. Thanks to Fred we traveled the back roads of Texas from Freeway driving to 1-2 lane farm to market roads, over cattle gards, up and down different elevation and many blind curves, switch backs and in open range Country. Wow, what a test for my GT at every mile. Some of are aware that I have used a Catalyst EFS (Eco Fuel-Saver) mixed with 87 Octane regular Shell fuel the entire life of my GT with unbelievable results.
I just figured the fuel consumption for 640 miles and using 42.02 gallons of fuel and averaged 15.29 MPG on this exciting trip. ( Note: That’s exactly what I get in my 2014 Expedition using the same mixture and it has a low Rearend with traction lock and a 5.4 engine, 15-15.4 mpg and have for 3 years). There are exciting things happening in our GT community with testing and fuel analyzing being done as I write this experience. Stay tuned, more to come! Thank You Fred and your Family for sharing your personal test roads of Texas and helping me to learn so much more about my Girl while honoring you, a Great friend and Member Of this Ford GT Forum Family! Rest In Peace Our Friend. We were assured that Sherry, Clayton and the family will stay active in the Forum. I followed Clayton driving their New 2019 Heritage with Fred with us all the way!
