Well, I have not taken any Glam shots yet. I sold one of my boats and bought this GT. The market bottomed out about December 08', I wish I jumped then.

I love all the colors but the Heritage (powder blue/Orange) and yellow. I can't have yellow anything. Personality defect I guess.

Workshop is a mess, We have it stuffed full while we rebuild our house (my other full time job).

I live a place where you see Lambos, Ferraris, Bently's, GT-3's everyday... but the Ford GT is a real eye catcher and a REAL car!!!

Congrats.

Does it have the factory McIntosh sound system?

Michael.......With just over 3000 miles, the GT is still essentially new. That particular shade of blue looks great.

Can you stuff a few more toys in that garrage?

I said it before, the Ford GT is one of very few cars that will hold its value.

Thank you, Of course it has the McIntosh system and you know what? It sounds fantastic! I immediately tested it with my best quality CD of Supertramp's Crime Of the Century.

MSRP was $165K, They dipped down to around 150 and in the last few months have been shooting up again with low mileage cars demanding $175 to $180K. You see advertised prices from dealers who specialize in GTs and there is not much negotiation room in the price. They are moving very briskly now. The Original owners are starting to cull their collections so low mileage cars are available.

Some of those "original" owners paid huge dealer premiums to get their cars.
