Hi Keith,
Without digging any books out, all I can remember is there were 101 official FoMoCo imports for the 'European market'.
That was the quantity Ford settled on to have converted (lights, headlamp washers, exhaust etc) & I know plenty of potential buyers were unlucky.
(There's many personally imported ones running around too)
Regards Steve
Really? That low? I am surprised. It wasn't as if it was expensive or that it didn't receive major free publicity (in the shape of one J Clarkson). So, in essence the Ford GT program was really for domestic consumption only, but I wonder if the proposed new one will be?
People have made a big killing on the previous GT though. Why, I've even heard of buyers who purely did a back to back deal without even getting their hands on it!
Disgraceful...:furious:
The 2005/2006 Ford Gt will only do one thing......GO THROUGH THE ROOF!
You all know my love for the car but the worldwide love is even stronger.
A car that has 550 hp, A/C and bare minimum essentials make it the perfect combination.
My 2003 Aston Vanquish cost thousands just to look at , where a GT needs 8 plugs from a F150 AND 2 TAURUS AIR FILTERS for a total cost of 50 dollars and away you go!
Just a wonderful ride.......just a shameful plug, there are 2 wonderful books that explain it all on ebay and Ford if you want to learn more:thumbsup:

4 Years ago, they bottomed out at $133,000. Ever since government rules and regulations, lack of inspiration and NOTHING new coming from ANY car company, they have steadily climbed the charts.Define through the roof?
Low production numbers, iconic design, easy (relatively & comparatively) to maintain (I've read and I'm told.......and not by Jeremy Clarkson!) and whats not to love. If I had the spare cash I'd buy one for all the reasons stated. I can see no reason why this car will not continue to increase in value. It carrries all the ear marks of a car on its way up and up.
Joey, what will be interesting to see is if your car, given what its been through and is going through, will increase or decrease in value.

I'll take you up on your offer should we meet again. Last time we met at Amelia Island I recall you being the best dressed guy in the room. I'll look forward it!
