There's a Ford GT at Jubilee Ford today....... if your bored, go check it out, apparently they are revealing it today....

Original blue/orange paint scheme......

Not sure how long it's going to be here. I'm planning to swing by today, I'll grab some pics and post them up later.

I think that is the same one they have there, some dealer demo thing. Pretty rare to see ANY performance car here on the prairies....

Opens at 11am today, just heard it on the radio in the main showroom......

If you're in 'toon you guys should check it out.. beautiful car.. barely comes up to my waist.

I wonder if they'll start making kit cars of the new GT once it's out of production. I always dreamed about getting a GT40 kit car when I got older, but if I could get a car I'd actually fit in, and didn't locate the gas tanks in the door sills, I'd be so up for it.

Yeah I wondered that also........ There are a couple of those kit cars kicking around the city here, one is a blue lamborghini and it's 'very' close to the real thing, alot of original parts on the thing and a complete head turner.

Looking forward to this, I'll post up some pics for sure tonight. Not sure how good they will be as I'm sure there will be ALOT of people checking this out.

Well just got back, amazing car. Was talking with the guys at the dealership, the dealership actually bought the car so they own it according to the manager there.

Anyway ALOT of people, got some decent pics. Vaughn started it up (he owns the dealership) so we all took a listen, very cool sounding that's for sure. Revved it pretty hard, very very very quick throttle response.

Anyway pics are below, I'll just link them since they are 1000 pixels in width.......

Not to bad for $209,000 give or take.... check the window sticker. This one came with some added options also, different rims, leather trim, etc......

Made a mistake on the name, it's a FORD GT, not a GT40.... oh well. I've always known that car style as a GT40 and since the original was named so, kinda shocked FORD didn't stick with that name. That and typical 'street slang' for GT would be a Mustang GT......

Oh well.......

The gulf colors don't really work on the new GT... needs to be blue with the white stripe..

kinda can't call it a GT40, cause the orginal car was 40 inches tall and new one is 44 inches tall. GT44 doesn't have the same ring to it. i know too much about the Ford GT cars.

No kidding! Wpg got a couple last week, I had to go a take a look myself. I was in a deep trance drooling for about 20 minutes untill my service advisor started up an 03 Cobra that they just did a VT 5L stroker kit on with a Kenny Bell S/C to top it off, breathing through Bassani exhaust....The Cobra sounded better!!!! :ph34r:
The dealership I went to said the customer requested they didn't PDI the car, here some pics.....

And if you want to see how faithful the new car is to the original...

the fact that you can build a 'recplica' of a 30 yr old car and it still fit in with the latest exotics is a testament to just how great the original was (and still is).
