After contemplating many, many cars over many, many months, it's the FGT for the win.

Also in contention were the 997TTS, ZR1, R8 V10, Gallardo and F430. At the end of the day, for me, the combination of heritage, performance, relative ease of maintenance, exotic looks, discontinued production and the flattest depreciation curve sealed the deal.

The fact that she'd had the bumper delete, pulley-tune-exhaust upgrade, clear bra, and factory-looking silver seat piping (amazing in person) & inserts already done made it all the better.

FWIW, I bought her from Shelby at Elite Auto's in Jonesboro Arkansas. I couldn't imagine a nicer, straight-shooting, honest guy to buy from. He said the FGT was near-perfect and it was.

Now my Factory Five (Ford powered) roadster kit has a sibling.

Special thanks to Pro (Superfly) for his encouragement/advice offline.

Some quickly composed delivery night pictures (better ones coming as soon as I can con Alex into stopping by).

 

Congratulations! You made a great choice. Enjoy!

 

Very nice congrats on the FGT.

BTW- do I spy a Yenko?

HUGE WIN! One of my favorite all time cars!

Congrats man, I'd love to drive up to the cities some weekend and stare at it for awhile!

 

Nice choice! I wish we had more Ford GTs.. its a beauty

 

Congrats on the new acquisition! It's amazing how much visual difference the bumper delete makes. Car looks awesome! Sw always has some nice cars.
