The yellow Ford GT is equipped with a standard 6-speed manual transmission, runs a stock engine block and heads, retains its airconditioning, power windows and power door-locks, and it also has an original, completely stock body with no aerodynamic modifications other than removing the rear view mirrors.

One day, One day. Maybe I will get to have one. Probably not but one day.



what will happen is the option to get get one will become available to me 50 years down the road when I'm 74. And then I will fail the state DOT eye exam, and have my license revoked the day after taking delivery.


But man would the 1 day of driving it be fun.

I'm sure it has enough power to keep accelerating in 6th... I'd love to see just how fast it will spin the tires...

Pretty sure I saw it hitting the limiter pretty hard in 6th toward the end there.
