Ford GT / Random Ford GT Photos
August 15, 2022, 12:41:13 PM
How about a thread on random FGT photos ?

Came across this one a couple of days ago at my local beverage outlet, I'm just East of Toronto, Canada.

Would have got the VIN, but it was obscured by a piece of tape  ???

I'm sure this has been here before, it's from May 2010, if it has I will delete. Does any one know more about this car, or the out

come ?

The Board Room / Upload Folder is Full ?
February 27, 2022, 03:46:24 PM
Is it possible we can get this resolved, been close to a week now ?

Can't post images, I know it can be done through the gallery, (propayne) has been kind enough to post the instructions THANKS !

but I have tried half a dozen times and can't get it to work, too many steps, and it has been noted that I am not alone being

frustrated with the gallery method.

It's so much easier to attach an image to a post, one step  ;)

The Lounge / 1'st Generation Ford Bronco

Let's start a thread on these, since there has been discussion here about the new one.

I'll start with Tony's post about the '69 Ford Boss Bronco from last November.

GT40 - Original/Mk V / GT40 test Willow Springs film
January 04, 2022, 11:40:11 PM
Just came across this, not the best quality,  not sure if it's been here before ? Film of Ken Miles testing the GT40 at Willow Springs.

At the start that is supposed to be Miles arriving in the Cessna. Some footage of a Mustang notch chase car, I think filming the aero

test.

Also couple of photos taken of the Ford, the poor one is a Polaroid discarded by the Shelby/Ford crew that the OP picked up off the

ground

(photos & video: Steve Light)

Looking Back / SAAC-12 Charlotte NC
August 22, 2021, 12:29:17 PM
I think there was a thread on this on forum 1, now lost ?

This was my first event after I joined the club in 1987, I'll post the photos I have, no particular order, just as I have them in the

photo album, may not be sharp as I didn't want to pull off the clear on those old albums, it never sticks back down properly.

Was it really thirty-four years ago !

I'm sure some here can I.D the cars, and maybe some of the younger people !

Mike

I'll number the photos in descending order in each post, so it's easier if one wants to I.D. an image.

SAAC Forum Discussion Area / Ford Station Wagons
May 01, 2021, 09:45:22 PM
How about a thread on Ford wagons ? I'll start in the 50's, but doesn't have to stay chronological. Can be your or your families ride,

or seen on the street, or internet finds.

Any know the station brand in the first image with the red car ?

There's a new book on Ken Miles coming from Dave Friedman. I'm not sure how much new information there might be, but

Friedman has a huge inventory of photographs from the Shelby years, many that have not been seen before. He was the official

photographer for Shelby American I believe ?

I remember that cover photo on the last page "Slightly Modified" of Sports Car graphic back in the day with the caption something

like " give me that trophy you bloody colonial, it's mine !"  ;D
