FORD GT America’s FIRST Supercar & why it's simply the GT

[@glennbeck5138]

I’m so glad you started with that commercial spot of the Ford GT on the track. Love it!

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

That was very cool spot! Thanks for watching!

[@LICobra]

I remember seeing that video on TV as it was awe inspiring, and then a few years later I got to drive a friends 2005 GT. One of those moments you never forget.

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

I have never had the privilege of driving one. I envy you sir!

[@anthonylaudano9435]

​@@TonysFordsandMustangsI THINK I HAVE A NICE 8 CAR COLLECTION BUT I WOULD LOVE TOO HAVE A FORD GT.

[@OldManGarage]

I remember seeing one of these at the Ford dealer When they were brand new and it looked like a spaceship, it was so cool! It is one of my favorite cars of all time

[@bobuncle8704]

I’ve actually see one irl, driving through a coffee shop drive through. They stopped to let me check out their car. Simply amazing.

[@jjdekay6969]

white with blue stripes, red with white stripes and a fully loaded gulf livery gts. I was able to drive all of them several times and it was nothing less than exhilarating.

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

That's very cool!

[@phantom0456]

The Gulf livery is the sexiest look for one of these. It’s incredible how much their value has increased over the years.

[@Wooley689]

These cars and your video give me butterflies for the GT all over again. You can see a ton of the features in Interior styling crossed to the Mustangs of today like my 2011 GT.

[@thebionicbassplayer]

I love the inclusion of the commercials,very well done spots and presentation. At the 2015 NAIAS, I filmed all 3 generations of the GT, but this early 2000's is my favorite.

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

Thank you very much for the kind words. It is appreciated!

[@darylthomas4676]

The charcoal with silver stripes was my favorite! Don't remember what they actually called the color but it was gorgeouse! Thx Tony!👍

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

Thanks for watching!

[@chuckselvage3157]

We didn't get these in Australia...if you wanted one you were probably looking at a lot of dosh to get one here on the road....still it's a fine automobile I'd love to own.

[@GreenBlueWalkthrough]

thanks for covering my favoite super car and telling it's story!

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

Glad you liked it!

[@ManuaLiberty]

I’ve had the pleasure of seeing one of these and a continuation GT40 side by side and it’s a stark difference. Almost like an old galaxy to a Miata. Enjoyed this video Tony 👍🏻

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

Thanks for watching Conner!

[@tonys6538]

Even though the GT 40 was around in the 60’s they were not sold to the public. But the first North American Supercar was the Detomaso Pantera in 1971 powered by the ford 351 cleaveland and ford transmission. These cars were sold at Ford dealerships for four years I believe.

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

I don't consider the de Tomaso Pantera an American car. Yes they were powered by a Ford Engine, sold at Lincoln-Mercury dealerships and Ford had an ownership stake in De Tomaso however they were not a badged Ford product. They were produced by Italian automobile manufacturer in Italy and therefore not American. You are welcome to disagree and I appreciate you watching and leaving a comment.

[@wesd2845]

Excellent video, I really enjoyed it!

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@komradkolonel]

I really love these. My two all time favorite Fords are the GT40 and the BOSS 429 Mustang. The closest I will ever get to owning either one will only be if the one I have was made by Hot Wheels. I wasn't too thrilled with the second generation GT40 because I felt the design just strayed too far from the original.

[@RoadRunnergarage8570]

I built the Revell 1/24 Scale GT Model kit a year or so ago... Came out quite decently I think...

[@N-Scale]

If I only had the money !!! At Rich Ford in Albuquerque, I saw one of the Gulf cars being driven on the street to the dealers show !!

[@michaelsimko7694]

I saw that image of the GT90 concept

[@machdaddy6451]

The premium sound system is the exhaust!

[@johnpeters7316]

Best looking car ever! Great video, enjoy all your content.

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

Much appreciated! Thank you John!

[@oneninerniner3427]

I was surprised our small town dealer actually somehow got a white one with blue stripes! I think it was in 05 and It sat in the showroom for awhile, not terribly long ,but finnally sold for about retail as i recall.

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

That was quite a deal.

[@oneninerniner3427]

@@TonysFordsandMustangs yeah, he certainly made money on it. But I bet he wished he would have held out a little longer for more. I think it went out of the area as in out of state as well, probably to some broker.

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

@@oneninerniner3427 more and likely those cars were bringing big $ right away and it hasn't stopped since.

[@radioguy1620]

its been said , but if I start playing the lotto, here's the reason, well one of them. A classic the day it came out, not too many cars can claim that.

[@mirisch64]

FIRST? Now, wait a minute! No disrespect for uncle Henry with GT40 and Shelby with Cobra, but first FULLY AMERICAN supercar was Vector W8 (or Mosler Consulier GTP, depends on your preferences).

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

No disrespect taken. Vector only made 22 of those cars so I wouldn't consider it a production supercar.

[@jasonkoc3997]

I had a opportunity to buy one the first year they came out. I had saved up to buy my first house and had a decent chunk of money at my disposal. Unfortunately I had no place to store it when I couldn't drive it. . Ugh.

[@larryblanks9202]

Just saw a white with blue stripes driven to VIR to participate in track day.

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

That should do well there!

[@Mr.Higginbotham]

Love it!

[@Pappy63]

There's one in Indiana with a license plate that reads 205MPH

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

That's awesome thanks for sharing!

[@thewatcher5271]

Isn't The Car Sold By Superformance A Better Value & A-lot More Like The Original Cars Of The '60's? Thank You.

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

I'm not familiar with Superformance's cars. I guess it depends on what you want out of a car. I like driving my 70 mach 1 but for track use I would prefer my 2022 mach over it anyday.

[@deathscythehell7937]

First supercar? We all know about the cobra's and gt40s. Any blue oval man worth his salt couldn't forget that Ford briefly owned Pantera in the late 70s and early 80s

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

Thanks for watching. The Cobras were Shelby's cars, The GT40's were race production only and not available to the public, Ford began importing the Pantera for the American market to be sold through its Lincoln-Mercury dealers but they were not Ford cars even though they were powered by a 351.

[@anthony_rivera4735]

I don't understand why the ford GT was only produced in 2005 and 2006 only, was the GT such a sales flop that Ford quickly abandoned the GT almost immediately after it came out for 2005?

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

It was too expensive to build and it was more of a promotional vehicle than an actual production car. It wasn’t a flop at all.

[@jimlafreeda43]

Beautiful car that is just plain bad to the bone !

[@rodneyrussell-to4ng]

Your completely out of your mind,the Corvette is a Super Car, not that POS Ford!!!

[@EnthusiastsGarage]

The corvette will never be a supercar
