DanielC Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 Wait, you just did that recently? What is the story? Is this something Ford is doing now, or are you not a liberty to say? Quote Link to comment
scooter stuff Posted May 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 I did the paint work this week. The car was built and raced in 1965. It now belongs to a private collector. http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/car/3359/Ford-GT-Roadster.html Quote Link to comment
