Ford GT spotted in Watkins Glen, New York

Details on This Ford GT:

  • Location
    Watkins Glen, New York
  • Description
    And the pinnacle of American cars; the Ford GT40! And my favorite shot i've ever taken too. Waited two years to post this photo but today seems like a good day for it. And i was talking to the owners' neighbors later that evening too and they said it's a real one.

Well i won't argue, and maybe it was a lie/joke but i think until i can see it again and look at more of the car's little details i'll continue believing the owner's wife.

It's definitely a replica. There's quite a few owners who try and pass their replicas off as legit. Check Josh's picture of this. Someone from the owner's town knows it's a superformance.

Not from what the owner and his wife told me.

Thanks again guys!

It's still up there in my top three favorite cars i've ever seen and definitely the best sounding. That's one thing i don't think i've mentioned yet is this was probably the loudest vehicle i've heard in my life. His revs were louder than a train horn.

Sam, that would make it an authentic Ford GT. If all parts were 100% authentic, but were assembled by the owner himself, it is an authentic piece of machinery. This has to be one of the rarest finds on the site. Spotting a real classic Ford GT is like winning the car spotting lottery.

Sam that's a very cool story! I wonder how much this car would go for at a auction with all original parts? Priceless for this owner who put the time and care to get it the way he wanted!

Thank you!

I recently found it again and got to talk to the owner's wife this time instead of the neighbor.

I can't tell if this makes it cooler or less authentic but she told me the car is actually not a factory car but was built by the owner in the garage out of real, original parts. So it's an authentic one but built by him. I think she said something about Africa and the car too but i didn't really get that part. lol

It's all in the practice.

I once stood outside my house for 4 hours just taking pannings of every single car that drove by so i would know my preferred shutter speed and my preference on how to hold the camera. Only stopped at 4 hours because one of the guys who drove by got mad at me, honked his horn as loud as he could all the way by my house, stopped in the street, and started going in reverse to get back in front of my driveway so he could yell at me. I ran inside when he started going in reverse though. Some old redneck guy in a pickup truck.
