Lowell used to be known as the haven for pickup trucks and mud buggies. But lately, I have been seeing some cars that are not only unusual to Lowell, but unusual to just about most places. This weekend, I saw a Ford GT parked on main street.<\/p>\n
Ford originally built the GT in 1966 and entered it in the Le Mans 24 hour endurance race. The GT won. In celebration, Ford sent the GT on a tour of dealerships across the US. That car came to Lake Odessa and I actually got to ride in it. Of course, the ride wasn’t very long, but it was, none the less, a ride in a Ford GT.<\/p>\n
In 2005, Ford began a limited production of the GT. Though it is not the original 1966 design, it is pretty close. Its 550 horse powered engine give it 0-60 in 3.3 seconds with a top end of 205 mph.\u00c2\u00a0 I wonder if it is the same engine that is used in the Shelby Cobra Mustang?<\/p>\n
If you can find a Ford GT, the starting list price is about $150,000.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
