They should have put the retro style and painted rims.
Killer shot, ive never seen a GT40 styled one on the road.

Now, what would really be cheeky would be a Ford GT in Rothmans livery! Or in Petty Blue with the number 43 on it...
Or, worse yet, in red, with prominient Shell and FIAT logos! That'd have some serious "WTF?" factor to it!

Oh hell yes.
AMERICAN BEAUTY BABY!!!
That is what I like to see, pure american muscle.
I love it how you got it on the highway, no grass for this baby, only open pavement. It actually looks like it is on a racetrack with the cars around it. ^.^

Nah, it's the new GT Ford released in 2006. However, it's one of several put in that kind of paint scheme to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the 1996 Le Mans victory.
