I remember seeing three new Ford GTs pass through the Joe Machens Ford showroom when I worked there. This stunning Mark IV Red Clearcoat Ford GT was actually delivered on Friday October 15.

Once prepped and detailed, it spent a few days in the showroom before the new owner took delivery.

I took advantage of the weekly Monday morning sales department meeting to snap a few pics while the showroom was empty.

The MSRP of $140k was augmented by a few option bringing the total to $156k.

Power comes from a supercharged 5.4L V8 that makes 550 hp.

Has 18" wheels in front.

Rear wheels are 19".

This is a rare car, one of 2,022 produced that year.

It's also one of only 765 finished in Mark IV Red Clearcoat paint.

Only available with a manual transmission.

This car, like the other GTs we received, were all sold orders.

The car was brought back to the Service Department to address a concern with the radio speakers.

This allowed me to get better pics of the interior.

Interesting location for the HVAC controls.

Racing style bucket seats.

Racing style pedals.

Shop Foreman Jim was the only person allowed to drive this car.

There was some kind of issue with one of the radio speakers that tech Justin was looking into.

Part of the door trim panel removed.

I don't remember the specific issue. But I believe one or more of the speakers wasn't working.
