Ford GT TV
Look for a television series dedicated to the Ford GT to air this summer
By Steve Turner
This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Ford GT. These amazing cars were built to celebrate Ford’s centennial, but they deserve a celebration of their own. To mark this anniversary there is a new television series on the way. It will bring you the behind-the-scenes story of the creation of these iconic super cars.
“Ford GT, An American Icon is a new, original multi-episode, nationally televised program series. The series will be available in Summer, 2015. Ford GT, An American Icon takes an in-depth look at one of the most revered American sports cars in history,” says the description of the promo video. “From its racing roots at the famed 24 Hours of Le Mans to the limited availability as a consumer model, the Ford GT is legendary among car enthusiasts. We meet the engineers, technicians, drivers and current owners of this extraordinary racing machine.”
Check out the preview video right here:
These truly are special cars. Having driven several of them, we can say they are super cars that you could comfortably drive daily. Any fan of Ford performance should look forward to watching this series. Once the air dates are available, we will be sure to pass the information along.
The video says it isn’t available in my area (Japan). What channel will this series be shown on?
They haven’t given out the channel or air times yet. As soon as they do, we’ll be sure to post it.
Velocity channel.
Looking forward to seeing the struggles this group faced and how they surpassed them (such as the control arm debacle, etc).
Can not wait to see this.
Pretty awesome they’re making this show. I can’t wait to see it either. I met the host Joey at All Ford Nationals in Carlisle…pretty nice guy and definitely a Ford GT man! I bought his book, he put his “John Hancock” in it for me, we talked about his GT’s that he has…yep, a few of them.

If you liked last years show, you wont want to miss this years’ at Carlisle.

My first post on this Forum!
You will have a wonderful time at Carlisle this year. Lance and the entire staff are looking at 200 plus Ford GT’s.
From Prototypes to one offs and everything in between. Of course I will be there with CP-1, at building T with both books and new merchandise for sale.
It will be a once in a life time event if your a GT fan or owner….
Look for SEMPRE GT , It will be giving rides to kids and veterans along the way!
Enjoy

Thanks for posting, Joey. That sounds pretty awesome!
Thank you, I’ve just been turned on to this site by a regular Don Carson, who is also a Ford Gt owner. Most don’t know that ALOT of GT owners have many, Mustang and Lightning pickup trucks as well. Me I still have my 2006 LINCOLN LT pickup, 1965 mustang coupe , 1956 thunderbird 312 and a 1930 Model A rumble seat coupe.
I traveled the globe with the Shelby mustang group through Europe as well.
Anyone wanting a book can go to GTJOEY.COM, Its not a forum, its a site just for me and the merchandise…..
Thanks again, will keep you all informed as the dates for the show get closer.
Thanks again
Enjoy

A.F.N. in Carlisle is a great show! I’ve been going for the past 8-9 years, and definitely plan on attending this year. I really enjoyed the book I bought at the show, and look at it still from time to time. I look forward to buying the other one…”Around the World in a Ford GT (almost)”, as well. You may not remember, but you let me sit in your GT and my daughter afterwards…i got some great pictures of us. Thanks for that! I was surprised how comfortable I was in it. I thought there would be a lot less room inside, but it was perfect, and the visibility good, too. Its a memory I’ll have for ever!
Ramon, Remember it well, we had over 300 people sit and take pictures in the car…..Will do the same this year. I do it because it gives people a chance to dream and hopefully one day become the caretaker of these great rides.
You gotta dream….
I did with my slot car set in the 1960’s……and now look.!
See you all there in June.
