The Ford GT is a classic car that can handle sitting in a garage for years and still come back to life with minimal effort. When The Cultivated Collector discovered a Ford GT that had been neglected for 15 years, they knew it wouldn’t take much to restore it to its former glory.
The fuel system of the car was in bad shape due to the gasoline deteriorating over time. The team had to clean out and replace all the parts that had been affected by the old gas. They even had to source Bosch fuel injectors since Ford didn’t have any Motorcraft parts available. After fixing the fuel system, the team replaced all the fluids, installed new tires, and tightened up the suspension with new rear toe links.
Restoring a Ford GT may not be cheap, but it’s definitely more affordable compared to other supercars like Lamborghinis or Ferraris. In a video documenting the restoration process, Ed emphasized the importance of driving these classic cars more often. He highlighted that the true beauty of owning a Ford GT is in using it and enjoying the experience of driving it.
So, if you’re lucky enough to own a Ford GT, take Ed’s advice and start driving it more often. These cars are meant to be on the road, not collecting dust in a garage. Let the engine roar and feel the thrill of owning a classic car that can still perform like a beast even after years of sitting idle. Drive your Ford GT and truly experience the joy of owning such an iconic piece of automotive history.
