Did the Ford GT get here?

You know... this one.


Did it ever get sold here? Are there any in the country?

Ford GT now in Australia

The awesome Ford GT is now available in Australia - converted to right hand drive and with full ADR compliance.

[edit] sorry for the repost. I'm not sure but seem to remember reading somewhere that there are three GTs in Oz?

Nope. The S821.

Ford Australia has had a GT for a while, but it just sits in one of their offices and never gets driven.

It may be here, but wont be registered, much like the Enzos, F50s, etc.

Only chance of a registerable car would be to buy and use it outside the country for atleast 12 months then bring it in as a private import. Still not an assurance it will pass even then.

Yep, that'll get you a 996 Turbo or brand new 997, early model 360 and a lot better metal than a GT500.

I cant see why anyone would look at a GT import. As a country, we make some of the best replica GT40's in the world, and you can probably pick up a turn-key car for $120K. Might even get one for $100K minus an engine and gearbox, as alot of them are only 302's with a 5 speed Getrag. $20-$50K should pick up a pretty decent engine and transmission from the US. I know of one particular company that can do a all alloy 6L supercharged V8 based on the 5.4.

The P1 car club has just purchased a GT in RHD and will be bringing it to Australia for use of its members.
