Signature 7 is the third in a line of Camilo Pardo-commissioned Ford GTs
I’ve already shown you one Camilo Pardo Signature Series Ford GT, Blue Moon, but at the time I promised more, so here I present Signature 7, the third in the line of Camilo Pardo-designed appearance and performance upgrades. This one was a collaboration between Camilo Pardo and The GT Guy, both of them working with owner Sam Bayer.
More than a few Midnight Blue and Heritage GTs attended the rally
Attending the 10th Annual Ford GT Owners Rally was a homecoming on many levels, not the least of which was having my car sitting in the parking lot of Ford’s World Headquarters. My apprehension about shipping it was offset by my desire to attend the rally with my car, plus get a full service from the GT Guys and a full color correction from Esoteric Detail (all of which required the car to visit the Detroit area). I figured all these driving forces were reason enough to bring it to Detroit.
More than 100 Ford GTs assembled in front of Ford’s World Headquarters
On August 25th, 2015, exactly 10 years and 2 days after I picked up my Ford GT at Santa Monica Ford, the 10th Annual Ford GT Owners Rally kicked off in Detroit. My car had just completed a full mechanical refurbishment with the GT Guys before getting a full color correction and detail at Esoteric Detail in Columbus, Ohio.
Between the mechanical and cosmetic treatments my GT was feeling as “new” as it had in years when I pulled into Ford’s World Headquarters for a gathering of over 100 Ford GTs. Ford was kind enough to block off the parking lot in front of its headquarters so only Ford GTs could park in it.
My Ford GT visited Esoteric Detail in Columbus for a paint correction process
In the summer of 2014 I was attending an Acura press event and met an engineer with a (first-gen) Acura NSX. When I mentioned I had a 2005 Ford GT he told me about a detail shop capable of restoring the paint on older cars with micro-scratches. These scratches can be hard to see unless you know what to look for, but they have a devastating impact on a car’s appearance. It can mean the world to a car owner who is interested in vintage or classic cars and wants their car to look as good as new.
My Ford GT made its first visit to The GT Guys shop in August of 2015
After 10 years of owning my Ford GT I’d had it serviced almost exclusively by The GT Guys because of their extensive background and knowledge of all things Ford GT. These gentlemen worked at Roush, one of Ford’s engineering partners, when the 2005-2006 Ford GT was under development. However, I’d never had it serviced at their home shop because it’s located outside Detroit, approximately 2,300 miles from my home in Southern California. That all changed in August of 2015, when I shipped my car to The GT Guys’ garage ahead of the 9th Annual Ford GT National Owners Rally.
