Doug the type of guy to review a car 3 times. This is why Matt watson has 3 million more followers. While Doug is being completely biased towards what he reviews. (Cause 90% is directly sold through his website) Matt watson does normal reviews to the people who want to afford normal cars they can use. And he also does drag races, supercar reviews, screwing around with electric cars. *That is how you should run a car review channel*
@@purplehazeffclmao I love whenever ppl point that out, I just find it so silly 😂 kinda like when modern Maserati parts go bad, u can just replace it with the corresponding Dodge/Chrysler part for like 2% of the price ☠️☠️
When is the last time your window switches, side-view mirror adjustment, or power locks went bad? Maybe my car is too "parts bin" but I think those are all pretty rock solid, even when made with nicer materials and polish.
@@hreb Mine never have but I've never owned a GM product either. I've driven a LOT of low mileage GM vehicles - usually Chevy trucks & crossovers - for work & they ALWAYS had knobs and switches and buttons popping off, breaking in half, etc.
@@hreb I remember about 10-15 years ago I hopped out of my buddy's Chrysler Concorde (maybe LHS) and the plastic door handle just entirely came off. We tried to put it back together & piece by piece the door started coming off until we quit. Also, I think it was TRL Trucking but one of the new car UA-camrs I watch got a brand new GMC Hummer & immediately its interior switches started flying off & breaking.
So cool you were able to collab with Larry. I've been watching his videos for years. His educational videos have taught me an extraordinary amount in automotive detailing. I make surprising money detailing out of my driveway as a side gig, and that's thanks largely due to a few good youtube channels. Larry's channel being a big part of that. Beautiful car, great video. As always, well done.
Would you say car detailing is a good business to do on the side still? Saving for a house and a side gig like that sounds so much better than a "normal job".
I love how Doug actually drives his cars. That is the kind of car owner I aspire to be. I had two cars at once and I definitely see how one can get neglected as one of mine ended up sitting as life got really busy for me. Still, cars are meant to be driven so drive the darn thing!
The cutout was not because of the bubble, it was to make getting in and out faster for driver changes. And the bubble was not to acomodate an helmet, it was because Dan Gurney was too tall to fit - the other drivers fit well enough, even with a helmet on.
I believe you, but how exactly did having a bit of the roof come out with the door make driver changes faster? I honestly can't think of a motion or angle during ingress/egress that this feature would simplify/quicken.
@@moogle68 As a tall and heavyset man who owns a relatively small and low convertible, I find it pretty obvious. 😂 The difference in "difficulty" (and so, if I'm in a hurry, in speed) in which I can get in and out whether I have the top up or down would be significative in a race setting. 😂 Keep is ming that's not a tall SUV, but a very low race car. Watch any driver change on the GT40 and see how they do it - they put one hand on the center of the roof, another on the door, and basically jump in with both feet. Remember Porsche put the ignition slot on the left side of the wheel so the drivers could turn the key and put the car in first gear at the same time, so you realize every fraction of a second counts. 😉
Thank you! As a kid I was a huge fan of the original Speed Racer animated series. This Ford GT in white with the the blue stripe, kinda hearkens back to that Mach 5 race car to me. I know they're both completely different styling, but just something about it that transports me back to when I was a kid watching that series. Maybe it's the white and stripe, maybe it's the analog look and feel, maybe the racing heritage. Whatever it is, I just truly love this car. Kudos to Larry for a great restoration. Thanks for sharing.
I stopped in to a local dealership to look at one of these when I was 18 or 19. It's been my dream car since it came out but in spite of actually being fairly successful so far in life I'm no closer to being able to afford one now than I was 18 years ago thanks to their incredible appreciation in value.
Shout out to Larry from AMMONYC for bringing this left outside and forgotten icon back to its former glory. Any vehicle that Larry works on, you know it's in the best condition it can be because he is meticulous!
I love Larry. Just a good dude and great to learn from someone who's an expert at their craft, even if you only use a fraction of his knowledge on your own cars. Every little bit helps.
There were 4 of these at Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix this year. Red, Black, Dark Blue, and a Silver/Gray with a whipple supercharger. Pretty cool to see 4 in one place.
"The Chase" from Superspeeders, in Rob's Ford GT, totally hooked me on this car. The sound. The high speed handling. The ease of acceleration. Absolutely my dream car.
You make a good point at the end. Buying a car because it is rated very high versus rating a car very high because you have bought it. A bunch of people fail to differentiate.
Hey Doug, These special doors have a historical background in relation to Le Mans: as soon as the race started, the drivers who had been standing at the starting area until then had to run across the track to their cars. Here Ford's innovative door design helped the drivers to get in faster. However, this traditional start was abolished after Ford's 4th Le Mans victory in 1969. Here‘s a little digression as to why this start no longer exists in this form today, I hope it helps: At the same time (1969), Ford driver Jacky Ickx, protested against this type of race start, in that he and his team-mate Jackie Oliver only "walked" slowly to the car and did not run, as they considered this relay start to be too dangerous. They were also to be proved right, British amateur driver John Woolfe, who was driving the only privately entered 917, had a fatal accident. In addition, debris from the car hit Amon's Ferrari, among others. Apart from the original idea of being able to get into the car more quickly, it is a beautiful reminisce of Ford's 4 victories at the time and is still something very special. It‘s a thoroughly iconic car which certainly has its "quirks and features" but that's what makes the car so lovable and desirable! PS Another benefit could be that there is more headroom for people wearing helmets (I think I saw once that the roof provides more headroom over the driver and passenger seats, but I'm not sure about this) Thank you for showing us this timeless masterpiece!
Doug, such a great iconic car. I have a client that bought the original prototype test rack car that was used to develop these. It is signed by Carol Shelby and all of the crew that worked on it. I had heard rumours of a non street legal Ford that this guy had bought, but know you could really tell me what it was. Then one day when I was down doing some work on his property, I asked what this mysterious car was. They took me to the detail bay that they have, and when the hydraulically controlled carriage doors opened, there it was. I couldn’t believe it. So incredible.
Doug- I know this comment will probably get lost but I know you sometimes read these. Been following you from the Jalopnik days! When you asked the Ammo guy, "Why dont you just get one of these?" Well I'm sure he's wealthy and all but there are going to be probably 500k others who hear that cringe a little bit. This is the third or fourth time in the last couple months when you've drop some line about your wealth that really made you seem out of touch. I'll still watch your videos, and it isn't like you talking like this will likely turn anyone away, but I'm here to say stick to your roots, be humble, and don't change!
The “little flap” Doug talks about near the end is a Gurney Flap and they are very commonly placed on the end of spoilers, especially in racing. Ironically enough the Gurney Flap is named after (and invented by) racer Dan Gurney, who was one of the drivers who raced in the GT40 at various events including Le Mans.
The "bubble" in the roof part of the door (@ 8:59) was also added only to the GT40's that Dan Gurney drove because he was HUGE for a racecar driver at 6'4", plus helmet. It's the Gurney Bubble that goes with the Gurney Flap.
It is one of my all time favorite super cars also… just so awesome. The Hennessy Venom GT used the six speed gearbox out of this car. I believe it was built by Ricardo. Not sure if they modify it in any way to beef it up to handle the 1000hp in that car but I’ve heard them say that it is an excellent gearbox.
the nice part of having other ford parts is if something breaks you just buy the replacement for 5 dollars, versus any other brand costing you 100 times as much, unless you happen to find the origin part from a volvo or whatever they used
That little flap on the rear deck is called a gurney flap and you can see it on a lot of racing cars. You can even see it on many current F1 cars' rear spoiler.
This car is so iconic. Just such an amazingly cool look to it. I remember using this car in racing games back in the day and I was always like WHAT IS THAT THING
I saw a Heritage Edition model a couple of weeks ago (had the number 8 on it). It is easily the coolest and rarest American car I've ever seen, and 4th rarest I've seen overall.
Well done Doug…I adore mine and would never sell it. Would add that the pad leading to the shifter often notches your elbow which isnt the best design. You called out the doors which while cool to show someone, are a pain to actually get in and out of. Add racing headers, if you get lucky and can find a pair, and the exhaust note is sublime. Best exotic car.
I've always liked your format. It's simple and works as easy watching. But I think you should start including the owners in your drive more often, especially if it's owned by someone interesting.
There was a missed opportunity to connect this to the race car. The little aerodynamic device on the back that reduces lift is called a Gurney flap after the race driver Dan Gurney, who developed it. And, he won Le Mans in the car. Furthermore, the bubble in the roof was there for him as he was over 6ft tall!
I spotted one selling in Brazil with lambo doors. They made it way more practical due to their shape. It should have been a factory feature from the beginning.
God that livery is. astounding. No other word for it tbh. No offense to your GT, Doug, but that darkish blue (which looks darker than ford blue?) with white stripes looks like a 2005 mustang. This is just so clean and sharp and it so clearly takes from the old Shelbys and even 50s/60s track Porsches.
Doug- I have always kept my eye on FGT market since the cars went on sale in late 2004, I assure you whoever told you that prices were under $100k does not know that they are talking about. Decent examples with clean history bottomed out in the mid $120’s around 2009 timeframe and stayed in that range till around 2011, by 2012 ish they were beginning to slowly rise up
He didn't used to do that, but has been since a year or two. Makes me wonder that that's why he also redoes some of the same cars, because maybe he showed full keys in those videos. Aside from them being for sale on C&B.
They were less than 150k new. Closer to 125k as they didn’t sell well, so actual less than msrp. I remember everyone saying why would you spend over a $100,000 on a Ford.
Great video! The 2005 Ford GT is a truly iconic car that is both beautiful and capable. It's a shame that they only made so few of them, but I'm glad that I got to see one in person. Thanks for sharing
I worked with a dude that was a part of the engineering team for the GT and he had some crazy stories. I wish I would have grabbed a beer with him for a few dedicated story times, but just the few I got when working around him were awesome still
Dude, we get it. It’s been like 2 years since Doug made the change, and he’s already established several times that he’s no longer doing DougScore categories. He took his viewers’ feedbacks, and he rolled with it. Commenting the same thing on every video probably just annoys the hell out of Doug, because he’s already explained, in SEVERAL of his videos, why he stopped individual categories for the DougScore (and it makes even more sense now that Doug has a family to care for along with other priorities in life.)
No matter how many comments you make with this exact same complaint, Doug isn't gonna bring it back because he HIMSELF said that he will not include it again
This car has been my dream car since I was a kid of 13. I'll never drive, let alone own one, but it's such a goddamn beauty, enough to make me cry just looking at the gorgeous shapes of it, the sound of its engine and the overall quality of it.
It took a moment to realize you were talking about the Retro Birds that shared the platform with the LS. MN12 Cougars and Thunderbirds were built in Lorain Ohio, except for some built at Wixom during a strike as I recall. They also assembled knockdown kits in Mexico to humor Mexican trade policy I forget the reason.
Clarkson from Top Gear crapped on this car with his usual propaganda (as he does literally any American car) which is what brought the market down. Then people realized this car was truly epic.

Doug is the kind of guy to review a spectacularly detailed car that is about to go on sale, and drive it in the rain for 10 minutes without even punching the gas.
I wish he’d gone into some detail for the rationale behind the door design. It makes it easier to step over the broad sills. Unlike gullwings and scissor doors, you can open them in most garages.

Decent examples with clean history bottomed out in the mid $120’s around 2009 timeframe and stayed in that range till around 2011, by 2012 ish they were beginning to slowly rise up
The idea they put two additional locks for the clamps is so crazy. They’d be so smooth to use if the locks were tied into the door locks.
This may have already been said, but the interior door release handles are from the 2000's f series trucks along with the dash hvac vents
I love how he covered the key design, because it’s been proven people can just create it online and steal the car.. unfortunately.
He didn't used to do that, but has been since a year or two.
Makes me wonder that that's why he also redoes some of the same cars, because maybe he showed full keys in those videos.
Aside from them being for sale on C&B.
This color combination with those wheels... the perfect ford gt.
Nice job, Larry. This car is beautiful!
When I first saw one in person in 2007 getting serviced at a Ford dealership, it has become one of my dream cars to own, right behind the Mclaren F1.
They were less than 150k new. Closer to 125k as they didn’t sell well, so actual less than msrp. I remember everyone saying why would you spend over a $100,000 on a Ford.
Had 3 of these, one tuned to 850bhp, absolutely fantastic cars. Its a shame their prices have gone crazy recently, but not surprising.
What's a shame is you sold yours before they appreciate it so much. 😂
@@ButterfatFarms Yep !
Great video! The 2005 Ford GT is a truly iconic car that is both beautiful and capable. It's a shame that they only made so few of them, but I'm glad that I got to see one in person. Thanks for sharing
I worked with a dude that was a part of the engineering team for the GT and he had some crazy stories. I wish I would have grabbed a beer with him for a few dedicated story times, but just the few I got when working around him were awesome still
This is my favorite hybrid video - Doug and Larry!
Honestly, I miss the breakdown of each category in the Doug Score. It was interesting to see WHY Doug gave each score.
Dude, we get it. It’s been like 2 years since Doug made the change, and he’s already established several times that he’s no longer doing DougScore categories. He took his viewers’ feedbacks, and he rolled with it. Commenting the same thing on every video probably just annoys the hell out of Doug, because he’s already explained, in SEVERAL of his videos, why he stopped individual categories for the DougScore (and it makes even more sense now that Doug has a family to care for along with other priorities in life.)
No matter how many comments you make with this exact same complaint, Doug isn't gonna bring it back because he HIMSELF said that he will not include it again
Everytime this guy comments this, I can afford a used Mirage
He'll bring that back when he brings back the drive-by shots.
Agree
Doug, my favorite rich used car salesman 😊
Love to see Doug review the Ford GT in his new format. Such an awesome iconic car!!!
That was also a commercial flop
This car has been my dream car since I was a kid of 13. I'll never drive, let alone own one, but it's such a goddamn beauty, enough to make me cry just looking at the gorgeous shapes of it, the sound of its engine and the overall quality of it.
Have hope in your self. Hope you get one.
the fact they built these in the SAME factory as the Lincoln LS and the Last of the Thunderbirds is crazy.
Didn't those both use the rare 3.9?
@@valeriezorn9420 Yep, Jaguar designed, American built 243Ci V8.
It took a moment to realize you were talking about the Retro Birds that shared the platform with the LS. MN12 Cougars and Thunderbirds were built in Lorain Ohio, except for some built at Wixom during a strike as I recall. They also assembled knockdown kits in Mexico to humor Mexican trade policy I forget the reason.
What kind of MONSTER parks one of these outside?!
Ah yes, the good old regular Doug Ford GT review.
It's tradition!
Today’s modern technology and modern. ” TABLETS EVERYWHERE “ can never beat the old and classic designs . OLD IS GOLD ❤
Doug’s the type of guy to lean on a freshly detailed car just so he can add a layer of Doug Skin Oil for a extra layer of protection!! 🤣🤣
very first thing i noticed was the wheels, and yes i agree theyre the better option too
this car is so good, bro had to review it again
I hope the GT90 will be featured some day, its my favorite car in Need For Speed II
I genuinely hate this car
I still remembered a lot to this 2005 Ford GT when i used it for the 1st time on Gran Turismo 4. The GOATED GRAN TURISMO GAME!
Clarkson from Top Gear crapped on this car with his usual propaganda (as he does literally any American car) which is what brought the market down. Then people realized this car was truly epic.
Wow! As big of a fan as i am of the Ford GT, I was BLOWN AWAY when he mentioned the 100 in the headlights! I somehow never heard that before!
Happy to see you three together doing an episode.
Speaking of parts bin stuff, the AC vents are from:
•2008-Present Ford E-Series
•2005-2014 Ford Expedition
•2004-2008 Ford F-150
•2008-2016 Ford F-250 - F-750 Super Duty
•2005-2009 Ford Mustang
•2006-2009 Lincoln MKZ (Zephyr)
Doug is the kind of guy to review a spectacularly detailed car that is about to go on sale, and drive it in the rain for 10 minutes without even punching the gas.
I wish he’d gone into some detail for the rationale behind the door design. It makes it easier to step over the broad sills. Unlike gullwings and scissor doors, you can open them in most garages.
