Looking for a car for my buddy and came across this "Motorcraft" themed wrapped GT350.....

Why......just.......why......:tsk:

So they were using a GT350 as their parts delivery car?

Goodyear a sponsor ???

tax write-off?

Because it has heritage like the Gulf wraps that many people love so much. (Myself included.)

It's a mid-80s Roush Mustang Trans-Am livery that Ford ran quite successfully.

Doesn't work.....completely hides the beautiful lines of the car. Also the number position totally takes away from the fender flare/vent, which is a defining characteristic of the GT350.

Is it a rally car, why the dirt?

I get that and I like some of it to, but not on a DD (maybe it wasn't). I always kind of cringe when I see a NASCARed up Monte Carlo or some of the old pace care editions manufacturers used to do. But, as they say it is their money and to each their own.

It’s supposed to look weathered/used/raced/patina’d. There’s a bunch of wraps out there with this effect. Bright side of it, is that it’s no big deal if your car actually is dirty.

I rather like the gold sprayed wheels on the white.

This guy was on the Hot Rod Power Tour. I talked to him when the HRPT came through Indianapolis. He is a Ford dealer... Nice guy. The comment above about tax write-off is likely accurate though.

It's actually really funny you say that! My 15 year old son was with me--a complete car nut like me--and he looked the car over for a full minute before he realized that it was a GT350! The "1" on the passenger side, in particular, hides the fender vent... a little too well!

Cool. WWII American aircraft markings on a German car.

As an amateur WW2 historian (I do it for a hobby) I thought that was odd as well.
