I just relooked at this car. I knew I should have put plastic on my laptop.

I can't see it being 550k when you can buy a left hook one for less than 200k.If thats the case is shipping and conversion worth 350k.

Yes conversion to RHD and all the engineering, fabrication of custom interior components and compliance testing is about 20 mins work by the 1st year apprentice......

Look at the pic. All they have done is unbolted the steering wheel and pedals and stuck them on the other side with km/h written on the speedo with nikko pen....

Is this really this first RHD conversion in the world on one of these? Seems like it would've been done already somewhere. I don't doubt it though, I can't find anything online to prove otherwise.

Australia is one of the few countries in the world that does not allow LHD cars (as in new, not antiques) so why would someone do it if they did not have to. In the UK all the GT40s sold new were LHD.

I can see all the work that has gone into the conversion.And yes its a fantastic job that has no doubt taken at least a year to perfect.But is still worth more than double the price of the car.Would there be any hidden charges as in import tax and so on?

Personally I think that have done a terrible job converting it.

How could you do handbrakies with the handbrake all the way over the other side? Also how would you get the tissues out of the glove box without having the gear stick get you in the ribs. I couldn't live with it!

I love where the speedometer is.

Imagine driving one of these in VIC with zero tolerance and having to look to the centre at the speedo the whole time. PITA

In a word yes.


500,000 might seem hexy, but thats the price you pay for an exotic export.

They are the factory "lightweight option" rims. The standard rims are these puppies:



I'd rather move to the U.S. for 12 months, buy a GT over there and drive it around in the States, touring the countryside (in a Ford GT mind you!), then bring it back to the N.T., get it licensed there as LHD, then bring it back to your state of origin running the N.T. plates.

Conclusion: Have a one year U.S. holiday in a GT and don't have to butcher it to RHD to drive it over here. Overall cost difference would be negligable.

Steering wheel as said before doesn't interest me...with the light reflection, looks like a BMW logo

But the car itself...wow...pity we're a small market...

I think the stripes are either a 'delete option' or an extra cost item. The black one does look pretty tough, though, without stripes and with the lightweight option wheels.

The Mustang Motorsport site has a cool feature so you can see the Ford GT colours, with and without stripes, and the wheel options...

Perhaps off topic:
A weeks ago I had a dream that Ford bought Mitsubishi's Adelaide plant and started doing RHD GTs, Mustangs and Fseries there for local use and export to other RHD countries.

I was a little peeved at being woken up by my alarm clock, needless to say.
