Too bad, it was a good Northeast location and a great facility with excellent amenities. The track people were great to work with for the GT 60th event. It will be missed.

The Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix does a sweepstakes car every year to raise funds for the Autism charities they support. Last two years were C8 Corvettes, one a Z51. But after hosting the 2024 GT Reunion they pulled all the stops out......the 2025 Sweepstakes award car is a Superformance GT40 MK I in Gulf livery powered by a Roush 427 Windsor with Webers! Or you can take $175,000.00, but you know all your car friends will shun you for the rest of your life if you do.

To enter go here and use the code "autoventure" for extra entries https://www.tapkat.org/pittsburgh-vintage-grand-prix-association/8548n5?promo=autoventure

Good luck and we expect to see this GT40 at the next SAAC convention!

Last year the charity giveaway car was a Corvette Z06....nice, but no GT! A Gulf spec Superformance GT40 MK I is the giveaway this year. Roush 427, Quaife transaxle and buildout by Olthoff Racing, valued at over $250,000.

This raffle has raised millions for the charities the PVGP supports and this year we expect a record. You can purchase entries and receive additional entries as well as some GT Reunion premiums with this code: https://mailchi.mp/pvgp/rickmuck

You can purchase entries for gifts and keep the premiums for yourself (we won't tell!)

We have some inventory on many of these items from the 2024 GT Reunion. https://fordgtreunion.com/merch/ 

The metal signs are on heavy steel and enameled; they are not the regular tin pressed stuff you see at swap meets. The Miles P1015 prints are the last of the 50 limited edition, artist signed prints as now displayed at the Shelby American Collection in Boulder. Reunion apparel is still available, and you can customize shirts with your name, car number, etc.

Now available, new 'Repromod" 67 GT500 and GT350s. https://hitechlegends.com/

I have seen them and whatever your take is on "Continuation/replica/etc." cars, these are very well built. Done by Hi Tech Automotive in South Africa the body is not an off the shelf Dynacorn but rather assembled by Hi Tech in their own jigs and fixtures. The people I know who have driven them were impressed with the handling and solid feel of the chassis.

With Revology and others in the Repromod business, Hi Tech was determined to be different and provide what they feel is a superior product.

I have no connection with these other than being friends with the factory owner so no skin in the game for me.

We have organized a 60th anniversary event to encompass all 'Ford GT" cars. In conjunction with the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix event at Pitt Race July 26-28, 2024.

Original FAV/JWA cars, Kar Kraft cars, continuation cars such as Safir, Superformance, Holman Moody, etc. cars as well as Ford Powered replicas such as ERA, Toronado, SGT, etc. are welcome as well. The 05-06 Ford GTs will be there as well as the new 2017-up GTs. If it is a Ford GT with two seats and the engine behind the driver, it will be there. We already have commitments for some historic cars to attend so stay tuned.

We have six acres of paved area for parking and display. Your "Master" entry will get you and your GT in with secured parking for your car as well as trucks and trailers. Nighttime security is by the Pennsylvania State Police.

Your entry will get you a lanyard with your I.D., car chassis number, possibly a picture of the car, and indicate all of the events you are signed up for. A "swag bag" with numerous GT related items and other things will be included as part of your entry.

Additional crew, family, friends, etc. will be issued lanyards at a modest cost.


There will be several vendors with GT related items including cars on site.

Friday evening a gathering will be held in a hotel, the Pittsburgh Marriott North about 20-25 minutes from the track. This will include a one hour no-cost beer and wine bar, a dinner with three choices of menu and an after-dinner program of speakers, videos, meet and greets and more. If you don't want to buy the dinner, you are still welcome to attend after the dinner for a small fee. There will be a cash bar available.

We will have four "on track" events over the three days. These include:

Paced, but spirted laps for all cars that purchase the option. Passengers will be allowed, and no helmets are required.​

"Open track" time. This will require tech inspection and helmets, no passengers. This is also an extra cost option.​

A "GT only" race on Sunday. This will require a prepared car with full race safety equipment, i.e., fuel cells, roll bars, etc. the driver must hold competition license from a recognized organization such as SVRA, SCCA, HSR, etc. This is an optional item with extra cost.

Cars entered for the GT race may also compete in the PVGP "Ground Pounder" class for additional track time including practice and race event. This also extra cost but selecting this will include the GT race at no extra cost. See Race Groups – PVGP Historics | PVGP.​

Additional, GT owners will have the opportunity to provide rides during the lunch break. These are done to raise money for the PVGP charities. People pay for a one lap ride around Pitt Race and there is a long line of people looking for a once in a lifetime experience in a GT. Fun for both driver and his guest passenger and a benefit to the charities.

Lots more information to come. We will have costs, a list of hotels with special pricing and more shortly. Our websites will go live in a couple of weeks and news and details will be on them.

To get on the list for email details please email: info@fordgtreunion.com and put "GT reunion" in the subject line.

We already have a couple of SAAC member who are helping with the event, i.e. with registration, parking and other portions of the event. Participant registration will be via MSR as with SAAC Conventions.

Looking forward to seeing everyone and everyone having a great time! We can't wait.
