**The One-of-a-Kind Ford GT: A $100,000 Paint Job**

Would you spend $100,000 on a paint job for your car? The Ford GT is one of the best-looking cars ever built, and this one in particular is even more special. In fact, it's one of a kind, and the thing that makes it one of a kind can't be reproduced on any other Ford GT because it's the law.

**A Tribute to the Original GT40**

The original Ford GT40 from the 1960s was, at the time, the pinnacle of engineering. We've done like 16 episodes on this channel about this car. This is the brand new Ford GT and the latest tribute to the original GT40. But it's also a tribute to the owner's uncle.

**A Stock Car with a Unique Modification**

This Ford GT is basically stock. There's only one modification done, and for good reason. It's almost perfect from the factory. So, how do you make a car that's perfect better? Well, if you're Justin Choi, you add $100,000 paint coat onto it.

**The Mystichrome Paint: A Unique Color**

This Ford GT has a unique color called Mystichrome, which is a tribute to the original Ford Mustang Cobra. You ever heard of it? That's a terrifying animal combo. Can you imagine? Just like hooves and fangs and a big old hood and spraying venom in your face?

The Mystichrome paint was first introduced on the SVT Cobra in 1996, and depending on the angle, it would appear emerald green, violet, blue, magenta, gold, even brown. The most exciting color, in my opinion. It was able to achieve that morphing effect with small transparent prism-like flakes mixed in with the paint that break up white light into various component colors.

**The Legacy of Mystichrome**

In 2004, SVT debuted another Cobra with an updated version of the Mystic paint that shifted from bright teal to a deep blue to purple, then finally to black. Even the seats were color-shifting. This color was developed by Ford's color and trim director, Alan Eggley, who dubbed it Mystichrome because it reminded him of chromed exhaust headers that change color due to the heat.

**A Special Paint Job**

The Mystichrome paint on this Ford GT is a special paint job that can't be reproduced on any other Ford GT. It's treated like it's the Declaration of Independence. The first 250 of you guys who sign up with Butcher Box get two pounds of high-quality ground beef for the life of your subscription.

**The Owner's Story**

Justin chose a Ford to honor his late uncle, Bill Joe Pierce, a man who sold Fords for most of his life. He adopted Justin and his brother when they came over from Korea as young kids, so when it came time to pick the spec and trim of the car, Justin spared no expense. He wanted it to be unlike any Ford GT ever.

**A Final Touch**

The Mystichrome paint is a final touch that makes this Ford GT one-of-a-kind. It's a tribute to the original GT40 and the owner's uncle. And it's a reminder that even in the world of cars, there's always room for creativity and uniqueness.

pickthe spec and trim of the car,Justin spared no expense.He wanted it to beunlike any Ford GT ever.Let's take a closer look.Back in 2004, the Mystichromepaint was a $3,500 optionon the Cobra.It was so special that if oneof these ever got scratchedand the paint was messed upand needed to be repainted,A Ford employee had to handdeliver the Mystichrome paintto the shop that was repairing the car.Then, seal the can up after it was doneand hand deliver theunused paint back to Ford.They're treating the freaking paintlike it's the Declaration of Independence.- I'm going to steal it.- Ford SVT Mystichrome paint.Buying a Ford GT is atask in and of itself.There's an intense application process,and Ford doesn't sell GTs to just anyone.They want to make sure thatyou're going to drive the thingand not just hide it awaylike some museum piece.No, they want you to use it.When Justin got the callthat he had been approvedto buy a GT, he was soexcited that he said, "Whee!"I don't know for a fact, butI like to think that he did.I think that's what I would do.He wanted a specialcolor for his special carthat would set it apartfrom all the other GTsat the Cars and Coffee.That's when his friend Brad told himabout the Mystichrome Cobra.Justin fell in love with the colorand had some mock ups sent to Ford.They didn't respond for awhile, which made him nervous,but then they finally got back to him.Phew, what a relief.Turns out, they weren't ghosting.They loved the idea ofpainting a GT in Mystichrome,but they couldn't find it in the system,and they were trying tofigure out how to catalog it.What I mean by cataloging?Well.When you buy a GT,you get access to four levels of color.Level one starts at about 30 grand,and let's say that's likethe eight pack of Crayolas.Level four is at 60K, andthat's more like the 64 pack.Justin's color was so uniquethat Ford didn't even knowhow to invoice him for it.They needed to invent awhole new color level for it.Level five.(booms)This would ensure thatnot only would Justinget his specific Mystichrome color,but it would also lock that colorso no one else could use it, and also,it pushed the painting ofthe car to over $100,000.That's more than the priceof two brand new Mystichrome Cobras.For the paint!This car's smaller thana Mystichrome Cobra.Now, for you and me, that's a ton of moneyto spend on a paint job, butwithout that extra option,the color would be available to everyone,and then it wouldn't be one of a kind.That exact problem happenedto another GT ownerwho designed a color called Riviera Blue,but didn't get the extralevel five color option.Bad move, muchacho.As soon as people sawit, there were just a tonof other GTs in that exact same color.It started off being cool and rare,then became oversaturated,and the guy probablyis too embarrassed to evendrive the darn thing any more.And Justin made sure thatthat wouldn't happen to him.This car's got a really cute face,but I think the thing thatmakes it special is the booty.Let's go check it out.So yes, this paint is amazing.The color is absurd.Just walking from thefront of the car back here,it changed like 15 times.Over there I was looking at a green car.Back here, I'm looking at a purple one.To fully understand whythis car is so special,not just the paint, we need to understandwhy the Ford GT is so special.The GT is only 43.7 inchestall at its highest point,which makes it one of thesleekest production carsthat exists.When you put it in the track mode,the suspension lowers thecar a further two inches,making it 41 inches high.Another thing that happens in track modeis the wing pops up, and it stays up.In any other mode, the wingwill go up at a certain speedand comes back down during braking.But not in track mode, baby.This is freaking Transformers stuff.- Sam Witwicky, you must find the AllSparkand put it in my butt.- Speaking of butts, thedual exhaust is in the centerwhich brings me to the oneperformance modificationthat sets this car apart from other GTs:the Heffner exhaust system.I cannot wait to start this thing upand hear that hand built titanium exhaust,that was only availableon 45 production GTsthat came in a race only package.But Justin got one specialfor his street car.Apparently, it sounds really, really cool.I can't wait to hear it.Don't worry, I'm going to fire it up.Just wait, we're just not atthat part of the video yet.So stick around for that.To match the exhaust, there'svents in the tail lightsthat help vent air away from the turbos.All in all, it's a very cohesive package.From this angle, you canalso really understandthe teardrop shape thedesigners were going for.Aerodynamics were a bigpriority with the original GT40,and you can see that samephilosophy carried overinto this design.Now one reason they didn't use a V8in a car that historically had a V8 in itis because all of the spacethey lost using this shape.This is all the room thatthey had to fit an engine in.Look, these are just open,so without this stuff,this looks iike an open-wheel car.It looks like an Indy car.There's not a lot of room to fita big old honking stinkingV8 or V10 or a V12.A lot of people werecomplaining that this carhad a V6 in it when it came out,but it's a pretty special V6.It makes perfect sense,and I think is reallyone of the more futuristicthings about this car.Ford chose a twin turbocharged 3.5 liter Ecoboost V6over a V8 not only out of necessity,but to showcase the capabilitiesof the Ecoboost line,this is a halo car.It's used to show off all thestuff that the company makes.And it's a pretty good engine.It makes 647 buff hrsprs, 550 torques.Some people think it'sthe engine from the F-150,and they're not completely wrong.It's very similar, but this onehas way more aluminum and bigger turbos.(groans)That's a lot of power baby!Especially in a car that weighsjust a little bit over 3,000 pounds.Now the engineers over at Ford were ableto keep the weight downby using lots and lots of carbon fiber.The chassis is a carbon fiber monocoquewith lightweight aluminumsubframes on the front and rearwhich are covered in carbon fiber panels.The windows and windscreenare even special.They're made out of gorilla glass,which is thinner and strongerthan traditional auto glass.Fun fact, it's named after my dad.Now, there are a few thingsthat really stand outabout the design of this car.The biggest is probably(screams)the flying buttresses.Where normally there wouldbe, you know, more car,there's nothing.These things strengthen the chassis.They double as a way to funnelair into the engine bay.There's ducts inside of them, and they,no, not ducks, ducts, inside of them,that transfer air from theside vent straight throughto the engine bay.Which is good, cause you gottwo big old honking turbos under there.Two spinny boys, getting all hot.The cabin ends right here.Now, I've been in a lot ofsmall cars on this show.I am not sure I am goingto fit inside of this one.Let's find out.(sighs)I did it.This thing is so small.This is actually not the first timeI've sat in one of these,but when these cars came outI was like yes, that isit, that is my dream car.Let's build an automotive media empire,and I will buy one of those.And then I sat in it, andmy dreams were crushed.Oh well, there's plenty of cars.This one is very cool though.Now when he bought thecar, Justin took a tourof the Multimatic plant in Canadawhere they were makinghis GT and found outthat the man in chargeof finishing operationswas none other than AlanEggley, the same guywho pioneered the Mystichrome paintfor the original Cobra.That's cosmic, dudes!I believe that thingsare connected, all right?We're all just star dust.This is a little bit more proof of that.There is no Mystichrome painton the interior of the car.The only reason I'm in hereis so we can start it up.(motor runs)(engine revs)It sounds pretty good.That's a pretty good sounding V6.Okay? (chuckles)So, at the end of the day,it's a $100,000 paint jobon a $500,000 car.That's absurd, but people do absurd thingsin the supercar scene all the time,and this one's pretty cool, pretty good.Very good job.I like it a lot.Big thanks to OVC Mustangsfor hosting us today.These dudes have a cool garagewhere they're building 36 GT350 cars.Follow them on Instagram at OVC Mustangsor online at ovcmustangs.com.Carroll Shelby's signature is on a wallthat I can see right now.He's my favorite dude in cars.It's really crazy to be here.You gus should follow him on Instagram.Also, thanks to Justin forloaning us this car for the day.To see more of this car,follow him on Instagramat J-C-H-W-A.Jchwa.And follow me on Instagramat Jamespumphrey.I love you.How do I get out?Oh God, I can't get it up there.(upbeat music)
