Ford Competes with Marti Report!
WOW! For years we have all ran to the Marti Reports for verification of how our cars were built. They were the Bible for documentation of certain old Fords. Now Ford Motor Company is providing what appears to be nearly the same information. To me, documentation with the Ford Blue Oval on it will be more impressive than Marti’s logo.
What does all this mean? Is Ford competing with Marti? Will the information be identical? I have no idea at this point but we will soon find out. I have just ordered two Deluxe “Build Sheets” from the ShopFordGear.com web site. They say it will take 6 to 8 weeks to get the Reports.
Here is what the web site page looks like. It is very difficult to read one of the actual report pages but they certainly are not “build sheets”. In fact they look remarkably similar to the into on a Marti Report.
I have ordered one of these reports for our Ford Talladega (first production Talladega) and one for our SCJ Dan Gurney car. I will then compare them with the comparable Marti Reports and bring you a complete comparison. Two “Build Sheets” are available from Ford; the first is a Basic for only $17 and a Deluxe for $46. These prices are very similar to the Marti Reports.
We will bring you more info as soon as we have it!
Just received three of these reports for my late model cars {two Mustang Cobras & a Lightning} A rep called me from Ford and asked if I wanted them mailed or emailed {I chose mail so I would have authentic Ford literature} I am pleased with the results for the money.
Thanks Richard foir letting us know about this!
