GN34<br><br>I just did some google searches; the most intersting<br>info is here:<br><br>http://carmemories.com/lists/shelbymustang/msg09601.html<br><br>and more:<br><br>Two weeks after the Ford GT concept was unveiled at<br>the 2002 North American International Auto Show, Bill<br>Ford asked Neil Ressler to consult on the feasibility<br>study to turn the concept into reality. Ressler - then<br>in semi-retirement - was ideal for the task, as he was<br>involved with two previous mid-engine programs: In the<br>mid-1980s, Ressler worked on a Ferrari 308 competitor,<br>code-named GN34; in the '90s, Ressler spearheaded the<br>Petunia project, another two-seat, mid-engine sports<br>car that evolved into the Ford GT concept car. <br><br>and another:<br><br>  Richards quest for achieving quality and finding<br>ways to save money for corporations has been a<br>lifelong passion.  His early career was spent at<br>General Motors for nine years where he gained hands on<br>assembly line 
experience.  His subsequent 26 year<br>career at Ford Motor Company led him from process<br>engineering to supplier quality assurance/systems<br>management for cars and trucks to product planning. <br>One of his most significant contributions was the key<br>role he played as Product Planning Manger in the<br>development of the 1986 Taurus.  The building of the<br>core team, his ability to foster teamwork and<br>appreciate the strength that diversity brings is one<br>of Richards greatest talents. <br>      Richard lived out his life long dream while at<br>Ford during the mid-80s.  He was part of the team<br>that developed a flagship model sports vehicle code<br>named, GN34.  The project was put on hold due to<br>changes in currency and economic changes in the U.S. <br>However, after 20 years of waiting, he can see his<br>dream come to life in the new GT40.  <br><br><br><br>--- van Oss <vanOss@centurytel.net> wrote:<br><br>> In the annals of SHO lore, what concept car was
