[MOD] 76905 Police Ford GT

[BrickMonkeyMOCs]

I missed out on buying the 2021 76905 Ford GT as I wasn't yet sold on the 8-wide cars, didn't want the Bronco, and wasn't a huge fan of the blue/orange color scheme or the half-printed/half-stickered racing stripe. Since the Speed Champions theme really hit its stride in 2022 I've been collecting many more and I've always missed not having this one, so I decided to build a recolored version and then BrickLink for the parts. I started in all black, but then wanted to better highlight the teardrop body-shaping so I switched to making a black & white police version for better contrast.

         

There are a few further minor tweaks from the excellent original Lego design, with changes to the bonnet vents, side skirts, engine, diffuser, and exhausts, and it can also be built with the spoiler either up or down. I've put Studio instructions on Rebrickable, and the parts list includes the few spares needed to build it all in plain black as well. (And if you're wondering where I got the black-printed windshield, it's from the 76907 Lotus Evija with the yellow stripe removed.)
