| They're both absolutely beautiful cars no doubt. I could afford a Ford GT but I way prefer the simplicity and rawness of the older GT40. Of course, if I could simply pick one I'd pick the Ford GT because I could sell it and buy a GT40 replica and put $90K in the bank. In other words, on a price-dependent basis I'll go for the older replica every time for the bang-for-the-buck factor. There's something really cool about running over to Napa for a $5 rotor and a $11 distrib cap....slapping those in there with a new fuel, oil and air filter and some oil and plugs all for less than $100.
Ultimately, I'm hoping the used Ford GT prices come down to the sub-$100K range at some point and then the newer car starts looking more like a bargain than an overpriced hyper exotic so I can put one next to the other in my garage. In the meantime I'll be putting a lot of miles on my CAV. |
