I won't go into a long winded explanation of supply theory but I will say this much.

Assume someone with the money in hand wants to buy a something that more or less is a GT40 or close to it in the next few days here in the USA that he can drive right away and is currently registered and licensed, complete, and sorted. What I mean by sorted is that everything that should work does, the engine functions fine as well as the rest of the power-train and feels in general safe and fun to drive.

He has three choices as I see it. Buy a real GT40, buy a Ford GT, or buy a replica of a GT40.

I don't believe there are any real GT40's for sale at this time in the US and if there was it would be north of a million dollars, a long way north I would guess.

Ford GTs can be bought for about 140K here in the US, or about double 77K.

How many replica GT40s are for sale here in the US in the next day or so and are ready to drive away legally? One, two, three?

I close my case. $77K it is!
