I have seen used Ford GT's in autoweek for sale as low as a 100K. I believe you could buy a real one for 100K - 125K all day long. This makes the economics of doing a replica of one difficult at best. The power train would be near 40K alone if you were to use the original power plant and gearbox.

However if you can find someone to let you splash a car to make some molds the you will only have Ford to contend with. I find it very difficult to believe that they would go along with selling copies of their GT. A one off would fly under the radar I would think but again the cost of doing a one off would really make the used car an attractive alternative.

Have a look at the ongoing GT90 thread for a preview of what would be required. Having a donner car would save building a scale body huck but not much else.

But if the task is calling you then by all means carry on! Oh and double the budget and the amount of time you think you can do it for. At least!
