The latest edition of Classic and Sportscar magazine in the UK says a 2005 Ford GT sold at the Barrett Jackson auction in America for £328,966 - that's pounds! In the same mag there is a dealer (in England) offering three Ford GTs in various colours for £140 grand each. I just don't understand why anyone would pay so over the odds for one... or are second hand ones really rare in the States?
The expensive one was some sort of charity nonsense and the £ 140 is the landed sva'd vat paid cost of a US sourced new one with a bit of a mark-up in both USA & UK
A local fellow (retired Microsoft executive) who lives down the road a few miles ponied up USD$550,000 for the right to own the first 2005 Ford GT released to the public. If I'm not mistaken, this first GT is chassis #11, as the first ten were kept by Ford as test/R&D vehicles.
I have seen MANY new GT's in publications like autoweek for sale well under 160K USD. I even saw one "early" 2005 for 99.6K USD that had something like 45K miles on it. I think it was in one of the car mags in the last few months. Road & Track ?
The orginal price of $ 139ish was in hindsight fairly close to the mark I would say.
