A similar turnkey from ERA would have been LOTS more than $ 90k.
A lovely car.

Cost more or sold for more?
I can see where it would have cost more, but ERA sale prices have been no stronger. It was only a couple of years ago that a quite nice ERA, driving, went for $72k. Wish I'd had the money to buy it. Another sold local to me in the 3Q of 2007 with period correct everything for $86k.
It is interesting what some of the cars go for. One learned gentleman I spoke with last year pointed out that with the relative ease of acquiring a GT40 nowadays, simply writing a check, that it would lead to more used cars for sale and lower prices. The reason? People that have newly fallen in love with the GT40 once they saw the new Ford GT, or recently learned about the GT40, aren't ready to live with the day to day compromises. They would see the car, love it, buy it, and in a few months move on to another toy.
That type of behavior really wasn't possible up until the last few years due to the lack of a mature turnkey GT40 market. However, it is definitely possible now and I would reckon we'll see more used turnkey GT40s out for sale from time to time. Good for buyers I'd think.
Again, all speculation on my part but I seem to detect a bit of a trend in that direction.
