The Great American Supercar: Why the Ford GT Soars in Value

Bill Nelson wasn’t looking for an investment, just a thrill. So nine years ago the then 64-year-old retired engineer from Asbury, N.J. went to his local Ford dealer and put down $160,000 to buy the fastest and most expensive production car the company had ever built, the Ford GT.

“I’m a lifelong Ford guy,” he explains. “When I saw that car, I absolutely had to have one.”

The author of the article, Allen St. John, registered on the forum and was looking to get hooked up with someone to show him around the car. Got him together with william.a.nelson and now the piece is online and will be in the June print issue. Nice! Bill - you're famous!

Talked to the author today and he said his pics and video he took will be up online eventually. SWEET!

:cheers :biggrin

“I’m a lifelong Ford guy,” he explains. “When I saw that car, I absolutely had to have one.”

Exactly my story. I sure it is a common denominator here.

That was cool. I surely hope they produce more than 250 of the '17 GT.

Was this the guy with the 'secret mission' wanting to borrow a car?
