See this is why I think the new car will be kept and driven sparringly because everyone sees the escalating prices of the current model. Low mile cars are going up up and away!!!! History should repeat itself even more with less 2016+ models out there. Still amazed that with the current model release the cars keep going up. Maybe the collectors are wanting to add a 05-06 model even more so now that the new one has come out.

I wonder when mileage will not be an issue.......another 5-10 years?
Obviously 0-300 mile cars will always get outrageous numbers......but at some point someone will care less about the mileage and more about possession.

Tonight was the first auction sales of the 05/06 cars since the introduction of the "New Ford GT"
I think we did GOOD !!

I don't know if that is totally true. My local (large) dealer owner in Las Vegas that I contacted to "get on his list" was totally mired in the Barrett Jackson thing buying stuff for his own collection. He knew that something was happening in Detroit on Monday but didn't know what, and it wasn't until Tuesday that he grocked the significance. I expect that many people caught up in the fever of the Pratte stuff will really not know what is going on with the new GT until Monday.
I've been to BJ in Scottsdale 5 times (I missed this year because my wife is out of town and I have be herd cats) but the sensation of Barrett Jackson is quite similar to a Grand Canyon River Trip - you have no concept of the rest of civilization until the day after the takeout.

quote: "the sensation of Barrett Jackson is quite similar to a Grand Canyon River Trip - you have no concept of the rest of civilization until the day after the takeout" very well put !!! it is so true. you are totally oblivious to the outside world when you're there. it's even worse when you have your own cars going over the auction block. I had cars out there years ago and lost my preverbial ass on the whole deal. not for the faint hearted!
personally I thought the #003 GT would have gone much higher than that. jmo

Chris... I also wonder. I posted a few weeks ago that it seems like low mileage salvage cars go for more than high mileage cars (20-50k) with no accident history. Doesn't make sense to me either.

$473,000 including buyers fee seems like plenty for a 3000 mile Heritage car to me. Lets not get greedy now : ) $200,000 extra for a paint job would sound pretty good to me.
You want nuts at BJ? http://www.barrett-jackson.com/Arch...ELBY-GT500-CONVERTIBLE-CARROLL-SHELBYS-178452
$550,000?

I thought the same thing. You mean the ones in those pink floor length dresses? Television was not very flattering to most of them.
