Interesting today at Auction Americas Auburn...2005 Ford GT with 1,800 miles; white/blue stripes; all options; number 29 of 50 "VIP" cars sold for $300k + 10% buyer fee; $330k! Auction didn't say who the original owner was, but will these first 50 "VIP" cars command more in the future? Especially if it's not owned by a well known celebrity? I didn't know about these "VIP" cars until today. Nothing special about them other than these "VIPs" were given first crack at owning/spec'ing out a GT the way they wanted it?

Sure there is something special about the first 50. All of the first 50 were driven by GT Team Members on a quality assurance review :biggrin

Moral of story, at Rally 9, make sure McGowan drives your GT. It's apparently in your best financial interest!

Not including fees Heritage had 5500 miles, white 1800. Must be a worlds record for an 1800 mile white.

Hi, I purchased the 8 mile red/white stripes GT at Russo and Steele, 270+10%. Saw the one at Bonham's, fell in love. Bid on that one but didn't get it. I haven't followed these closely, have friends that own them, but obviously the prices are soaring, much to my chagrin, but hopefully my benefit now. I'm not quite sure what to do now. The guy at Russo and Steele seemed incredulous that I plan to drive it. Don't plan to drive it much, but thought a little. We also have a Ferrari 599. Scary fast. I suppose that the GT, with no traction aids is even scarier. Any suggestions regarding the car? I have the plastic film protection on the Ferrari; should I get the same on the GT? I think that from an industrial design standpoint (I design loudspeakers), it is just amazing, as is the 599. The GT, however, is gorgeous but mean, the Ferrari is gorgeous but elegant. All suggestions appreciated. Thanks, Sandy

Ypu ask some good questions but it would be buried in this topic for others. I would suggest you start a new topic so it will get the visibility it deserves.
