I'm surprised it didn't sell.

There were a TON of no-sells at this auction. I wouldn't put a lot of weight on this car selling or not selling honestly. I don't remember seeing so many no-sells at an RM auction...

But with a reserve at $750 somebody could have picked up the cheapest NFGT yet sold.

Wow, had no idea reserve was set so low. Anyone know what color that was? Couldn’t find it in the auction description.

Wholeheartedly agree. Those who want NFGTs should be patient.

Gentlemen,

+1 on the above. Those who got an allocation intimated the car would be used, enjoyed and on public display. Owners who are not living up to that are missing out on a lot of fun. My new GT is over two years old now with 4500+ miles, two trips to Atlanta, several road rallies, over 100 car shows, and nearly 50 people have driven it. It's not for sale and I don't care how much my driving it is causing depreciation. I hope it's the last car I operate before I meet my maker and that Charley enjoys driving it after that. Cheers.

Chip

Ford GT's will be available at 'sticker' soon. Just hold out for a while.

My liquid blue has 6000 miles on the ODO and except for the damn Deer that tried to hitchhike to Atlanta on my hood,
it is running beautifully!

I am with Chip and many others here on our forum …. unless financial calamity hits me personally... it will eventually go to Daughter Megan, son in Law Ryan and new baby grandson Ford ! MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL.!
