Personally, I'm planning a parts raid into Canada starting from Chicago.
All these post are starting to make me nervous. The Z8 parts were to be made available for 50 years by BMW or some crazy number of years. What about the GT? Are we long term owners going to be running into issues? Kind of worrisome.
but Torrie likes panic!

btw When I Purchased A Z8 I Received A Document From Bmw With The 50 Year Parts Availability Guarantee So You Are Correct.

Luv My Z8 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love your Z8, too. One of my all time favorites. Almost went that route, but decided to swing for the fences and thankfully bought my GT.

Electronic devices may be the big pole in the tent in regard to this issue. When I was restoring my BOSS 429, I found that after 35 years most of the sheetmetal/mechanical parts were either readily available (for a price) or were being repoped. There are few electronic components in a BOSS 429, I can think of only two items - radio and rev limiter. There are hundreds of electronic components in a Ford GT. Electronic components have a very short commercial life before going obsolete - I believe these parts will be the most difficult to procure in future 10/20/30 years from now.
