Others do feel it is, I don't necessarily agree with all the cars on this list, but I do on at least one of them!!:thumbsup:agree:

I would have to disagree with their evaluation of the Bugatti Veyrons current value as Shelby at Elite autos has had one listed for quite a while at $879K , the site indiactes 1.5m to 2m , I dont think so !!!!

I would also have to disagrre with their evaluation of the current values for a GT , you will not find a Heritage GT anywhere that is worth buying for around $175K as well I dont think you will find many clean , low mileage , no story GTs for $125K

If they are going to post these articles they could at least do some accurate research first

Just my .02cents worth

I saw that auction, there was a problem with one of the bidders as he withdrew his bid. I'm not sure if he felt that they (BJ) was running the car up on him or if he got cold feet but Craig Jackson bought the car himself for the hammer price of around 650/750 not sure. The car had miles on it and did not look like it was in the best shape.

I heard about that auction as well from a friend mentioning the "high miles". I know these are exotics but it always makes me laugh when 12K is high miles. :lol :cheers

That car probably never went 200MPH either, let alone do it over 20 times. To EP 12K miles is time for the salvage yard!

Whatever happened with the Superior Court Judge that sold his Hemi at Barret Jackson a couple of years ago. Similar story I think?

Before 2045 a 12k mile GT will sell for well over $750k, My prediction. I bet $1 or $1000 dollars 2045 currency. Any takers? ....See you at the 2045 Rally to collect. You young guys or those with good family genes should step up now to get in on the action.

If you are referring to the ramcharger cuda, he sued BJ because he felt that they hammered the car too quickly. He lost the case.

You need to look at the F GTcompetition @ 2004; eg, F360/Gallardo are sold all day at $75K today.

I dont compare the GT to F430 or any car after 2004; F GT was first avail. for sale in 2004 & thats when the valuation clock stopped & depreciation starts.

All competition has dropped in value >50%.

In any market thats the definition of overperformance.

Thought that you were actively pursuing Dr. Harms yellow GT?

Or are you starting a Ford GT Rescue? :biggrin

C'mon GTROB we are waiting , I am sure if you post where you saw this mythical heritage for 175K there will be a lot of guys here willing to buy it

Dont post anything you cant back up

I had a chance to buy a heritage for 175K 2 years ago that had 5000miles on it and I passed to get the one I have , not a heritage , that color scheme is not for me but it has turned out to be a keeper in relation to value as I am sure Shelby at Elite Autos can attest , and that is not to say that all GTs are keepers , they are !!!

I would say you would be richer, but not "rich"
