So.....as I am witnessing the escalating values of the gt parts that occasionally show up on the forum I begin to wonder.....has anyone done the math on what a low mileage running gt would currently be worth if it were to be entirely parted out vs it's current value as a minty DD? (slow day at the office........)

Clearly the case. A quick add of major commodities at current over-the-counter prices yields > $260K just in parts.

the trend I've seen in the past 30 years is that it's true, there is a point where the total of the parts is worth more than the assembled vehicle itself. ex: the 1969-1970 Boss 429 Mustang. it got to a point where buying a Boss for parts was far more proftable than buying one to restore or keep. However with that being said, the trend reversed as Boss 429s started bringing $200,000.00-500,000 at auctions like Barrett Jackson. Of course the parts for the Boss kept trending upward at the same time but not near as fast. I think the GT will do the same thing. as the cars become more and more less available, the prices will continue to go up. of course as the parts start to disappear, they too will trend up but I don't think as fast as the valuation of the Ford GT. jmo

rocketman- you feel the same way about this thread as I do about the thread on the 2016 GT ! I never read so much speculation, guessing and just plain mis-information in my life in any thread on this forum. too funny to read and mostly a major waste of time !! too funny !!
