Interesting piece in the NY Times on where the original ford clay model ended up - with artist Richard Prince.

Pretty interesting. I thought the car companies always destroyed the clay models. We need to invite Richard to join the forum.

Wow someone with more clout than DBK. What a great peice of history to own. I would bet that clay model would sell close to what a real GT would sell for:thumbsup

Ford GT Fiberglass Concept Model - P1147

Here's a non-running example that sold for MORE than your standard production GT:

At Scottsdale this past January, this fiberglass mock-up went for $198k at Russo and Steele. The other fiberglass Concept Model (P1148 - which has a drive train and runs) has been kept by FoMoCo.
