Where are those F-car guys who predicted the GT's value would tank? The relationship between F430 and GT values can be expressed with a simple "X".

^^^ $242,000
Car #2 sold for $242,000? That terible for the seller. I figured it would have fetched a much more stratospheric price.

Pre-auction estimate: $325,000 - $375,000. "2005 Ford GT, chassis no. 2. This GT, the first example delivered, was offered to Mr. Dingman by the Ford Motor Company as a token of their appreciation for his 21 years tenure on the company’s board."

I was there for the auction for other things, Spoke to seller, he had never driven it. Did not inquire as to mileage, but it was very clean, and less than 1000k miles looking, if it had really any miles at all. Hammer was 220k, it went to TX if I recall.

I took a bunch of pictures of subtle things that were different on this early car from my later 05. Fasteners that were different colors etc. Keep meaning to post, but forget....

Here it is and the VIN Tag.

Does anyone have a general idea of how many are still out there? Not junked, I mean.

Less than 3,000 in the USA intact is my estimate.

If my GT is worth something when I die then I did something wrong!
