Money Matters and something's gotta go

Everyone, even though I"m deferred as many others here, the reality that I may actually get selected as the wait listers get selected now, is coming a potential reality. No one has said, but I'm sure many here are ecstatic to get selected, but then.....WOA....that's a lot of money for a car. It's probably more than 90% of American houses.

So....as many here are multiple GT and other car owners, I assume in order to purchase the new GT, some cars are going to have to be sold. No one may want to say, but any guys already selected decided what they are getting rid of? I would expect a few multiple car owners to get rid of one. Also, I have not heard from you selected guys of what Ford is requiring to "build" a car for you.

Space matters and something has to go.

Gentlemen,

There is room for 5 cars in my garage. One of the 5 spaces is currently occupied by a 1980 Jeep CJ-5 that has been flawlessly restored. I've had that Jeep for 25 years and it's the only non Ford in my stable. I has to be sold to make room for my new GT. If I'm lucky it will bring in one third of the cost to restore it.

Yes, my TT Viper is for sale and if I get selected in the coming years, some others would have to go as well. Thanks for sharing Chip.

I've got a gently used push mower I don't need (and by gently I mean harshly). Other than that it's the GT and DDs, which are going nowhere.

That's about right. I told my wife I'd be happy in a double wide with a big garage, but she didn't go for that.

Lol. A few years back I went on a cross country bike ride with some buddies and as a responsible husband I decided to give MrsSteveA advise on what to do with my unfinished car projects should "something happen". Then suggested when it came to the GT she should call Floridaho Chris and he with DBK will be up on the rising values and help her get top dollar for the car. She look at me with a confused look and instantly stated "oh that won't be for sale, it's what I'm using to get my next husband " WTF?

Is the 430 manual? If it is I would get rid of one of the other cars and not the GT
