Curious how many who are selected will back out when they have to write the check?? I would suspect a significant percentage applied but will not have the means to spend a half million dollars.


For sure. How many of the 6500 are Ford GT owners (especially original owners), who apparently will get strong preference, AND can write a check that large? The odds certainly become a lot better in theory anyway

Thanks DBK for all you have done to represent us owners in this process. I strongly believe your efforts when Ford was brain storming on how to go about selling the new GT is why so many of us feel good about our chances. Whether selected or not I appreciate all your advice and information.

Hehe, yes it's like applying to Stanford....bill included!! But definitely worth it...although many people will argue with me, but these are the best $450k you can spend aside from a good education :)

Odds are better than Stanford.

I too need to thank you Dave for all that you do to make the Ford GT ownership an over the top experience. I have been in a few other car groups over the past many years... and there is no comparison to what we all have here with the FORDGTFORUM. We join the the Forum because of the cars... We stay because of DBK and the friendships we have made. This is the ultimate car club! Thanks again Dave for all that you do for all of us!

No video or public domain photos from me either.
So I guess we lose together. No sympathy card...except maybe for you cars missing stripes.

Me too, will be fun to live the dream vicariously.

Also, I can't wait so some of the ass-kissing here abates a bit.
