Regrettable fact, not movie related but Ford GT related.

I was stationed in Germany when the 2005/2006 Ford GT was remade. I could have bought one for $115,000 through the army air force exchange, tax free and free delivery. It was a bargain even then considering they were selling around $180k. Only catch was I could only get one in Gulf racing colors (the one I wanted anyway). Gulf racing colors were the least desired colors when they came out. I wanted to buy it and keep it undriven, all factory wrapping and markings intact and just put it in storage. I didn’t buy one and it was one of the most regrettable non purchase events for me. That car appreciated almost a $100k each year for about 10 years. At one point, single digit gulf racing colored GT’s were selling for a million.

Anyway, I hope to see the movie tomorrow.

Quoted from gearheaddropping:

I could tell literally 8-10 stories like this through the years in dealing with classic cars.
The one that stings the most - In 1988 I saw a Daytona Yellow 1969 Camaro for sale on the side of the road at a farm. Turned out to be an original Z/28 with the original DZ302 block still in it. The real kicker is that it was a JL8 rear disc brake car which is stupid rare. The guy wanted $3400 for it and I passed because it had a bit of rust forming on the rear quarter. Today, it would be a huge dollar car. I still have dreams about buying and restoring that car.....

Cars over the past few years have skyrocketed. I sold my 68 GT for pinball machines about 4 years ago. I could get double today what I sold it for.
