Well maybe not for the first 6 months but with 1,500+ of them being made in the first year alone, I would bet that someone could buy one for less than $100K after the first year (a used one of course).

Ford has gotten into this "limited production" wording recently to generate sales and then make as many (or more) as they can sell once production starts.

Just look at the new Mach 1s and Harley edition trucks, Cobras, etc. They all can be had at $10K less after one year of ownership.

Just my thoughts but the new Ford GT market will be similar to the viper market in that if you want a brand new one you will pay the ($140K) sticker. But if you are willing to wait a year or two for a used one it can save you at least 1/3 of the cost of a new one (est. approx $95K for the GT). Again just my opinion but time will tell...

So at that rate, I would expect any GT-40 replica to go for less than that brand new unless it is an authentic replica down to every nut and bolt (or rivet) of an original.
