Raining FGTs at Barrett Jackson

That Gulf Racing livery hands down is my favorite!
That has to effect the sales price when there are 3 of them at one auction....unless has exceptionally low miles compared to the others, etc.
I'd pull mine from the auction if I was the owner. 3 at the same show will likely depress prices.
I’ll bite the bullet and buy the one with the high mileage, you guys fight over the other two.
Do Gulf GTs usually go somewhere north of 450K?

someone wanna lend me a few bucks LOL
BAT had a VW bug with a WRX motor swap painted up in gulf colors a few weeks ago. I really had to fight the urge on that one, my wife would have had a fit.
I get the reason for the Heritage cars but call me the odd one out. Visually, it's my least favorite color combo on the 05/06 GT's.
LOL, can just imagine how that conversation would go
I have made some impulse car purchases, it’s helluva lot easier to ask for forgiveness than permission!
I agree. It looks cool but if I had to get a 05/06 GT it would be a stripe delete GT in Midnight Blue Metallic.
Wow. I thought someone was bat shit crazy when the one at my local dealer sold for $279K back in the day. $149 base / $30k for the paint / $100k dealer mark up.
Have you followed values on them since launch? They rarely sold for under 200k and values only skyrocketed once they were all spoken for. $279k at that time would have been close to normal compared to what they were going for.
This! I can't see that NOT happening, unless the number of serious/well funded FGT bidders greatly exceeds the supply.
Late 2005 into early 2006, they could be had for sticker. Some even bought under MSRP (not many, but did happen). October 2005 got ours for sticker, and was even before the $10k price increase (05 black no stripe).
Heritage paint was a $15k option in 2006

The screwed up part is that if it wasn’t molested, that car could still be turned for a profit (if that was their wish) at the current prices.
I think these cars are over inflated. They jumped up $100K in 18 months (mean average), I'm not sure they can hold that value when the new GT's start trading (which is soon as the legal requirements are running out).

I bet they hold their value. The new ones will be trading around 7 figures, they wont compete against each other for marketshare.

I don't know of any that went for MSRP and we as a dealer couldn't touch one for at least $30k over when trying to find them for exec's in Vegas. We sold 14 total if I recall and most over $200k.
@13COBRA, do the early 05' cars with the rear control arm recall/upfit bring more $$$ than others?
We paid sticker, and know of others that did too. East coast likely helped
Actually roughly 3/4 of all 2005 control arms were the "replacement" billet LCA's. They are prettier than the cast, but offer no premium from one car to another (most buyers likely wont even know that there is 2 LCA's). Also was all LCA's front and rear.
