I had my forever 14 GT500 pictured in my avatar that I had to give up because of reasons I prefer not to discuss. I will be getting another forever 13/14 GT500 within the next year hopefully and that one will not be going anywhere. Still undecided on my next color combo...lol.
Same exact situation here. Luckily life has taken a turn in the fortuitous direction of late and I may be on track sooner rather than later to get back into the game. Ford will announce a new GT500 soon so I'll see how bad the price hike is and then decide whether to track down my old car (I want DIB, glass roof again) or try and find that combo again or jump into one of the new ones. I've got a real soft-spot for IRS and magneto shocks though so we'll just have to see how the market on 13-14s is looking compared with the new ones.
And original owners, congrats, may you keep your beloved rides until your last days. In 5-7 years everything will be electric and these will truly be some of the last and best of the breed...
