What do you base this assumption on? 2005 GT's are still pulling 180+
Meanwhile, 2004/5 Gallardo's aren't selling for 120 now |
I think it takes a very special car and lots of time for it to go up 8 times in value ($150k to $1MM).
The Ford GT is a great car but it isn't that rare or unique. It doesn't have race cred - Speed World Challenge is a new occurrence. Also you can manufacture a GT40 replica with A/c for $80-150K. So the GT is kind of attacked on the upper and lower price end.
Also while its performance is fantastic now, it may be ordinary 15 years from now.
Look at the cars made in the 80s - they would be ~ 20 years now. How many of the 80s cars are in the million dollar price bracket today? Hardly any. Even Porsches, Ferraris and Lambos made in the 80s do not make the cut - the F40 retails for $500K and lesser now. Give me an example of a car that grew from ~$150k to $1 MM in price.
15 years is too short a time frame for a limited production production car to jump this much in value.
