mercuryturbo Oh look.... a real car, with no hair dryer Donating Members 1,724 Member For: 18y 4m 4d Gender: Male Location: Fear and Loathing in Callala Bay Posted 20/06/07 08:29 AM Share Posted 20/06/07 08:29 AM I think the 40th anniversary GT will depreciate just as fast as a regular GT in the short term, but in the long term (& I really mean the loooong term) who knows. You've only got to take a look at the prices the classic 60's & 70's muscle cars are bringing now to realise this. A classic example is XC Cobra, a car decribed in in 1978 as a marginal classic, really nothing more than a styling exercise to clear out the last 400 hardtop bodyshells, yet I've seen asking prices of 70K plus. In 30 or 40 years any muscle bound BA, even our beloved T's, could be worth a mint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until then, they will be hard pressed to beat my Futura...........I feel fully able to critique any car. FPV IMHO have done a woeful job on the GT. Too goddamn slow. An SS will show one the door stock vs stock everyday. Give it some balls to match its looks ferchrisakes.Why don't you tell us what you really think Shanus? I do concur however.Big AL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
