I have a friend who is,now, General manager of a local dealership. Back in 07 early,they still had a silver GT. The newness had worn off. This was a zero mile car. I asked how much and he told me $146k would take it. There was no way I could buy it,but I did the math even shopped loans. Payment wise we could have done it but it would have been everything. Yes I still count it as one that got away.
The real money though would have been buying parts! Rear clamshells ,early on,could be bought without a VIN,all the parts could. Ford caught on quick and required a VIN to purchase any body,chassis and interior parts.
I mention the clamshell because they could be had for about $3500,last I heard they were over $50k. The other parts are just as crazy.
