Default GT 90 For Sale ......

Would be nice to have sitting in the shed! Something a little bit different and am sure would turn some heads. Still time for anyone who wants to place a bid.

I can appreciate Ford could do with some cash, but I bet they'll regret selling this thing in the future.

This thing is legendary in my book.

It is stupidity and yes they will want it back eventually.

In Barry Sheen's collection he has a 250cc race machine that is the only model missing from Suzuki's own collection, they offered him $8 million USD for it a few years before he passed away and knocked them back :-)

Wonder if Ford will Honour the warranty and service it locally, and do they carry spares for it ??????

If it goes for what it cost to build I would expect parts and service free for the rest of the cars lifetime

It looks like they gave a GT40 to Honda's designers and said, "what can you do with it?"

Built in 1995 and has a V12...Hmm wouldn't be a Jaguar V12 would it ?

Probably wouldn't pass Oz design rules for rego but if you could afford it it'd be nice to just start it up on weekends to listen to it

may seem quite strange, but its disgusting.. ugly, only good thing in my eye is the engine. And the interior isnt too good on the eye either.

What would the value of that car be?

I think it looks ok but the wheels look shocking.

Quarter mile of 10.9 seconds. 0 - 100 in 3.1 sconds. Pretty quick.

I seriously can't believe that they are auctioning that off.
Another car on there CSX-2196( the “Flip-Top” Cobra 427 prototype) is another car I can't believe is up for auction at the same time.
What "IS" the world coming to???? To have deep deep pockets, and an equally secure garage to store things in....

The GT-90 is a beautiful piece of work and the Lambo Murcielago which
came out years later, looks alot like it.
