Nobody Wants John Cena's Ford GT
Nobody Wants John Cena's Ford GT-August 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:09:48

John Cena’s 2017 Ford GT, which, you’ll remember, , is up for sale for the—fourth? fifth? tenth? hard to say at this point—time, about a month after it again. Does anyone want John Cena’s Ford GT?

Whether Cena could sell the car at all, of course, was the crux of Ford’s lawsuit, since Cena had apparently agreed not to sell it for 24 months after buying from Ford. Still, since Cena sold it, it’s changed hands numerous times, most recently $1.4 million in late August in Monterey.

Now, Mecum is the GT for auction in Dallas in early October. It’s got 626 miles, or 1 mile more than it had when it sold in August. It makes 647 horsepower. It’s got a dual-clutch seven-speed automatic gearbox.

It’s also serial number 77, which a quick search turns up no bad associations. What is wrong with John Cena’s Ford? Who can say. What we can say is that no one seems to want it.

Cena paid $466,376 for it, but it will surely go for something closer—or even more—than the August price. Seriously, though, what’s this madness all about? Autoblog one compelling theory: Cena’s Ford GT is the only Ford GT free and clear of litigation, unlike the nearly 500 other Ford GTs all presumably still covered by the 24-month no-sell clause. But those clauses will begin to expire at some point, flooding the market and devaluing this one. The time to cash out is now.

Why Ostensibly Boring Cars Like This $2,700 Ford LTD Are the Ultimate Bargains
I’ve been surfing Craigslist pretty much nonstop over the past decade, and in that time, there’s been one group of vehicles that has tempted me more than any other: “boring cars” in beautiful condition. Vehicles like the spotless, affordable you see above. I don’t know what to think about...

At $14,750, Could This 1993 40th Anniversary Year Chevy Corvette be Your Party Favor?
The seller of today’s 40th anniversary year ‘Vette says that pictures just don’t do it justice. Let’s see if that missing justice can be found in its asking price. The general definition of a ‘Muscle Car’ is a small, two-door, rear-wheel drive body shell into which has been wedged...

At $8,500, Is This LT1-Powered 1993 Chevy S10 a Pickup With Pick Up That You Might Pick Up?
Small pickups like today’s S10 aren’t crowding new car dealer lots like they once did. This one comes with Corvette power so it might draw a crowd on its own accord. That is, if its price doesn’t scare them away. We all greeted yesterday’s like it was a long,...

The takes one of the sportiest crossovers on the market and gives it a slight redesign that better reflects the speed its 541 horsepower twin-turbo V8 delivers. It’s also more expensive than a normal Cayenne, because something isn’t stylish if you aren’t paying more for it. ( Porsche flew...
