Nobody Wants John Cena's Ford GT
Nobody Wants John Cena's Ford GT-May 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.

At $950, Would You Go All-In On This 1984 Plymouth Colt GTS Turbo Project?
One of the calling cards of today’s Plymouth Colt is its “Twin Stick” overdrive gear change, which gives the car eight speeds going forward and two in reverse. Let’s see if this project car has anything else to offer. Just as Goldilocks discovered when appropriating Papa Bear’s lifestyle and...

At $8,600, Would You Go Topless In This 1994 Cadillac Eldorado?
The seller of today’s Caddy claims they should be selling it at auction but says who’s got time for that? Let’s see if we have the time for this custom convertible at its non-auction price. Many of you agreed that the $950 asked for yesterday’s was “chump change.” Even...

At $5,900, Is This 1984 Nissan 720 4X4 A Solid Deal?
According to its seller, today’s Nissan 4X4 shows “pride of ownership.” Let’s see if it would take swallowing one’s pride to pay its asking price. Opinions were split on how well the design of yesterday’s has held up over the years. Some of you commented that the design still...

The (and Tacoma) have a death grip on used values. It’s been this way for years. Go ahead, go try and buy any TRD trim that’s a couple of years old; it’ll cost you as much as a new one — not that you could buy a new one...
