This $1.4 Million Ford GT Resale Will Cost You an Extra $1.2 Million to Export From Europe
This $1.4 Million Ford GT Resale Will Cost You an Extra $1.2 Million to Export From Europe-October 2024

The current generation of the is a , no matter how deeply you’ve pledged yourself to the religion that only worships powerhouses with eight cylinders in a V-shaped formation. But some GTs, like the stunning red one here, pack a few less appealing, and expensive, realities.

recently found this 2018 for 1.2 million euros, or nearly $1.4 million at current exchange rates. The 647-horsepower, 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6 supercar is in Germany, according to the listing, and comes with a black interior and 20 miles on the odometer.

But in addition to being listed for nearly triple the MSRP and likely illegal to sell in Ford’s eyes, this Ford GT will also cost more than $1.2 million to export out of Europe at current exchange rates. That price alone is more than double the GT’s base MSRP, at least in the U.S., of , and the cost of both buying and exporting the car would come to just over $2.6 million—the base MSRP plus a couple of , basically.

The thing is, this is one of the few current-generation Ford GTs out there that isn’t for sale through Ford’s for its car, for one main reason: Owners aren’t allowed to resell for 24 months after taking delivery of the car.

Since this one listed on JamesEdition is a 2018, the math says it probably hasn’t gotten out of that two-year window yet. If it’s anything like that have happened in the past couple of years, we may see a lawsuit in the near future over that very customer agreement.

Until then, if Ford didn’t pick you for a GT but you have between $1.4 million and $3 million to burn, your chance has finally come. Truly, congratulations.

For $13,980 Canadian, roll big willie style
When it comes to automotive artistic expression, Chevy's Suburban offers a generous canvas. Today's custom '98 may be more urban than suburban, but is its price a work of art? Poor Steve Saleen, first he chooses a monastic haircut that only serves to highlight his male pattern baldness, and then...

Half-baked, half-assed, half-hearted, there's lots of negatives associated with the image of halves. However, as today's 1970 and a half Z-28 proves, being awesome is half the battle. Nearly half of you yesterday found the to be Nice Price, while nearly half of you thought the updates were just polishing...

The CIM-10 Bomarc surface-to-air missile was a lunatic collaboration between the Michigan Aerospace Research Center and Boeing. A rocket/ramjet hybrid of the rip-roaring postwar military-industrial complex, the Bomarc was designed to hurtle itself into an advancing formation of Tupolevs at 2 1/2 times the speed of sound and detonate a...

While advanced in design, Fiat's X1/9 was ephemeral in its execution, and few have stood the test of time. Today's '78 however has not only passed time's test, it went back for some alloy-rim extra credit. It turns out big willie style was a page of the Karma Sutra that...

You don't have to be Elmer Fudd to like hunting rabbits, and today's beige bunny seems worthy of the chase. But will its price make you go hu-hu-hu-hu-hu-hu-hu-hu? In an odd confluence of forces of nature, when VW made the switch from air-cooling for their engines to H2O, they chose...

Few people get all hot and bothered by the Toyota Camry, as driving one is much like eating plain oatmeal. . . from a beige bowl. The seller of today's '94 Coupe seems to feel differently, but is it just its TRD supercharger that is pressurizing his passion? It's generally...
