Equipment
The place holder for the first 2005 Ford GT to be sold to the public with proceeds over Fords reserve (probably somewhere below the estimated $145,000 MSRP) to the Concours charities. Introduced by Fords Neil Ressler then pumped up by the driver, Jay Leno, who gave his usual on stage performance. The buyer gets car 10, the car on display was 1FAFP90S54Y400001.
Market commentary
The Pebble Beach Concours dElegance charities were the big winners here, although Christies didnt come off at all badly with a $57,500 commission. 3.8 times MSRP, a $412,500 premium, is a lot to pay for bragging rights, especially since a couple years after the car is delivered itll be worth, what $150,000 if it has no miles Jon Shirley
