Imagine Ford GT-40: Old or New?
In Response To: Old or New? ()


Here is a parallel question: Would you rather have a vintage Ford GT-40 or one of the to-be-reissued GT-40s??

assuming availability of the vintage model, you will have

  • historical value
  • genuine association with racing
  • scarcity
  • proven reliability
  • better looks
  • a 12-hour register
  • a rotating bezel.

here is the clincher for the choice - - -

please let us know what you decide.

thanks for the interesting question.

: Putting aside the question of availability,
: make your case for purchasing either the
: 1163T "Jo Shiffert" Autavia or the
: 2003 version, ref. CY2110.BA0775.
