Default Whats this about?

Ok I am puzzled

Can anyone explain to me why this BF 40th Anniversary GT is worth more than any other 40th Anniversary ? Why is this one $110k when there are others for sale at the same time for $62k? What am I missing? Is there something unique about it?

Its a limited build...but it ain't worth what he is asking. Like the Cobra for almost 99k.

Mind you this one?

this car has been on sale since the end of last year (well thats when i saw it first)...looks like hes cashing in on the fact that its the FIRST manual 40th GT..and the fact its only done 93ks too :P...but apart from that its probably overpriced, but he knows that hes got a collectors car on his hand...

I think it's one of 112 made, I don't even know that it's special in the sequence of the manuals made ....

i've never understood why people get so concerned about other people's right to sell their property for whatever they want. we know it's not worth that price, but then we know a 40 year old car isn't really worth the asking price either, it just feels good to have it.
