Good points Jim. The value will spike when he passes (and it won't be 20 years from now either). I remember having my oil changed last December at the local Ford dealer when they were loading up a 2009 KR500 for a customer in South Dakota. The customer paid the dealer $135k. As I mentioned earlier, you can not get one in the neighborhood of $75k. That's a $60k drop in 6 months! You are right about now being the time to buy. I'd love to get one, but I am now at my 4 collector car cap (wife imposed), so the only move I can make in the near future is getting the 2010 SHO when my daily driver F-150 lease is up in 3k miles. I could liquidate the 86 SSP, 86 GT convert, 67 t-bird and 67 Kaiser/Jeep M715 (which I doubt would get me close to the $40k total I'd need for a GT500, considering it's a buyers market in today's economy). I have a feeling the annual insurance bill would be more for the GT500 than all four of my vehicles combined too.
