2005 Ford GT: A Legend Reborn! 

With a 2005 Ford GT ending last Friday, it got me thinking what trends and insights can i share with you about this car.

The 2005 Ford GT, inspired by the legendary GT40 race cars of the 1960s, is more than just an American supercar icon. With its seductive design and roaring supercharged V8, it beautifully marries nostalgia with top-tier performance. Each month, multiple auctions spotlight these masterpieces, whether they're in pristine, highly-original condition or have been tastefully modified. It's not just a car; it's a testament to Ford's racing heritage and a symbol of engineering excellence.

So lets get into the sales to determine what trends/insights we can take away.

 Sold cars are highlighted in GREEN and  unsold ones pop in RED, each with their highest bid.

For instance, last Friday, a GT auction wrapped up without a buyer at a staggering $381,000 bid.

Now, let's talk mileage. I've injected it into our data table, hunting for any patterns. One tiny trend? The two highest sales? Yep, they had the least miles clocked. But, and it's a BIG but, low mileage doesn't guarantee a sale!

Pitting modified GTs against originals? No discernible patterns there either. So, I've pulled out the big guns: my all-time favorite – the day-of-the-week sale chart. ✨

Now, here's the kicker: two surprising trends have emerged.

1. Tuesdays? Ghost town! Not a single auction ending. And that's across multiple platforms. ❓

2. The golden nugget? Every auction ending on a Sunday found a buyer! (Saturday had a hit too). Remember my post last week about weekend auctions? Well, for elite rides like the 2005 Ford GT, weekends are clearly the sweet spot!

 Catch This G-Wageon Carousel!

The 2002 is making waves again! Previously snagged on BaT in July for a cool $90,250 (and before that, auctioned in January offline for $100,800), it's now getting some spotlight on Cars & Bids.

Link to auction here.

Key Points:

1. Decked out in Obsidian Black Metallic with an all-black interior.

2. Unbelievably, it's a one-owner beauty with just about 2,000 miles under its belt.

3. Driven a mere 800 miles since its July purchase, and interestingly, no miles added post-January snag!

But here's the burning question: Why is this G-Wagen being auctioned for the 3rd time this year? With its pristine condition, unmodified stance, and its rich lineage (shoutout to the collab between Mercedes-Benz and Steyr-Daimler-Puch), it's a wonder this gem keeps rotating owners!

Fun Fact: This G500 was birthed from the lineage designed originally for farmers and adventurers back in '79. Who knew it would later steal the show in Beverly Hills?

So, G-Wagen enthusiasts, keep your eyes peeled on this ride and let's see where it lands next! Will it find its forever home or continue its auction journey?

Heads Up, Prancing Horse Fans! This weekend witnessed the sale of a jaw-dropping 2022 Ferrari 812 GTS for a sizzling $700k!

Dive into the details:

1. Wrapped in the elegant Blu Scozia Opaco finish, this beauty sports a Cuoio leather interior with contrasting Blu stitches.

2. Only clocked 1,200 miles, so she's barely touched the road.

3. Premium vibes only with the JBL Professional Hi-Fi sound system.

4. Its heart? A roaring 6.5-liter V12 engine, delivering 785 horsepower.

5. From adaptive LED headlights to carbon-fiber Daytona racing seats, luxury is in every corner.

6. It boasts a window sticker price of $618,154. Quite the gem, right?

Prices Going Up Or Down? The previous sale of a similar model was at $670,000 in November 2022! Seems like prices are heading one way

The 2021 McLaren 765LT MSO is about to make break some online records.

Here's the lowdown:

1. ️ Sporting a twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8, this beast dishes out 755bhp. 0-62mph? Just a mere 2.8 seconds.

2. Dressed to impress in the iconic McLaren Orange, paired with a gloss-black roof and carbon-fibre trim detailing.

3. Only 3,894 miles on the odometer and it's number 184 of just 765 produced globally.

4. Born lighter and faster than the 720S coupe, thanks to its carbon-fibre usage, Formula 1-grade transmission materials, and that quad-exit titanium exhaust system.

5. Features galore: Staggered 19-inch front and 20-inch rear alloy wheels, carbon-fibre MSO roof scoop, MSO exposed carbon rear wing, and so much more. Plus, the interior boasts black Alcantara with popping orange stitches.

6. Still under the manufacturer’s warranty until 29 June 2024.

The big question: Being the FIRST of its kind to hit the online auctions, what's this modern British supercar gonna fetch?
