the EB GT's for some time now have not been selling even for mid teens. there has been a few listed on ebay over the last 6 months that haven't sold for under 20k. for some reason they are ignored & have stagnated at prices similar to 10 years ago.

i reckon maybe 1 out of 20 'replica's actually look good, and much less than that look authentic. |

I think the fact you can get XR8 Sprints for simmiler prices might hurt, same basic thing, less bling.
That, and i think the EB GT is ignored over the EL GT.

I think Svetta summed it up when she repeatedly told Victor (Fast Forward) "Victor ... you are most unattractive man". I don't know what drugs the designer was on but I certainly don't want any of the same. The front looks like Godzilla meets creature from the black lagoon. |

With the EB If you take off the bonnet stuff, and flares, the kit is similer to a V8 supercar...

In my eyes EBGT is one of the toughest looking muscle cars ever, and to think Ford was out of the performance game for so long and to come back first with the xr8 then the GT i couldn't be happier, great job FORD.

I'd agree with you if they were 250kw from the factory, instead the same 200kw five years after the EB GT, that was a joke!

200kw is darn good for back then...considering that they only thing with more was the GTS-R (painted in taxi yellow with a t wing...poeple laugh at that stuff these days)...GTS-R needed a stroker kit to do it...

EL GT IMO is still one of the best interiors Ford has ever done. All that leather, woodgrain and alcantara was superb.

meh to the plastic GT's I say! Riding on the coat tails of their predecessors
for the same dollar, heres a better buy with only 30,000klm on the clock and you still get a numbered car! http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Ford-Falc...item27c86fc565

Well its purely opinionated isn't it? There's no right or wrong answer here is there???
But to be honest real GT's stopped with the XB imo. Better buy as in less klms for similar money, and a car that is still numbered
