12th 2017 Ford GT goe to Jay Leno
Jay Leno received the 12th 2017 Ford GT. He'd also received the 12th 2005 and this one is a bit more expensive, coming in at $505K. What a car! There were 8600 "applicants" for the 500 of these that Ford is to make. That would have made for $4Billion, 343Million, in sales if Ford had decided to fill all the orders.
Of course, some will say they would have lost money and that each one would have cost more to build than the selling price. Not buying that argument. They would have developed procedures where they could have maximized economies of scale, but then, the cars would not have been nearly as exclusive.
I'm glad to see Leno get one. That guy is a true car guy and through hard work, big talent, and good luck has the money to truly enjoy his passion. Its great that he drives pretty much all his treasures. Imagine the "garage sale" when he dies....
