[CarbonDan]

Damn good price with the miles. I've absolutely been loving my ACR-E, new owner will enjoy no doubt. Just nothing else like it out there today.

Wow. The ACR's are still pulling over $225k. Impressive! My GTS will be worth about $40k after it turns over 100,000mi.

The 2017 ACR-E is definitely turning out to be an interesting collectible. The case for it is obvious and well discussed on this forum. And, contrary to what the naysayers believe, it has every reason to follow the '05-'06 FGT valuations.

If you pop the hood or get into an '05-'06 FGT, you know you're getting into something that was not built by Porsche, Ferrari, Lambo, etc. It had a very unique appearance and looked and felt like something built by Ford -- the attention was clearly focused on performance first, and the details in the interior, under the hood or under the car were not necessarily a priority.

The Gen V ACR-E is very similar in its strengths and weaknesses, but 10 years more advanced. As a result, it is a much better performing car, with some details done much nicer (certainly the interior, and the paintwork -- underhood and underbody is arguable). But it too is uniquely American and there is no mistake that this car was built by one of the Big 3. Both the FGT and ACR-E were built in very limited numbers, with the ACR-E being much more limited.

And then, there is the other fact (which does not get the credit it deserves), but the likelihood of running into another ACR-E that looks like yours is extremely rare because many were SE or 1-of-1 cars.

So I believe the 1/2 mil figure will come a year or three after FGT's get there. FGT's have recently stalled out in the $300's it seems, but their values will begin to climb again as hard assets continue to be highly desirable. My prediction: FGT's to 1/2 mil by 2025; ACR-E's to 1/2 mil by 2028

Well to some it is but to most of us it isn't.

That's because most aren't "real" ACRs but rather ACR-optioned GTCs so on the part of existing owners there's a bias.

You know this is exactly the kind of thing that collectors pick up on will matter to them. 20 years from now a collector would rather catch syphilis than have a GTC ACR. Just sayin'

After my SRT loyalty voucher mine cost 127k. I know i'll never lose a penny on ít. With my name on the window sticker, mảtching car cover & dash, its such a personal build. Can't imagine selling for any price. All you get in return is money.

Ain't that the truth!

Sort of half true Policy. There is a 15K reason you got the voucher in the first place. Depends how you look at it.

[Policy Limits]

Even át 142k wont lose.

[ViperSRT]

If you plan to to keep it forever, as I do, what difference does the value provide. Maybe an ego boost.

[Policy Limits]

I think the collectibility & higher value reinforces the owner's passion for the car. Ít also is a testament to the racing history, exclusive production, made by hand át its own plant unique vehicle that ít is.

Not sure if serious but highly doubt some "collector" would prefer a bare bones cheaper 2016 ACR-E over a numbered 2017 Special Edition or hot colored GTC ACR-E. Now or ever.
That "real" ACR-E crap is just some owners trying to convince others their cheaper lower end model is somehow special. They aren't.

No, I sincerely believe a collector will prefer a "real" ACR without sound insulation and the crap stereo because that's the more hard-core and authentic ACR experience. The numbered cars are a bit of a miss collector-wise without carbon braces and interiors and with sound-insulation. Just my opinion. We can review in 20 years.

[ACRSNK]

Higher values definitely don't detract from an owner's passion for the car. Pretty significant that ACR's are trading hands at 50 - 60% and more over sticker just 3 years post production end. The Ford GT didn't even do that well within the 3 years that production ended. Not even close.

[ViperJon]

Mere three years out of production and every single SE numbered car has brought 220K or more at auction. Some substantially more.
Which is 60-70K or so over MSRP. Three years. Apparently collectors disagree with the "bit of a miss" assessment.

I know. For now. Eventually I think their elevated values will have some thinking about what's even rarer...or maybe not. I'm not underestimating the weight that the fact they're "limited" or "numbered" carries for some. I'm just saying that in 20 years I think an unmolested "real" ACR with the right options will be be more covetable.

Either way I'm glad there's enthusiasm for the car. It's pretty special and that's why I love mine.

I'd suggest they're all collectible but among the ACR-E variants the GT-C is the more livable one to drive and the base ACR-E the one to track. But since the base model is generally the only one that gets the miles put on by their track rat owners I would think low mileage examples of the original record-setting variant will easily be the most rare and quite possibly sought after. No one will care if or what radio it has in it, or sound deadening. But to add another twist to the my special and collectible ACR-E is more special than your special ACR argument, how about the rarest of them all...the Woodhouse ACR/TA?

Now you're talking!

[Bruce H.]

Now you're talking!

Should have bought a second, and ideally a third one!

Some standout collectible performance cars from the past had some sort of "against all odds" story about them being imagined and created at the factory by a small team of rabid engineers under a shroud of secrecy, the way they circumvented the system, bypassed rules, and the gymnastics that were involved in a dealer even being able to get his hands on one, stories of what the customer had to do to get one, and so on.

All I have to say is, well played Woodhouse!

The problem with the 16 ACR-E for a collector, in addition to not being a numbered, 25th Anniversary SE car is that its not a 2017 model year.
