These car will have limited appeal, mostly to histical car buffs and restoration hobbyists. There's always been a market in classic car restoration and with the passage of time, there's fewer and fewer of these originals left in restorable condition. Kudos to Ford for seeing this market and filling it --and with better quality steel, rustproofing and tolerences to boot!
My hobby is guitars. Virtually all the major guitar and amp manufacturers from Gibson, Fender and Marshall offer point-by-point reproductions of their classic gear from the 50s and 60s in addition to their modern lineup. There's a market for this stuff and consumers willing to pay a premium.
I just wish left handed guitars weren’t $100 more than their right handed counterparts.
A $999 righty American series Stratocaster is $1100 for me. I looked at one up close last week, compared to the 2008 Mexi-made Strat, and they weren’t in the same league.
The American Strat was screaming Dave Murray legato at me.
