You are missing the biggest portion of people, the 99.999999999999999999999999998% of the world population who could not give a hoot, or don't even know what a GTHO is and would not know what it was worth if they tripped over one in the car park. How many people in Europe/Asia/India/America/South America etc etc do you think would lust after a XY GT HO, I bet none would even know what it was or that it existed. I mean even 99% of the Australian Population would have no idea or cared in the slightest.

Personally I been a car enthusiast for many decades and really I don't care about GTHO's or even a GT. Not really interested in them, and I generally walk past the rows of XW/XY GT's at car shows as I find them quite boring, same with Cobra's, its a matter of seen one seen them all for me.

Stuff like the unrestored 6 cylinder XY Farm ute at last years QLD All Ford Day caught my attention and I snapped a heap of photos of it, or the mint stock standard XB Station wagon got my close inspection.

Not everyone wants a GTHO, not everyone wants a GT or even a Ford or any classic vehicle for that matter.

Just because I love my XB's does not mean the rest of the world wants one or even cares that they exist
