wow...that was more than the NASA Mercury Program (277million)..

Source? Seems way on the extreme side for the 60's


Yeah, I geezered out. I rewatchef that episode. It was 360 pounds in today's money that roughly means 450 mil dollars today or by my math 50 mil in the 60's. 30 million is what I remember as a teenager, being told by an old hotroder. I'll wear the ass hat today!

I did some reading as I never really knew what costs manufacturers spent on development and a typical new car is up to $6B(today)! After reading that I believed it. Haha

I cant understand how its that damn expensive. Must be a lot of throw away shit like lawyer fees and patents

Prediction...there will be a gay dude, a token black guy, an asian, a cute little girl used to jerk tears, and an anti-Trump subliminal undertone mixed in.

Dont forget Carol Shelby will be a racist.

*edit trailer added*

“Set against the backdrop of 1966’s 24 Hours of Le Mans race in France, the film follows fearless British racer Ken Miles (Bale) and maverick American car designer Carroll Shelby’s (Damon) mission to build a revolutionary car that would allow Ford to challenge the dominating Ferrari brand.”

Exclusive: Christian Bale, Matt Damon strap in for 'Ford v Ferrari' first look

I can help you with that. I'm listening to “Go Like Hell: Ford, Ferrari, and Their Battle for Speed and Glory at Le Mans” by AJ Baime, narrated by Jones Allen on Audible. It’s an awesome story! It makes me really pumped to see this movie when it’s out in theaters!!!
