Hint: It helps to have owned a GT before
Back in September we told you Ford would build 250 examples of its mid-engine GT, that the U.S. would get only about 100 of those, and that the price is going to be in the $400,000 range. We also said that since demand would clearly exceed supply, you’d have to apply for the car, and once selected, you could choose the dealer for delivery. Now we've got more information about the actual process. Ford execs say the applications should be online sometime in February, and are meant to reward longtime Ford customers and ensure the cars are going to be driven. The company doesn’t want the cars to simply be stored, and is also trying to hedge against people buying the car and flipping it. To that end, the News reports that the application process is going to be lengthy and rigorous, and that hopeful applicants must sign a legal document stating they won’t sell the vehicle for a certain amount of time. Ford is asking several questions, such as how many Fords you have previously owned, how active you are on social media, and how often you plan to drive it. We even heard rumors at the Rolex 24 in Daytona that Ford would require first right of refusal if an owner wanted to sell. We’re not sure a company can tell you who you can and cannot sell something to, but we’re looking into it (update – it’s murky), as is Ford’s legal department, we’d bet. Ford hasn’t said how long it’s going to build GTs but clearly high demand will leave some potential customers’ garages empty.
