Ford already has experience combatting car flippers, but people still seem surprised the Mustang GTD will be subject to a mountain of restrictions. It’s almost like everyone has forgotten how selective and provisional the Ford GT buying process was just a few short years ago.
Towing company owner arrested after 1967 Camaro reportedly stolen.
Among the not-shocking details is an agreement in the purchase contract that keeps Ford Mustang GTD owners from selling the vehicle for the first two years of ownership. That’s exactly the same as what Ford GT owners agreed to, so it’s just not surprising in the least.
On top of that, you can’t just plunk down the cash and get a GTD, no. Ford is requiring prospective owners to apply for the privilege, just like it did with the GT supercar. And yes, the Blue Oval will opt to not sell the hopped-up pony cars to some people because it thinks they won’t help promote the car’s and brand’s image.
As Ford Authority, which was given this contractual information by a Ford insider, points out, many of those who are getting approved to own the Mustang GTD are celebrities. Among them are famous tuners like John Hennessey as well as some YouTubers. We imagine names from motorsports are also going to be in the exclusive circle of owners.
In all honesty, compared to how Ferrari does business, this move with the Ford Mustang GTD is no big deal. Sure, some will argue since the vehicle costs beyond $300,000 anyone with the cash should be able to buy it, no questions asked. But the reality is Ford is using the street-legal racecar to boost its image further, and that won’t be accomplished as well by letting just anyone buy the thing brand new.
As the Mustang GTD starts going to owners, we’ll see who bought what soon enough.
