The Judge did rule in Mecums favor, that we could sell this car. And if Ford wanted it back, they were welcome to come here and bid on it. So this is a publicly legal sale of a Ford GT. We had some people worried there was gonna be some repercussions, theres no repercussions with this car. It was contested in court, you bid on it, you buy it, its yours. Its America, you can buy and sell what you want! Edited May 21, 2018 by blwnsmoke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanh Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 funny, I thought this is EXACTLY what Fords vetting system was trying to avoid....so much for that.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Note that they only said that Mecum was allowed to sell it. They didn’t say whether Ford has legal recourse against the original owner. Maybe the Cena case has pointed out a big loophole in Ford’s contract and it’s not really enforceable. I have a feeling there will be several lawsuits until this gets settled. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sevensecondsuv Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 It was only a two-year agreement though, right? It'll be a moot point in 6 months for a lot of the buyers.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deanh Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 irony...all the backlash dealers get for addendums...I can only imagine if the Dealers had actually been able to sell GTs and had 1.2 MILLION dollar addendums....bwahahahahahaha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcartwright99 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Not sure if this is true or not, but what if the original owner died? Some folks are speculating that is what occurred. If Ford does nothing, then it would be plausible. They could also have run into a really good attorney (shrugs)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blksn8k2 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 I was there on Friday. Could not believe how many Boss 429 Mustangs went across the block. Makes me sick to see the prices knowing I actually had a Black Jade Boss 429 back in the mid 70s. I assume I am probably one of the few people who can say that the very first car I had my name on the title of was a Boss 429 Mustang. Unfortunately, the only part I have left from that car is the oil cooler. LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the keys of my first one, and I have the fake gas cap medallion of my 2005 which I had the body shop rip off the trunk and give it to me when we were sure the insurance company would total it.
