THIS should be interesting. It's not a charity car, so I'm guessing Ford didn't sign off on the sale....wonder if it's John Cena's old car ;)

As CS would say "it's like watching a slow-motion train wreck"!
The lawyers will be out in force, as well they should be.

Gorgeous car, but disappointing interior. :-\

Seriously! I've seen pictures of other GT interiors, and this one must be the stripped down version.
"...can I get some color?"
I'll take it...

I thought John Cena's Car was Blue.
The owners are supposed to keep the Car for at least Two Years. I wonder if that is Two Years after receiving the Car or after placing your Order FOR the Car?
Contract reads two years from delivery date.
I would clear a bay for it! Not sure what's going on with the lower dash. Looks powdery with lots of smudges.
Knew it was coming...

Gonna need a lot of popcorn refills for this one.
Anyone know who the consignors are .... ???
In reality Ford can have the 24 month clause in the contract. But does it also offer to buy the car back if the owner decides to get rid of it? Selling without Ford permission may subject the seller to a lawsuit but will it be for the profit they made? Profit plus penalty? I can't see an award for the total sale price back to Ford. Would a jury be swayed by big bad corporation going after lowley car owner?
Bottom line Ford is getting a lot of free ink suing GT owners.
Lowly car owner? Considering the price of the GT and the status one has to have to be one of the chosen few to get it would kind of bury that idea!

"There's no such thing as bad publicity"?? ::) ???
Well, here's more of the story, regarding the 2017 Ford GT that was auctioned at Mecum Indy:
http://www.foxnews.com/auto/2018/07/23/court-decision-behind-1-8-ford-gt-auction-revealed-as-litigation-continues.html
The dealership that was the 2nd owner SURE took a BIG risk in buying the car for $1.1M just to flip it! :o
Round and round it goes, where it stops nobody knows: http://www.foxnews.com/auto/2018/07/27/controversial-flipped-ford-gt-supercar-is-for-sale-again.html
But here's your chance to get a Ford GT without getting on the list.

Unbelievable. What a mess! With all the lawsuit news circulating, I wonder if anyone would even buy it at this point.
It's all publicity.....
Its one thing to put it in an auction so MECUM can draw more attention and people to the show. Its another to actually sell it. The car will never hit the reserve and the owner will take it home. Watch and see........
