The Mustang GTD is an exceedingly particular and wildly uncommon piece of equipment. We hope at the very least some consumers will climb behind the wheel and benefit from the automotive for its meant goal. Sadly, we suspect many will have a look at it, drive it a handful of light miles, then tuck it right into a climate-controlled storage till they’ll promote it for a tidy revenue. Such homeowners should wait at the very least two years for such a chance.

It does not come as an enormous shock. Ford required an analogous settlement with consumers of its earlier limited-edition enjoyable machine, the Ford GT. As reported by Ford Authority, GTD consumers will not be capable to do a fast flip beneath any circumstances. A Ford spokesperson confirmed the settlement within the following assertion to Motor1.

“Ford Mustang GTD clients comply with confidential phrases and situations that embrace a dedication to take care of possession for 2 years.”

That deal may very well be powerful for some Mustang GTD consumers to abide by. Ford revealed that over 7,500 individuals utilized to purchase the automotive, and that is simply in North America. Official manufacturing numbers for the GTD had been by no means introduced, however the GTD software talked about a run of 300 to 700 automobiles per yr. In a best-case situation, that is 1,400 automobiles for the preliminary two-year run—leaving 6,100 consumers foaming on the mouth to get one.

That begs the query: how a lot are individuals prepared to pay to get a Mustang GTD? Ford’s official beginning worth is already lofty at roughly $325,000, and that does not embrace choices just like the Efficiency Bundle—a requirement if you wish to do a sub-seven-minute lap on the Nurburgring. For those who recall the case of John Cena’s Ford GT, he broke the two-year requirement after allegedly flipping his automotive for a “giant revenue,” in keeping with Ford. We do not know the results of breaking the GTD settlement, but when somebody confirmed up with one million bucks to purchase your $325,000 Mustang, these penalties simply is perhaps price it.

We’ll discover out quickly sufficient, as GTD deliveries ought to already be underway.
