A handful of Ford GTs have started appearing on the used-car market, shortly after their two-year exclusion period ended. And they’re fetching big money.
Ford originally sold the GT in 2017 with a US$450,000 price tag and a waiver stating the new owners would not sell their Blue Oval-badged supercars for two years.
Now the ‘no sale’ period is over a handful of examples are beginning to appear at auction houses around the world.
Crossover Car Conversions has recalled the 2005-2014 Ford Mustang and 2005-2006 Ford GT to replace their faulty Takata airbags.
As with all Takata-related recalls, the campaign concerns airbag inflators that degrade due to a combination of heat and humidity. If an affected car is involved in an accident triggering the airbags, the metal inflator can explode or rupture under too much internal pressure.
Ford has expanded production of its GT supercar again, announcing 350 new vehicles will be offered atop the existing production run of 1000.
When it was first announced, there were only plans to build 500 examples of the GT. Then, in August 2016, Ford announced plans to extend production by two years, pushing the build count to 1000.
