[QUOTE="mrmustang, post: 16815711, member: 13150"] If you know how inventory like this works with Ford, Ford uses, in any given year, 30-40 or so "test vehicles". Some are simply used for sound testing of a new radio or speaker combination, headlight changes, or combinations, some even for sound deadening. What each of these has, is documentation from Ford as to what it was used for. Each and every VIN number is logged internally, each has to be assigned to a specific line item budget, each has to be signed off on by department management, and those working on the vehicle, if taking it out of a specific office/building/warehouse, must sign off on it. Most drivetrain and suspension cars end up in Fords archives, or crushed, the others, where the liability is not in question, are sold on the used/employee lot and go their merry way. These are brought back to 100% stock, and gone through by Ford techs before they are placed on the lot, or sold off to dealers as "certified used". In this cars case, besides being assigned (per the Marti report), has not documentation to show what it was actually used for during it's testing stage(s). Just saying. Bill S. [/QUOTE]
