No idea what you mean by that. Ford...well Reliable Carriers...will deliver to your house/business/dealership.

I mean not prep it or make ready it. Leave it as a wrapper car like the 93 cobra that went thru BAT a few months ago.
Imagine what one would be worth in 10-20 years that has 4 miles in it…
Correct. It won't be prepped, unless requested.
what did it sell for?
google shows an msrp of like 20,050 back in 93. 20k for 30 years at 8% is almost a 250k and no deductions for insurance or maintenance
No, I’m saying if you had a GTD with no miles on it 10-20 years from now. My buddy will pay cash for it. Bet it would be worth at least a couple mil by then.
Correct. But what he's saying, it probably won't outpace inflation, so he would be better off investing the money elsewhere for a return.
Edit: Also, I would find it terribly hard to believe a Mustang would bring $2mil+.
So as mentioned, indeed, Reliable brings the vehicle to a location of your choice, and in wrapper condition. This location, can be your dealer, house, storage facility what ever. The dealer comes to you as well to finish out the transaction.
Got an official e-mail yesterday, confirming what I had been told, that because we were invited to the reveal back in August, we do not have to do the application.
I dont think this car will be worth $2m+ any time soon if ever.

For those of you fortunate enough to be getting one, a question for you:
Would you still be interested in this car if instead of an 850ish hp massaged GT500 engine, you instead got a N/A bespoke version of the 5.4L used in the GT3 cars, with power more likely in the 5-600 hp range? Just curious. The car is just bonkers, but I (opinions are like....) feel a bit like they took the lazy way out in this department. Especially given how they basically reinvented every other part of the car. It feels special enough to deserve one. It would obviously not be as fast, but may check other less objective boxes.
What's another $50-100K on a $400K+ car to cover the additional costs?

I would rather have the GT3 car...but they're $650k. lol
I don't think what they did is lazy at all. It just makes business sense. This is a production car, and they will have to go through certification with the new tune/mods to this Predator, but that is far more cost effective than certifying a totally new engine and performing all reliability testing etc for a small number of cars.
They put the money into the crazy suspension and aero and transmission. Remember, this isn't just a port of the Predator (which isn't a bad motor by any stretch and is still quite high revving) but is modified with likely another 100hp and a dry sump setup.
I would be perfectly happy with the GTD to be NA and loose all the weight of the SC and its plumbing. Actually feel the same way about the 05 - 06 FGT. There is a GT in the Dearborn area that has the road runner (Boss 302) engine in it. Its an amazing build.
I've seen that one! It's awesome.
I would prefer that as well but then I remember this still is a street car. Bespoke race engines usually lose all the normal drive ability down low.
Who wants to drive this down low though?
Also, I'd be lying if I wasn't thinking about a pulley swap already.
If I'm driving it on the street I would.. and I would not buy this purely for track as there will be better options in that dept. (Obviously)
For sure, I love that Ford had the balls to do this
I hope when lap times start getting publicized that they're in line with their goals.
What does that mean? I meant to quote the wrapper car question.
