Sorry I only read the first 2 pages. I saw him in a video last week talking about his cars saying he was getting a NFG. Even before seeing this and I thought to myself how is this tool getting one, My GT has 32000 miles. I drive the doors off it. I am an a true ford fan over the last 38 years. I had an new pace car in 1979. a Pinto (that alone should qualify me) a SVO 4 banger turbo. Mustang drag car etc.... I was just pissed he got one and then I see this. go figure.

Ps
Ford, Make as many NFGTs for every Currant owner of a Ford GT that has more than 5000 miles and who wants one. Problem solved. We are the ambassadors not these clowns.

Yes, what he said! Let’s raise the GT mileage to 15000 as a threshold. I’m still hoping for an allocation!!

Props to this post.


Your self-description sounds pretty much like me- except I have never had a Pinto!

Sure it was mentioned earlier. Probably often, I haven't followed all the NFGT threads.

What about a 2 year lease with an option to buy at the end for $1 (still using the selection criteria they have been using) or something of that nature?

Doubtful he'll be talking cars, but as an FYI I see that Cena will be on the Tonight Show tomorrow (Wed. night).

So not to drag this thread out but I spoke to a friend who knows the guy ( a dealer) who bought the car from Cena. Sounds like Cena made a couple hundred grand and the dealer made more than that! I heard the final price was a little over one million. So not only is Cena crazy for selling the car but he is an idiot as well for not figuring out he could have gotten a lot more for the car!

Since the lawsuit was filed, I'm sure the story is that he lost money on the deal. :lol

Just my take, but the longer Cena and any other instances like this are a topic, the less likely regular GT dudes are to get cars in the future. You may intuitively think it's the reverse, but I'm not gonna write an explainer on it, so I'm sure people can work it out.
Agreed 100%

Sorry, that story is wrong. I'm sure they are tailoring the story now, but I know exactly what was said by the seller regarding sale price before the shit storm erupted, and that ain't it.

A weak attempt to mitigate damages to himself? He's gonna' hate the Discovery Process. :facepalm:

Knew it was coming.

So before you sell your GT early, decide if you want your name dragged through the court system and a nice big legal bill.

OOPS, I actually met the folks who purchased his car. Can't say who, but you may see it show up somewhere soon.

John Draneas, the “collector car attorney”, has an article in SCM about this whole deal. “Legal Files”, Feb 2018 edition.
