    How many Heritage GT to be produced?

    Ford limits the production by having qualifying dealers enter a lottery for the car. A dealer cannot order a Heritage the same way as a normal GT. My guess is only Ford knows how many are produced. There have been 2 lotterys and we have not won yet ! Tom S.

    Saw a GTX1 on CA-280

    Ron Kimble has the car in his studio until tomorrow when a transporter will take it away. He's had the car since last week.
