Discussions in another thread got me thinking, how many people are the original registered owner of the that same car. My guess is less than a 1000.

Are you the Original Registered and current owner of a 05/06 Ford GT?

1. Is that number less that 500?

2. Between 500 and 1000

3. Between 1001 and 1500

4. Between 1501 and 2000

5. Between 2001 and 2500

6. 2501 and over

Yes, original owner here.

I am guessing the low end of "3" (between 500 or 1000)

ed

numbering system changed, now it is a "2"

How is Original owner determined? There were cars sold at the dealer on MSO and the Ford Motor Company start date was recorded with Ford. Is the person that Bought the cars and re sold them on MSO with old start date the Original owner and the persons that bought it from him considered the second owner in Ford Motor Company's eyes? I bought mine in 2008 from the original dealer and received a start date of 7-2008 and bumper to bumper warranty until 7-2011 and am an Original owner. Some have said if the car buyer's money did not go to Ford the they are not original owner and that is why the new application process is being used? Just something I have wondered and not sure the correct answer. I would guess # 3, Between 500 and 1,000

I would think the original owner is whomever the car is first titled and registered, and not the original dealer who kept the car on MSO for 1 or 2 or more years or another dealer(s) who bought the car from the original dealer, which happened a lot in '06-07' when large dealerships with high volume bought all the FGT from the small dealerships who only received 1 or may be 2 allocations and could not sell any of them.
I original bought a yellow '05 and then traded it in '06 for my Heritage which I am the original and still the current owner.

Is your name on the original title/registration.

The titles do not state Original title. Titles just say the state.I have just inspected my titles and my 2005 says New in the box asking previous state. My 2006 that I purchased was previously titled and that title say's CA in previous state showing not original owner? But if I lived in Cali and moved to FL and registered the second car it would say Cali for previous state. Not a big deal as I'm sure Ford knows just wondered if the person that started the sale date was the original owner or first registered for highway use was considered original owner. There had to be paper work filled out at the dealer when it left causing the warranty start date to be initialized.I also have two titles for newly purchased new never registered Ford cars and the tag office did not put new in the previous state box?

I think this is a real question and just something to think about. Great thread...

Is guess Ford will just go by oasis. So if "x" bought a car but didn't title it by holding the mso and then sold it to "y" who appears as first title original owner is still "x" not "y". There wont be 3 people all claiming to be "original owner". I'll also guarantee Ford will make this totally unambiguous in the rules.

Picked it up new, for sticker, November 2005, with our then 4 year old in the right seat. Now he is 15, and yesterday was another driving lesson, learning to drive a stick (not the gt yet duh...).

I was thinking more of an "Are you the original owner of your Ford GT: Yes / No" type poll.

I would be surprised if it's over 1k.

Wasn't looking for a Forum "roll call" but more of an overall opinion on how many original owners are left. This criteria could be a factor in new GT allocations and I'm trying to get a line on who's reputation I need to smear or how many I may need to simply just knock off.:secret:

I am the original owner. Also had it as my dealer demo for 2 years first. Ford or possibly Carfax can help answer the "original" question.
