The Mustang GTD is an exceedingly particular and wildly uncommon piece of equipment. We hope not less than some consumers will climb behind the wheel and benefit from the automobile for its supposed function. Sadly, we suspect many will have a look at it, drive it a handful of mild miles, then tuck it right into a climate-controlled storage till they will promote it for a tidy revenue. Such house owners must wait not less than two years for such a possibility.
It does not come as a giant shock. Ford required the same settlement with consumers of its earlier limited-edition enjoyable machine, the Ford GT. As reported by Ford Authority, GTD consumers will not be capable of do a fast flip below any circumstances. A Ford spokesperson confirmed the settlement within the following assertion to Motor1.
“Ford Mustang GTD clients comply with confidential phrases and situations that embody a dedication to keep up possession for 2 years.”

That deal could possibly be robust for some Mustang GTD consumers to abide by. Ford revealed that over 7,500 individuals utilized to purchase the automobile, and that is simply in North America. Official manufacturing numbers for the GTD have been by no means introduced, however the GTD utility talked about a run of 300 to 700 vehicles per yr. In a best-case situation, that is 1,400 vehicles for the preliminary two-year run—leaving 6,100 consumers foaming on the mouth to get one.
That begs the query: how a lot are individuals keen to pay to get a Mustang GTD? Ford’s official beginning value is already lofty at roughly $325,000, and that does not embody choices just like the Efficiency Package deal—a requirement if you wish to do a sub-seven-minute lap on the Nurburgring. When you recall the case of John Cena’s Ford GT, he broke the two-year requirement after allegedly flipping his automobile for a “massive revenue,” in keeping with Ford. We do not know the implications of breaking the GTD settlement, but when somebody confirmed up with 1,000,000 bucks to purchase your $325,000 Mustang, these penalties simply may be value it.
We’ll discover out quickly sufficient, as GTD deliveries ought to already be underway.
