:wow2:

I bet he already has a few offers.

I know the dealership. I am fi ding it hard to believe that they didn't know what they had.

Somewhat of an oversight on Ford's part. Should have been a PR generator at a Barrett Jackson type event (not a fundraiser, but a PR generator).

+1,but what if they didn't...i'm sure someone's scratching is head now....

:wow2:What a great story for the "little guy" to get #1 off the assembly line. If it truly is #1.

[CH53Driver]

If it is truly #1, I've seen where Corporate has stepped in an "bought" the car back over a "mistake" like this. Will be interesting to see what comes of this. He may end up with a free Boss, money in the bank and have to give back #1.

[JTB]

Great story and nice that the car WILL be driven as opposed to just being stored.

Great story...I vaguely remember a similar story about the very first Mustang ever produced in 1964 1/2....I believe Ford bought it back from the guy and gave him a new car besides....it was a neat story.

Yeah I remember that ...he was a pilot and it was a 64.5 Wimbledon white straight-6, I think ...he was the original owner.

Did some searches but couldn't find it.

Looks like the guy is ready to cash in.

Interesting, he ended it early. Yesterday the bidding was up to $69,300 the reserve not yet met.

[68fastback]

Wow! Good find, Rick!

Well, can't say I blame him. Hope he makes enough to pay for another one like he was saying! Would be cool to keep 0001 but as a dad with young kids I can understand him going this route.

He sold it locally.

[Shlbylvr]

He sold it locally.

OK he said if somebody local would be interested he would stop the auction.
