BAD NEWS FOR ANYONE WAITING FOR GT500 without a VIN!!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Its not good news. Ford will only build 2,000 GT500s now. THATS IT!! I learned today and I am NOT HAPPY IN THE LEAST!!!! The link below will show you the information I posted in the GT500 thread, which shows Ford telling its dealers, you get 1 GT500 for 2010 MY, and thats all!!! If you have ordered a car, and its not assigned a VIN yet, you may be out of luck. If you ordered a car from a dealer who had ordered in before you, you DEFINITELY are out of luck (unless they locate a car, which will be HIGHLY unlikely). BAD NEWS TODAY!!!

The source of this story has retracted it. See below:

We'll begin with the news probably most pressing to Mustang fans. Yesterday, we ran a story about the limiting of production of the 2010 Ford Shelby GT500 Mustang. The enterprising reporters over at AutoBlog got in touch with Ford representatives who have said that the document released onto the web was inaccurate. Ford has not limited the production run to 2,000 units, and they don't release the production figures.

This would imply that, for whatever reason, some individual decided to forge a Ford document and drum up a story about limited GT500 production. At first it would seem like this person was trying to drive up prices on a GT500 (if they were selling their own on eBay or something), but buying a GT500 through a Ford dealer would have proven that false. And anybody in the process of shelling out $50k or more for a car would certainly have checked the market for their best option. So, it seems that this was a hoax that didn't really have a purpose.
