yes, it has been in the bronco, the baby bronco, the bullitt a few years back,So does that confirm it’s got batteries in it ?
Strange cutout if it’s only standard IC, why just not use the standard motorsport style red key type ... ?
Why have a cutout at all ?
Has that type of cutout been spotted in prototype ford vehicles that were proven IC only when they publicly launched ?

You quoted me out of context. Let me add it back:I'll just address this last sentence. How can you even make this comment. Of course the Mach 1 is going to have a high sticker. Don't all special edition cars? If your not a fan don't buy it, get a base GT for under $40K. That's still what the Mustang is all about. Did making the GT350 help kill the Mustang? Did the Bullitt? Did the GT500? Value is in the eye of the beholder. Go back to 2015 where there were folks who thought the GT350 was nothing but a low end Mustang with a nice sounding engine. Bet you wouldn't agree with that. Folks waiting for the Mach 1 won't agree with you either.If you see this Mach 1 debut with a $55k sticker, you know Ford has made the decision to kill the Mustang off bit by bit. They just have to keep making cars that aren't a good value for money, and people will continue to not buy them.
I specifically mentioned the Chevrolet and the C7, so we'll expand on that.Chevrolet, even though as I mentioned before they're b****rds for not making a manual C8, do not play this game. The ZL1 Camaro and Z06 C7 could be bought all day long for under MSRP, and they're great value for money. Only the ZL1 C7 was priced as crazy as the new GT500 is relative to what you get - but they still made plenty of the "special" cars for the masses. Before the pandemic there were lots of dealers selling the C8 at MSRP, even though production was limited.
I hear what your saying but it just doesn't work like that. The entire collectables industry is built on limited edition models. As an example, Omega probably has a couple of dozen special/limited editions of their famous moon watch. They still make a version of the original but if you want something special you're going to pay for it. Same goes for cars be it Ford or any other manufacturer. Part of these reason these cars are special is their exclusivity. Do GT500 owners what to see them going up and down the road all day. No, that's part of what makes them special. Ford continues to make a number of bread and butter models for the masses. If a Mach 1 is special to you and you have the means then buy one. If it's not don't.The exclusivity, artificially limited production and ADM's are cancer. Ford should just let dealers (and by extension customers) order as many of the cars as they want. There were 72,458 Mach 1's built in 1969, the first year of production. The Mach 1 accounted for 24% of Mustang production that year. This is what built the success of the Mach 1 name, not ADMs and artificially limited production.
That's my plan. It's early enough to contact multiple dealerships and see who will work with you or not. The Job #1 of MY21 is set as January 4th (for now), and a Mach 1 would probably be Job #2, so lots of time to negotiate.It's simple, put down a deposit and get it in writing somewhere that you won't be paying ADM. If the dealership is good at working with people, I don't see this being a problem considering the massive profit they get from an MSRP sale anyway. Not to mention, this will be produced a lot heavier than the GT500 so getting allocations is not going to be a problem.
I congratulate you on your optimism and certainly hope you get what you’re looking for. That said it is expected that the Mach 1 is going to be far more popular than the Bullitt and we know how that went.That's my plan.
