FORD TO AUCTION FIRST SHELBY GT350R MUSTANG [UPDATE: SOLD FOR $1 MILLION!]

[1320']

Wealth envy much?

Yup

I don't care if the wealthy can do this because that is their money, they earned it.

Besides, I'm wealthy compared to some. Everyone is "wealthy" compared to someone.

At least the new Firewall Forward Body Panels are better aligned. The Doors appear to match the Rockers, as well.

Disadvantage of using the same rear sheet-metal is that they still can't get the trunk to align, although the Black Plastic seems to fit.

Spoiler will push the Trunk into alignment.

Tax write off for the 1%. This auction stuff needs to end. Why not raffle it off to an average joe enthusiast instead of some fat cats who will store it in a garage forever.

Look how much press Ford is getting for this selling for $1mil. Combine that with the fact that a charity gets $1mil and this is a no brainier.

Yeah, but what if 10,000,000 ticket holders tuned-in to see if they won?
$200,000,000! All the charity money and publicity you could ask for. Like PowerBall!

LOL! Saw where, like his alter-ego LOWDOWN, Seven Oh Joe's account over on Camaro5 is now suspended, too. Guess the mods had to make an example since he broke their site rules. Again. Too bad, too, because I can just imagine the vitriol he would be spewing forth regarding this suspect GT350R 'Ring time!

Wonder what he did to break the site rules...

Wonder what he did to break the site rules...

That's easy. Having been banned and continuing to post under a new screen name. Their rules state:

"Re-visit, re-engage or apply for membership in the event that your current membership or access to the Site has been revoked, banned, or otherwise limited."

Despite his obvious disdain for anything not GM, he seemed like a pretty intelligent person. You'd think he'd know better.

Generally, it's a tax write-off for Ford, not the person who bought it - that person paid for a car. Perhaps with enough creative accounting one could write of the difference between MSRP/appraisal of an item and what you would pay for it through charity, or maybe they broker the deal so that you pay MSRP and 'donate' the rest in lieu of a single transaction. *shrug*
