Means nothing. Things evolve. I could easily see a day where you could buy a Ford online. If I could do it right now, I would hit the order button on a Bullitt.

I am not surprised some dealers are asking for ADMs . It always happens with a new model. However, there will be dealers selling at MSRP for patient buyers.

Canada...??
Saw the Bullitt yesterday at the Vancouver show! Very nice!! But a Ford rep who's job is touring with this "concept car" says it will be crushed!! It is not equipped with any safety items at all! It's basically a shell with a hand assembled interior. They will strip all parts and crunch the shell! This one was base/clear and perfect paint...he reminded me, this is not a production vehicle at all!!
He also predicts the Canadian base will be $70G's!! He Buddy at Head Office is saying more like $65G's!! ...ONLY SOLD AT SVT dealers and allocated! There will be very few for the Canadian Market....and a big YES..without a doubt, there will be dealer ADM!! he knows of a few where the buyer has already plunked down $100G's and say..."Just get me one" it's gonna be a crazy ride guys!!!! So it's not just an option code....it is a limited production in Numbers!!!

In 2015 I met John Clor at a Mustang show hosted by a SAAC club. He told a story of the 2008 Bullitt. The original test mule was painted red, not HG, in order to hide it from prying eyes.
At that time he said the car had not yet been crushed. Although it could not be titled as it had no VIN, Clor was campaigning for Ford to give the car away to the MCA or a Bullitt club with the caveat that it only remained a show car and never driven. He felt that it would a significant car to preserve.
Never did hear if that ever happened.

I call BS. These pre production cars are built full spec on the regular production line. The only correct thing he said is that most of them will be disassembled after the introduction.

That is not necessarily the case.
I have been in more than a few Mplate vehicles that have inert airbags.
Cars have different purposes, so various aspects of them may be live for various reasons.

:doh:
The only thing limiting the Bullitt's production, is the amount of engines they can make.
There is nothing special about the Bullitt's production that is limited, or time consuming. It easier to make/assemble than a regular GT, because it has less parts.
ADM will be for the impatient People who can't wait, & need their car yesterday. Ford can make 8k of these a year, so expect the first 500 to probably be "marked-up" by dealers who prey on tryhards who have money.
Expect about 12k Bullitt's on the road... over the next 2-years.

I don't think even that should be a limiting factor, as the assembly process isn't something that would go on a niche line. The open air element box should go on at FRAP.
With this I agree, especially because there is volume outside of North America.

Just repeating what the Ford Canada rep said!! They wouldn't open the hood as it was not even powered by the Bullitt engine! He has toured with some cars that basically had little more than a lawn mower engine...just enough to manover!
Has anyone "ACTUALLY" seen these Show cars with their hood up???? I'll bet not! :cheers:

Allocation of Bullitt
So How many Bullitt cars will Ford build. I have no inside information but just look at Ford motor company sales figures. The number of cars sold is down every year for 5 years. The only positive numbers are for trucks and SUVs. In fact Mustang sales are down 40% form 2016. The company needs to sell more cars. If the Flat Rock factory has the capacity to build 1000 Bullitts per month, Ford will build them and sell them. We the fans of the Mustang sweat the availability of the cars we lust for, but the rest of the world wants an SUV. Ford finally has a sales winner, if I were running the Ford company I would buy green paint by the truck load.

You make a very good point. That would explain the over the top press release Ford put out the other day. I don't seem to remember them doing quite as much with the other Bullitts. Anyone else think it was unusual to anounce the order banks being opened in a press release?
