Exactly. Lol. The dude in the original post should just replace his damn taillight and keep the pics and old one for the story in the future. My PP1 was an unintentional spoiler delete car too, it actually made the car less valuable because most casual buyers couldn’t tell it was a PP1.
I was at Autorama in Houston years ago with a friend of the family who collected Corvettes. There was a white second gen Corvete (I forget what year) that claimed to be a "1 of 1" with that color combination and "disk brake delete" (it had drums at all four corners). The family friend made a similar comment to yours, basically, "Just because it's rare doesn't make it valuable. Who wants a Corvette with drum brakes?"
Yea, people chase that perceived rarity by ordering oddball colors and options. They may convince themselves they have a rare car, but a god awful color and stripe combo leaves a car that has a lot to be desired.
As long as I can remember, there’s always been some kind of oddball thing (be it cars, art, whatever) that someone will tout as rare, or 1 of 1, and will try to get some inflated price for it. Doesn’t always work, but as the saying goes, there’s a sucker born every minute.
Which was an automatic option because of my DSO. Will it make the car more valuable? Highly unlikely, in my opinion. Still, a friend that works for the local collector car dealer thinks it's worth holding onto, but that's more to do with mileage and condition, I think.Yup. Well said.
Yes, I'm not 100% sure but when I changed my taillights I feel like I had to change the connection plugs to make them work. I could be wrong, or later models could have the 'newer' plug. *If* the plug is different, this isn't a factory mistake - it's been done on purpose.
These are the clear tails that were available on the Ice White package in 2022. They’re just sold under the FP banner now instead of the Ford banner. It does show they’re compatible with the 2015-2017 cars (Shelby’s included) with no modifications even though they are the 2018+ design. That leads me to believe the 2018+ OEM tails are a direct swap with the 2015-2017 tails.
Or aftermarket they may have made it so it would accommodate both right feel like I had to do something to make them work I just can't think of what it is. I know there is at least one other person on this forum that has changed to the GT tail lights also. Hopefully they will chime in
