Not sure why you think everyone's value proposition is the same. i see no problem with the sticker cost of the Mach 1 fully loaded. Ford is in the business to make money. Yes, they will attempt to do this at the expense of the buyer using whatever they feel they need to do. They will try to extract every penny they can and nostalgia is a powerful weapon. They know there are folks who will happily pay more for something they feel is important to them and quite frankly, in my opinion that is ok. Are they in some way providing a Mach 1 in some false advertising or hiding some facts that would be underhanded or illegal? If not, then maybe there is really nothing wrong with getting one.
For those that have the money and don't care that the car may only be "worth" 40k in parts bin parts, getting one is just fine. I for one would be happy to buy one if they eventually come out with a grabber blue version and if they don't the orange looks mighty good too. Trust me, the 50k+ that I would need to pay is just a means to an end.
Maybe this iteration of the Mach 1 is just not for you (psst that is ok too!). I get that maybe you wanted it to be something more. I would have liked to see it be even more special, but it isn't so either you get one or wait to see if there is another special version. My guess is that the next special version will be a hybrid or full EV. If that floats your boat you will most likely be in luck! Hey, if they come out with a Boss version in a few years, I will have to seriously consider it, whether I get a Mach 1 or not.
