Now you are making stuff up. I never wrote "millions of them at $25,000".

Ford COULD build the GR-1 on the Mustang platform, or even the Fusion platform, thus saving all the millions of dollars in development costs. Of course, the market for a completely custom-engineered beast is very slim. Sure, they lose all the buyers who want a properly-engineered sports car. I would wager that those customers are FAR fewer than your typical Mustang buyer. LOTS of buyers buy their cars on LOOKS alone, as long as it fills their needs. Remember, Ford built the original 64 1/2 Mustang on the Falcon chassis, and sold over a million Mustangs those first couple of years.

I think the GR-1, on a rebodied Mustang chassis, (and possibly called the Thunderbird!) would have the capability of selling over 100,000 units a year, if priced correctly.
