RE THE STORY THAT FORD TOOK APRT NEW FORD GTs FOR PARTS
I thought it was on Wikipedia that I read that Ford took apart the last
ten Ford GTs built for the '
06 year so they would have parts. But when I went back to Wikipedia, I couldn't find that reference there, only found this: "The production run of 4038 GT's ended with the 2006 model year on the 21st of September, 2006, short of the originally planned 4500[6]. The Wixom Assembly plant, where the GT was finish-assembled, is scheduled for closure in 2007 and has stopped production of all models as of May 31, 2007[7]. Sales of the GT continued into 2007, from cars held in storage and in dealer inventories." But something about that rumor of dismantling ten finished cars doesn't make sense because if they stopped production at over 400 cars short of the number of cars they planned to build,they have lots of new old/stock leftover parts.
