I dont mind if the car sells, because I too have a spot in my stable next to my GT Like MR.COLLIN.
Collin (NOT BASHING) but what did you pay for yours? Are you locked in or on a if come maybe list like most. This car is not an if, not a maybe, and its for sale. The rumors of production are exactly that... RUMORS. The floor is yours.

Hi Bob (aka SUPERSPORT),

Thanks for your concern about my KR. It is a confirmed order through Ford's VIP program. I am sure you are familiar with this as you are a dealer, correct? I will be getting my car 2nd qtr of 2008 at MSRP delivered through the VIP program at my local dealer. As you know, Ford is very particular as to who gets these deals and in return for this they have buyers sign a "no flip" agreement stating they will keep the car for a minimum of 60 months. That's 5 years. So until at least 2013 I will have a KR in my garage. If you remember the Ford GT VIP program requested only a 24 month hold, which I passed January of this year. But I have no plans to sell that car either.

Sorry to interrupt your war with Chuck and Frank

Oh, and I agree with everybody here - you should consider making a HEALTHY donation to the SYC. You run a ton of ads here and I don't see you posting that much in other forums than the "cars for sale" one. As you know, I am also a dealer and I bet I haven't posted more than 5 cars for sale in at least as many years here on this site. But, I enjoy this site so much and appreciate what it does for our hobby that I choose to SPONSOR it which costs far more than the $25.00 minimum donation. I am sure the Clarys would LOVE to have Extreme Classics on board as a sponsor, you'll get a nice little banner ad and your own forum. In no way as this meant to be critical or an attack, just an observation from somebody who has been watching this thread unfold.

I would also suggest the same for fellows like Patrick Krook who frequently post cars for sale here and do quite well using the SYC board to advertise and happen to be dealers or brokers. Maybe a minimum $100 donation per car sold via SYC or something?

If you notice, the two dealers who actually sponsor this site (Nickey Chicago, Stefano Bimbi; and myself) are the two guys who have the most to sell but post the least. Kinda odd, don't you agree? We also post reguarly in other sections because we live, eat and breathe musclecars and consider this place a second home at times.

Just some food for thought.

Best regards,
Colin

Good info. Colin, Good ideas as usual. The VIP program is interesting and makes it even more crazy to buy a KR for 50K over invoice, knowing that, whoever spends 50K over invoice is kookoo. IMO.
