Yes buyers signed a agreement with Ford that the would not sell for two years or Ford could take legal action against them. This car had already sold once or twice. I was told Ford tried legal action on two other cars and lost both times.

My buddy has been in line for one and believes because thes 2 year-covenants are not enforceable that Ford could raise prices. Apparently the Canadian co that builds these also has a turbulent relationship w Ford. All interesting.

Yeah I reckon John Cena’s car was one of them. Not sure about the other one.

Wonder how they are losing these cases?

It may be a case of an unenforceable covenant. Just because Ford says they don't want you to sell your 2017 Ford GT for 24 months doesn't mean it's legal.
