IMO this newsletter is published by a disgruntled employee who in my opinion wouldn't know the truth if it fell on his head.

J6,
The publisher I do not believe ever worked at Ford but he does often have an axe to grind. he does however often have sources to uncover things that the mainstream misses.

Ford Motor recalls costly GT supercar
About 450 vehicles will be brought in to fix defect, which may cause loss of control.
By Eric Mayne / The Detroit News
Ford Motor Co. is recalling its $140,000 Ford GT supercar to repair a defect that could cause loss of control.
Nearly 450 vehicles - all Ford GTs built to date - are affected by a suspension component problem that originated with a supplier, said spokeswoman Kristen Kinley. The part can crack because of a casting error
[...]
Of the 448 vehicles affected by the recall, 111 are in the hands of private owners.

So where are the other 337 cars?

There is one is Australia that is being promoted by Ford. Does that help? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif Weird considering they are not going to be available here, but hey, I'm not complaining. Will hopefully get to see it early next year when I expect it will be brought up for motor show. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
Seems like a lot of Ford GT's sitting in showrooms or in transit. If production has really started to wind up, that may explain the quantity that have not been purchased. Hmm. I can feel the price dropping already. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Keep in mind that many of the cars on dealers showroom floors are "sold". Many dealers will require the car to stay for a period, say 30 to 90 dyas so they may use it as a "draw" for the public. They will not be reported sold until they are delivered.
