-

Last night, Ford sent out a whole batch of letters to prospective buyers of the 2017 GT. Thousands received the letdown letter, informing them that they haven’t been selected to purchase a new GT.

-

But up to 500 lucky souls will open their e-mail to find this joyful, resplendent letter, informing them of their newfound ability to purchase a brand-new GT. The folks at Ford GT Forum started uploading screenshots of their letters last night. You can’t blame them for being excited.

-

“Congratulations! You’ve been selected for the opportunity to purchase a new Ford GT!

-

Your passion for performance and for the Ford GT qualifies you to be among a small number of drivers selected for the opportunity to own a new Ford GT. We are thrilled to extend you this opportunity!

-

Please complete and return the attached time-sensitive documents within 10 business days so we can send your official Welcome Guide. The Welcome Guide provides essential information and formally welcomes you to the Ford GT ownership experience.”

As DragTimes explains, a second wave of e-mails went out later yesterday evening to applicants who’ve been placed on the “priority” waiting list, while a third wave offered “deferred” opportunities to those who didn’t quite make the cut. Congratulations to all 500 of the lucky GT owners who now get to spend around $450,000—and up—on their blue-oval supercars.
