50th Anniversary Stang, $$WOW$$
Was visiting my local dealer the other day and noticed they had a white 50th anniversary Mustang on the floor. I was shocked at the asking price. Is this normal?
(They are remodeling, hence the visqueen in the background)
$20K over MSRP? Wow!

I have only seen one 50th in our entire part of the State, in Rapid City, and they also want $20,000 over MSRP. It is Kona Blue and I would have gone for it, and then I saw the ADM...crazy.

The ones I have found in MN are all about $12-$15k over invoice price too. For that much od a dealer mark-up, I will be satisfied without the extra 50th anniversary stuff on it.

but somebody that has it to flaunt will buy it for what it is and in 10 years will expect it to be worth 100K

If I could spend that kind of money on a toy, it would be something more like the GT350 that is coming. But I think that is a little much even for that car. I figure they will probably not get what they are asking. Sure they want to push it up as high as possible since these are possible collector cars. Just seems like gouging, guess you have to really want this one.

When I bought my 2015 GT PP, they had two Wimbledon White 50th Anniversary Mustang GT's in stock.
The dealer, Westway Ford in Irving, Texas, greedily told me they were asking for $20,000 over MSRP. I just checked to see if they still had them, which they do, and it looks like over the internet they have backed down a little, now asking $9,000 over on the Automatic, and $4,000 over on the Manual.
This is common enough that I bet there are more dealers that perform markups than there are dealers that don't.
I've read several posts on different Mustang forums where people paid sticker price for their 50th's, so it's definitely possible to get one without markup.

It remains to be seen if the LE will increase that much in value, and if it does, I'll be taking a dirt nap by that time. I don't see much sense in paying for steak and just getting sizzle. That's my personal opinion and I don't mean to detract from those nineteen hundred and sixty four owners who do buy one. It's their choice and their money, but I can guarantee that I'll be fawning all over one the first time I see a 50th at a car show or cruise night.
Now, a GT350....well that could be a different story....call it bragging rights!!!

It's only a $22,999 dealer-pocketed mark up because it's 'special'.
1964 copies aren't really all that special, y'know. Oh, sure, there's 'only' the 1964 copies, but really... 500 is more special. 10 is definitely special.
Get a regular GT and enjoy it more. Let them stew for puttin' a 40% markup on that.
10%? Sure. That's only 51K. Semi-reasonable. Still gouging, but hey... it's *special* remember?
Gottahavititis is a thing, and that's what it's aiming for.

Personally, I dont like wasting big money on same item I could get for way cheaper, but all you get is couple of badges, some number from 1 to 1964, different wheels plus small changes in few trim pieces, and paint. At this point I dont know why would someone want to pay more 50+ or even 60 grand, where you can get better cars for that price ( corvette, upcoming GT350, hellcat).
Even for MSRP thats crackpipe money to me.
