This has nothing to do with the merits of the case, but a possible reason for Ford getting dragged into it: Does ownership transfer to Roush before the original owner makes the purchase? I know it doesn't with Saleen (and I think Shelby). If not, then it's a new, never titled car sold by the company listed on the MSO, which would be Ford.

Roush said they'd make 100 2007 Roush BlackJacks. They did. They also made 100 2008 BlackJacks. Still, 200 out of, what, 300,000 Mustangs over two years is still pretty limited.
The suit is against Ford because Ford has deeper pockets than Roush.
I think they're upset because the 2008 model looks so much better than the 2007, and the 2008 is available with a ragtop, whereas only one 2007 BlackJack convertible was built.

The judge has to read it and then throw it out.
What a waste of taxpayer money.

Well, In all honesty Ford's liability in in this suit looks questionable but the plaintiff's case against Roush is darn good ! They will be able to produce hundreds of articles and statements by Roush Performance as too only 100 to be built! In fact there are numerous statements in print by Roush that there would only be 100 BlackJack's ever to be built. I am sure Roush / Fords legal response will be that all implied statement's where for that specific production year.

Does that imply 100 2007 ROUSH Stage 3 BlackJack Mustangs, or 100 ROUSH Stage 3 BlackJack Mustangs ever?

Even if they have video of Jack Roush standing on a stack of Bibles swearing he's only going to build 100 BlackJack Mustangs, how do you prove damages? How do you prove that these cars will appreciate even $.01? Scarcity alone isn't enough to predict that - the tastes of future collectors will play a large part in dictating what is "collectible" or not, and that simply can't be predicted.

For All you I hope they win, Roush haters.....
Have a look at some of the details in this ongoing discussion, your opinion may change.

Long and short of it though, the guy who filed the suit is a tool who is looking for a quick payday to compensate for his ignorance.

All cars are on the decline now days. Its they're loss. Life’s a gamble and you can't go on the word of a car manufacturer or dealer, That’s a bad bet. They put out a hook and someone took a bite, they just didn't count on being bit back.
Well we all got bit with the 05 to 08 models taking a loss, so its time to get over it. Time will decide if the price will increase again.

It's all about how a "reasonable person" would interpret Roush's 2007 BlackJack press release, which said, "ROUSH Performance is set to offer a limited edition run of 100 ROUSH Stage 3 BlackJack Mustangs."
