Want a 50 Year Limited Edition Mustang? It Might Cost More than You Think.
Some clubs require certain credentials before they grant membership. However, if you want to be one of the 1,964 people in the 50 Year Limited Edition Mustang owners club, you don't need to be a superior driver. You just need to have the money to buy your way in.

Some clubs require certain credentials before they grant membership. For instance, you have to be one of the best players in the NBA to make the All-Star team. That means you have to sweat more, run faster, and shoot the ball more accurately than your competitors.
However, if you want to be one of the 1,964 people in the 50 Year Limited Edition Mustang owners club, you don’t need to be a superior driver. You just need to have the money to buy your way in (although being able to say you “know a guy” at a dealership definitely won’t hurt).

As you can imagine, though, nobody knows the finite number of spots open in that special group better than Ford’s dealers. That’s why some of them are charging hefty markups on the $46,170* rolling homages to the original blue oval pony car. There are at least two dealerships out there that are tacking around $20,000 onto the stickers of their anniversary ‘Stangs.

Granted, the dealers that are lucky enough to get their hands on the cars will only get one or two them, but isn’t a “market value adjustment” in the neighborhood of 40 percent a bit much? What do you all think? Would you pay close to $70K to be one of the 1,964 people who owns one of the 50 Year Limited Edition Mustangs?

My local dealership still has their blue one with no markup just saying. 😃

The fact that one still exists at MSRP is evidence that the demand is not there for these to become collectible.
Also it serves this dealer right to be stuck with it for being so greedy in the first place. It's a dangerous game to ignore MSRP and set your own price because "the market will bear it." If you're wrong, you are the one left with the supply when demand dries up.

I'd have a field day with that dealer if I was in the market.
Greedy bastard asking $100k for a $46k car ... now the car's been sitting for over a year, might need an engine any day (see this fun thread), and you still want MSRP for the car?
Yeah OK, good luck with that.

All that said...
...where is it?
Not that I want it, but still. Be kinda nice to know, maybe someone will pick the poor thing up from the dealer and give it a nice home...

Here is a link to the car. It has been in the showroom the entire time. Many Roush cars & a couple GT350s have made this car look rather plain and lonely over the past year or so.
In the time it's been on the lot, I've seen issues with the doors not closing correctly. When you close the door, it looked like it was only half latched. It might have been because the battery was disconnected and the window wouldn't roll down.
BTW, this dealership also did a 2016 Lightning tribute truck with a Roush supercharger on it.
