This guy in Alabama bought a brand-new Ford Mustang GTD, the most expensive and most powerful Mustang ever made.
But now he can’t sell it.
In fact, he can’t even drive this muscle car – yet.
And the reason will surprise you.

This is why he can’t sell his Ford Mustang GTD
Most people might be familiar with the no-resale clause that some of these rare cars come with.
In essence, when you buy the car, you have to sign a contract that states you’re not allowed to sell the car for a pre-determined amount of time, usually two years.
This is because cars like the GTD are limited-edition models that immediately go up in value precisely because you can’t just go ahead and buy them.
You have to be approved first.
That’s the whole point of the no-resale clause, which also applies to the Ford GT, and other vehicles from other manufacturers.
If you ignore the clause and break the contract, you’re banned from buying future limited-edition models in the best-case scenario, or you go to court in the worst-case scenario.
The reason why he can’t drive it might surprise you
You’re obviously free to take your new Ford GTD for a spin the moment you take delivery of the muscle car, but you probably shouldn’t.
As the guys from TC Customs – a tuning firm and Ford dealer in Alabama – explain, this would be a bad idea.
The Ford Mustang GTD is made entirely out of carbon fiber, which means the body can be easily damaged by debris and little rocks that the tires pick up as you drive along.
Ideally, you should wrap the car to protect the paint, but you have to wait for 30 days to let the original paint gas out; otherwise, you’re going to damage it.
So, in theory, for 30 days, you can’t wrap it, and therefore you couldn’t drive it.
Then again, if you were allowed and invited to buy the most powerful Mustang ever made, that’s almost certainly not your only car anyway.
