If you are in contact with the owner. Would love to see more pictures of this car outside in natural light. Or if the lucky new owner is a forum member reading this post please post more pictures. The unlucky ones like myself well Pictures is all we have.

Will do.
Believe this is local delivery today. Second matte black heritage I've seen, might be the third.

It's not for me. The thing is, you really just have to be disciplined about not messing with it. No polishes, no aggressive cleaners, etc. Any care on a matte paint has to be gentle because if you treat one area differently than another, you can alter the sheen, and it will drive you insane. And don't let contaminants get on it and set in because it can be very difficult or impossible to get off without altering the surface. Can't polish out swirls or scratches really like you would on a gloss paint.
The biggest thing you can do to keep a matte finish car in good shape is keep it clean and just don't mess with it. I was pretty surprised at how good the otherwise very beat up Ford company matte black car was holding up, but that's just because they pretty never much wash, touch or otherwise mess with the paint on the cars they flog.
And I did confirm that the Matte Black Heritage above was delivered locally yesterday. Two forum member cars on that truck for delivery this weekend. :willy
I love Matte black. Might be my favorite, but the upkeep issues scare me, as I would surely mess it up.
I originally thought of getting it, but now I'm more inclined towards getting a 'regular' finish and spend the money on a matte wrap, for peace of mind. First world problems, I guess
Yeah, you can certainly still wrap a matte car. The xPel stealth stuff adds a tiny bit more shine but not much. We have two matte carbon lower cars here side by side, one with and one without, and you can tell, but it's not a massive difference. So that would definitely be my recommendation. The Matte Heritage is going to be a very rare car. I'd be surprised if there was more than 5-6.

Here's a rare combo...
Red with white stripes. Ironically, it would probably be 1 of 1!

Gentlemen,
New Ford GT's are rare no matter what color. With the extended color pallet there will be many one of one GT's. When the 2017 model year comes to a close I think one out of every 4 GT's produced will be a Heritage. Maybe more. I don't know that but I think that's a pretty good estimate. If I'm off base here a correction will be along shortly. All the best.
