As a 2022 Heritage allocation, this speculation just adds to my already out of control excitement! This journey has been so much fun and I owe it all to Ford. I couldn’t be more grateful!
Good news for 2022 owners ?

Congratulations on the last year Heritage allocation. Have you gotten or heard any speculation on what the last Heritage livery will be? I'm hoping they do the livery where it all started, with the blue/white stripe #73 of Miles/Ruby when it won '65 Daytona and the first ever race win for any GT40. That would be a great and fitting ending. Hoping they show it off this week during Car Week (but probably won't).

I’m sure this is all a carefully guarded secret - and should be. It just adds to the excitement for me!

I spoke with the concierge a few days ago. It is still a carefully guarded secret.
That said, the 2021 was revealed a year ago next week. So, hopefully we’ll all know soon!
Who wants to hear all the Heritage details!

LoL, I only wish. The screen name is for my 2006 Vista Blue Mustang GT, lol. I'm only a fan of the car as I was selling Fords from 1997-2020 and was around the Ford GT a lot as my small dealership got #193 in 2005 and I have several friends who have them (a few are forum members).
You painted your GT Vista Blue? Isn't it a gorgeous shade of blue? I absolutely love the color of my car! Especially since adding painted LeMans stripes to it.
I'd love more pics of your car.LoL, I only wish. The screen name is for my 2006 Vista Blue Mustang GT, lol.

Yes I painted my blk car vista blue 9 years ago. First it had a tungsten heritage stripe and now it is solid blue.
Darn, they forgot to include the V8 or the aero kit in the PR for the "final year of production." So there you have it (or rather, at least some of it), for the "final year of production."
I think that silver car designation is TT5, which was the first aesthetic mule for the original Comp series. An engineer brought it by one day early in the program. Marketing has most or maybe all of the leftover cars at this point, so if there's someone from the actual program team with a legit reason to drive one, it's probably that one.
All that tape on the rockers is covering NACA ducts that got cut into that for air inlet a couple years ago that never got used (mkII stuff). Those goofy exhaust pipes are the test setup, so that you can hook up a dump pipe with a V-band clamp to them in a closed test room and not spew fumes everywhere. The oil cap is...the normal oil cap just without the shroud around it.
I honestly have no idea why the car was being driven around other than to say if there was any engineering shit being done at this point, the last thing I heard about involving any engineering was some California-related emissions issue for which there was no waiver for that required a hardware change. Seeing cars like this driving around here is just normal. I see a bunch of mules every single day from every company in the area. It's easy to take a pic and post clickbait saying "our top secret sources say something super secret is occurring!" Or some dude from Roush got the opportunity to take a test car to Chipotle.

Saw a You Tube video - I don't know the date - about a 7.3 liter V8 in the GT. Showed alleged prototype photo(s). Highly doubtful, to say the least, but wonder if anyone saw the same post - or whatever the hell you call it- on You Tube, whatever the hell that is.
Tangent. 6.2 l in my F350 is a real dog. Anyone know if 7.3 Godzilla would be a plug-and-play swap. Love to do that and put a NOS " 427 with crossed flags "insignia from '63 on the fender.
