OC Welch has a long and illustrious history of attaching outrageous prices to his Ford GTs to draw attention to them, while ultimately selling for significantly less. I don't think this car is even actually for sale and just remains as a promotional tool for the dealership. They sold off a large number of their other GTs in recent years.
A couple of years ago every GT the dealership owned was on eBay as a bulk sale for something like $3,500,000.
I don't think he was trying to manipulate the market, just trying to get something up that he thought (and correctly so) would get attention. Mission accomplished again!
OK....but I do remember one of the brands doing this a while back, specifically to move the rpice.....I think it was the Cobra group, but it sure sounds like a Ferrari thing......

He did the same thing - same ad a few months ago and gradually reduced the price over a few weeks. I think it was even the same car. There was a thread here about that a while back about it.

I called him a few weeks ago. He said he was going to keep it. I think he just likes doing this for some reason.
