As with most prototypes, Ford plans to crush the S-550 when production begins. Please sign this petition asking Ford not to crush this historically valuable car!
They need to scrap these so when the production line models come out, you can't refer to the original and determine what a crummy job was done in implementing the production and what line-modifications were done (quality reductions) in order to mass produce it.
Most prototypes aren't very street friendly - so the manufacturers don't want them getting into the hands of someone who will try driving it daily and then sue them.
Rest easy, 'stang lovers. I assure you atleast one or two of these prototypes will escape the crusher and find it's way to a rich investor's collection where it will never see the light of day again.
