The $500,000 hardcore 2025 Ford Mustang money alone can't buy: New supercharged V8-powered muscle car could be the brand's most exclusive car (www.carsguide.com.au)

Money alone isn’t enough to secure the $US325,000 ($505,000) hardcore coupe, with Ford asking potential buyers to make a pitch on why they should have the privilege of owning one.

How is this legal?

Exotics and others have been doing this for years. You could walk into a Ferrari dealer with enough cash to buy one and you would get turned down if it’s a new or exclusive model.

Heck even buying a used one is difficult.

Ford will likely be expecting potential buyers to also buy a number of other high-margin vehicles as a prerequisite to further squeeze the market.
