Double ouch, actually: From the dealership home page (
www.metroford.com) --> Quote » Ah, the 2006 Ford GT "Heritage" just arrived at Metro Ford. It is a limited edition, of only 250. Every car enthusiast dream and every collector's must. One of the most tantalizing pieces of moving art in the world.In heritage blue paint with epic orange stripes, the 2006 Ford GT "Heritage" is sure to turn heads....I guess that makes each of the other 249 remaining worth just a bit more!
