The leaked info comes from AllFordMustangs, which recently published screenshots of the purported documents. Most notably, Ford will require dealers to have a dedicated clean room just for the GT. Only a certified technician and salesperson are allowed to be inside this room while a car is being serviced.
Ford also specifies that dealers purchase an enclosed trailer for transporting the GT to and from the customer’s home, although the company does offer a few options as to what specific trailer to buy. Additionally, dealers will need to acquire a specific set of wheel dollies to raise the car up high enough to access its jacking points. Since the GT is constructed around a carbon-fiber tub, special care must be taken in lifting the car.

Intense servicing requirements are nothing new for cars of the GT’s caliber, but it’s funny to imagine these sorts of procedures taking place at a Ford dealer. The GT might be Ford’s tribute to the big middle finger it raised to Ferrari at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1966, but its sales and servicing procedure is straight out of the Ferrari playbook.
