ok we all have to get together and start a paypal fund and donate whatever the cost is to buy it from ford before its to late and then donate it to the Henry ford museum! If it goes to SA it will more then likely get trashed and smashed!! they dont care about the history of this last car as much as we do! somebody call ford quick and see if we can buy it back and keep it here in the U.S. I am willing to drop 5 grand in the bucket first to make this happen and yes I am serious I doubt ford would do it though WHOS WITH ME??? who has contacts in ford that could make some calls?

LOL yeah, no doubt...

I find the VIN interesting, ends with 4292, there were no doubt more than that built for the '11 model year(VINs begins at 100001 for each model year)... Assuming they built 40-50K for '11, this car was serialized early in the model year but not built till the last day, wonder how much that cost the buyer???

We should take bets as to how long till the "last" CV gets rolled over and killed while in the Middle East.

Was neat to see all the signatures on the floor pan and door panels.

Sad to see this platform come to an end, at least I've my piece of history (hopefully for many years to come).

The factory police cars were painted black and white from the factory. Are the police cars just white over there?

Sorry some people are rude here.... :shake:

Police cars have come to an end as well, lots of departments "stocked" up on them and ordered extra cars this last year of the Vic. About 3-5k in equipment needed to change from a Vic to a Charger, Impala etc.

They are only offering the Taurus & Exploder now.

The GCC spec models run since the begining of the month are being sold as 2012's, so that would make 4292 about right.

Gotchya, didn't realize that...

So that means they got roughly 4300 '12s and the US got zero???
