Ford Tightens Grip on Mustang GTD Sales, Bans Flipping for Two Years
Ford enforces a strict no-flip policy on its $325K Mustang GTD, echoing its Ford GT sales strategy.
Ford's most extreme Mustang ever—the 2025 Mustang GTD—is finally rolling off the line, but early buyers eager to cash in on its exclusivity are in for disappointment. Ford is enforcing a strict two-year ownership rule before owners can resell the car, a policy designed to curb speculative flipping and ensure the high-performance pony car reaches true enthusiasts first.
The Mustang GTD, priced from $325,000 with some variants topping $429,000, is Ford's boldest take on the nameplate yet. Designed as a track-ready homologation special, it's being hand-assembled by Multimatic, the same Canadian company responsible for the Ford GT supercar. Unlike standard Mustangs built in Ford's mass-production plants, each GTD is meticulously crafted, contributing to its rarity.
Production, which began earlier this year, surged in June, with 31 cars completed that month alone—accounting for 66 percent of all GTDs built so far. The current total sits at 47 units, but that number is expected to grow steadily as Ford ramps up deliveries to hand-picked customers.
The decision to restrict resale echoes Ford's controversial approach with the Ford GT. Buyers of that supercar were also required to sign contracts agreeing to keep their cars for two years, though some—most notably wrestling star John Cena—tested the limits of that agreement. Ford is expected to be far more aggressive this time around in enforcing its contracts.
With power, exclusivity, and six-figure prices, the Mustang GTD is already shaping up to be one of the most collectible Blue Oval machines in history. But anyone hoping to flip one for a quick payday will have to sit tight—or risk a very public battle with Ford's legal team.

Terry McLaurin skips start of Commanders training camp, placed on Reserve/Did Not Report List as WR seeks a new deal
Terry McLaurin is officially holding out. The Washington Commanders wide receiver missed a conditioning drill at the start of training camp on Tuesday and has since been placed on the Reserve/Did Not Report List. All other Commanders players were present for the drill, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. McLaurin's absence signals the start of a holdout as the two-time Pro Bowl receiver seeks a new contract. McLaurin is approaching the third year of a three-year, $68.4 million contract with an average annual salary of $22.8 million. Amid a surging market with multiple receivers making more than $30 million annually, McLaurin is reportedly seeking $30-plus million per season. [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] McLaurin's also approaching his age-30 season in a league where elite performance after 30 years old at the position is not the norm. The Commanders want to retain McLaurin but are reportedly not close to meeting his desire for $30-plus million per season. What McLaurin, Commanders have said about negotiations Commanders general manager Adam Peters addressed McLaurin's status during a news conference earlier Tuesday. "Just like with all of our players, we're expecting everybody to be here today," Peters said of McLaurin. "Without a doubt, I think everybody in this building values Terry very much. ... "In terms of where we're at, we've had conversations recently, and we'll look to have some more conversations. And we're gonna do everything we can in order to get a deal done." McLaurin, who sat out mandatory minicamp, told reporters last week that he was "frustrated" by the lack of progress on a new contract and that he wants "to be here." "With how the market is today, it conveys what guys of my caliber are deserving of," McLaurin said, per ESPN. "I feel I fit in that box because of how I've carried myself on and off the field. "I don't want to feel like you have to beg for someone to see your worth and value. Everything in previous regimes, and now I've done everything asked of me." McLaurin's case for a new deal McLaurin is a six-season NFL veteran who's played his entire career with the Commanders. He's emerged as one of the most consistent and productive receivers in football with 1,000-plus receiving yards in each of the last five seasons. He's started each game he's played in his career and has never played fewer than 14 games in a season. He's started all 17 regular-season games in each of the last four seasons. He's remained a reliable producer despite a rotating cast under center in Washington as 11 different quarterbacks have started for the Commanders since he joined the franchise in 2019. For the first time in decades, the Commanders have stability at quarterback after the fast-track emergence of 2024 rookie Jayden Daniels, who earned Rookie of the Year and Pro Bowl honors while leading the Commanders to the playoffs for the first time since 2020. McLaurin was Daniels' favorite target and saw his own production increase as the tandem repeatedly connected for big plays throughout the season. McLaurin finished 2024 with 82 catches for 1,096 yards and 13 touchdowns, by far the most of his career. He'd previously eclipsed five touchdowns in a season just once when he caught seven as a rookie. The stakes are high in Washington with expectations elevated for the second season of the Daniels era. McLaurin's seeking to leverage those stakes into a lucrative new deal.
