The $5.5 million BIN is a bit steep, but there is a lot of cool documentation in the ebay auction, so check it out! Think it would make a good investment? Via Jalopnik

It indeed makes no sense that Ford could have regained ownership of this, the first Mustang, only to have lost it again. Heck I’m a GM guy (mostly) and I see this as well stupidity? injustice? just plain wrong? based on enlightenment from retroman…

I find it hard to believe that the Henry Ford Museum would auction off the most valuable Mustang ever built. FoMoCo fought hard over 40 years ago to buy the car back from a Canadian airline pilot after it was mistakenly sold to him. It took two years to get Mustang No. 1 back. The owner finally traded the car to Ford in exchange for Mustang No. 1,000,001. Anyway, Ford stuffed Mustang No. 1 in a storage facility till 1984 until it could be shown as a classic vehicle. They’ve kept her on display ever since, and she is one of the most complete vintage Mustangs in existence. She still even wears the vintage Canadian plates. I suppose it is possible they could auction it off though I think it’s unlikely, but I will have to check into this further.
