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.
