A lot of dealers did that, I worked at a Ford dealership in like 1981 when I was a kid, and the owner had a little collection of his own. There was a small shop off of the main service department that was kept locked and he had a 71 LTD convertible, a 73 Mustang convertible, a 50's era (no idea actual year) Crown Victoria, a '79 Indy Pace Car Mustang, an '82 Mustang GT, and a 69 Mach 1 that I remember. all of the cars he took new were red cars, seemed he had a preferred color. There were others but those are the ones I remember. The Crown Vic was a custom/restoration, like they would have been done when he was a kid in the early 60s, which I thought was pretty cool. The 70s and newer ones I was told were all brand new taken from inventory and locked away.A very nice original! I'll be surprised if it gets anywhere near the asking price, though. I do recall Ford dealers hanging on to 73 convertibles thinking we'd never again see manufacturers producing convertibles. Cadillac El Dorado convertibles in 1976 were also tucked away for preservation.
