100% wrong. Please edit your post as a question and not and answer. I say this because alot of miss information is going around.You have to have a "GOLDEN TICKET" allocation, to get GT500!!!

A Golden Ticket car is one with CFTP and painted stripes. The Golden Ticket allocation is the only way to purchase said car. If you elect to order your GT500 without painted stripes or CFTP, your car was still ordered with the Golden Ticket allocation, but you removed the options that made the car a Golden Ticket.
My thinking was you didn't need a Golden Ticket to get painted stripes or the CFTP, but you did need it to get both. I'm incorrect in thinking that though.How do you explain that there were only 1598 Golden Tickets issued out of 5930 VINs?
I could be wrong...but everything I have read states a GOLDEN TICKET is the CF Track Pack. The painted stripe has zero to do with anything other than being an option.
By that definition then a Golden Ticket is simply the option to have...Read post #12

1. Painted Stripes No CFHP
2. No Stripes CFHP
3. Painted Stripes and CFHP
Can you find a single add for a Golden Ticket without the CFHP?
Here is the reply I got back from a friend who owns one.There is a difference between the CFTP - Carbon Fiber Track Pack and the CFHP - Carbon Fiber Handling Package. In 2020 there was no CFHP, this was added to the 2021 option list.
This is for the 2020 GT500 and possibly the 2021 GT500
I haven't seen anything about the 2021 GT500 CFTP.

2. No Stripes CFTP

"Unless your DEALER bought from a GOLDEN TICKET DEALER!!!"100% wrong. Please edit your post as a question and not and answer. I say this because alot of miss information is going around.
Correct. 1aa, 1ab, 1b, and 2aa are all valid Golden Ticket configurations. They are all considered Golden Ticket cars. Think of it this way: the golden ticket "unlocks" the CFTP and painted stripe options, because Ford wanted to limit production volume of those options. Without a golden ticket allocation, you can't order either. As for 2aa, I personally agree that is a waste of a Golden Ticket allocation, but some really wanted it but had no need/want for the CFTP, hence it being an orderable configuration.Am I getting this right?? With a golden ticket allocation there are these possibilities:
1 CFTP
1a.with stripes
1aa. Painted stripes
1ab. Vinyl stripes
1b.without stripes
2 non CFTP
2a.with stripes
2aa.painted stripes
2ab.vinyl stripes
2b.without stripes
You could order options 2ab and 2b without a golden ticket allocation? (So could be considered a "waste of golden ticket")
So if you can not order 1aa, 1ab, 1b, or 2aa without a golden ticket allocation, why would they not be considered a golden ticket car?

You still make no sense."Unless your DEALER bought from a GOLDEN TICKET DEALER!!!"
"Unless your DEALER bought from a GOLDEN TICKET DEALER!!!"
You still make no sense.
A lot of dealers with Golden Tickets sold their allocations to other dealers for big money, a dealer without a Golden Ticket allocation could by one from a dealer that had one. It not only happened with the Golden Tickets, but with the standard allocations.
