Ford Mustang GTD approved for Australia, with a catch

[5.0ALM]

This article, FYI, begs the question.... who is it?

The fastest Ford Mustang ever made could soon be making an appearance Down Under.

While Ford’s local arm has no plans to bring the Mustang GTD to Australia – priced from around A$500,000 – the Federal Government’s Department of Infrastructure has opened a pathway for the track-oriented model to be personally imported.



CarExpert understands one Australian collector has secured a factory allocation of the GTD, and was likely the driving force behind the approval.

Even if the vehicle was able to meet local registration requirements, Ford currently only manufactures the Mustang GTD in left-hand drive – meaning the vehicle is likely to remain an unregistered, track-only vehicle in most Australian states and territories.

Over the ditch here we can register and drive LHD cars if they've been owned overseas for a year, or are older classic cars.
No provisions like that in OZ?
