John Cena Has Apologised To Ford And Settled Over GT Sale Lawsuit
All has not been well between Ford and that guy from the memes John Cena. The WWE star found himself on the receiving end of a lawsuit from the Blue Oval, having sold his GT supercar just two weeks after taking delivery, breaking the 24-month no-sale period aimed at combating flippers.
Cena’s lawyers had previously asserted that the man had done nothing wrong, claiming the clause wasn’t in the final contract. Now though, Cena has reached a settlement with Ford.
In a statement from the 41-year-old’s legal team sent to Jalopnik, he said that “I love the Ford GT and apologize to Ford, and encourage others who own the car to respect the contract,” adding, “I am pleased we could resolve this matter outside of court, and that a worthy charity will benefit from one of the most iconic cars in the world.”
The amount of the settlement is not known.
A few weeks ago it emerged the dealer which sold the car on - New Autos Inc - is also subject to legal action from Ford. The car company attempted to stop New Autos from selling it, although the Chico, California-based establishment has said that the car came and went some weeks before it had been contacted by Ford.
Ford is seeking damages, court costs and the return of the car itself.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

I hope hes learned his lesson that you dont flip a car so quickly even if hes JOHN CENA Plays John Cena meme music
There’s a A missing at the end of Cena in the first sentence
Noticed that too, maybe its because Cena did a 5 knuckle shuffle on Matts head and now he is in a daze…or he just “you cant see me”
you can’t see me
Maybe the car is not as good as they want him to advertise and that last sentence was just made so FORD shuts up.
That could be why buyers had to have social media influence to get one, shmee and that limp wrist with the blue one come to mind
Slightly off topic, but on a ‘Behind The Glass’ podcast some time ago, Sam brought up the idea that car manufacturers shouldn’t say how many special edition cars are to be produced. This, in theory, would help stop flippers from jacking up the prices after taking delivery. Because nobody knows how rare they are.
I thought that was a good idea, personally…
I love the Ford GT. I love every single thing about it. But guess what? Noone would buy it if they didn’t know how little there would be made. Noone would buy a Performante, a 675Lt. Noone cares about special edittions if they don’t know how little will be made
My point. There is two types of people, those who brag about how little cars are made, and those who filp cars to the first type of people. Noone else buys these cars unfortunately.
That’s extremely naive of you. Carmakers actively profit off the speculation and hype those exact special editions generate. That trend isn’t disappearing any time soon.
Cough cough Ferrari Enzo cough cough.
Not telling how many are made would destroy the single purpose why manufacturers do that in the first place.
Instead of this they simply could go the way Porsche does and not sell limited cars to known car flippers.
That secret wouldn’t stay secret for long.
Anybody just see the Ford GT there?
I see the car but the driver, i don’t.
He sets it on fire two minutes later
The ford GT is lit
Even with the potential to make profit off of it, why would you want to sell it? It’s a Ford GT for Christ’s sake!! If I ever had the opportunity to own that car it would be driven everywhere and would have a spot in my house. Sick of these millionaires not appreciating the cars for what they are made for and just seeing them as investments
He said he needed the cash, I believe. Pretty sure financial stability is more important than having a GT.
But this is CT, so I must be wrong! :D
