2000 Ford Contour SVT
A 2000 Contour SVT with 123 miles on the odometer is one of the vault's cars.
Ford Mustang GT Mule
The 2005 Mustang GT mule, a V10-powered prototype, is still used by Ford for learnings.
“We couldn't crush this car. A lot of times these kinds of prototypes get crushed, so when you hear we hid cars and moved them around, this is a perfect example. This car literally sat in a warehouse hidden away from eyes, got moved from group to group, and thankfully we kept it.”

The vault is located in a former Amazon fulfillment center between Ann Arbor and Detroit.
