Curious: How many Bosses have you seen?

[TMSBOSS]

This very early production (1 of 1) 2012 YB with White Roof and Stripes left Ontario a little while back and now resides in South Carolina.

What a great color combination with the white roof and white stripes!

The first Yellow with white Boss and now the first Boss Snowbird. ;D

This is the car. There was a mistake in the Canadian order guide and he was able to place this order and have it made. I hope he made some money on the car.

 

[boss man]

Thats what commands big Money is factory mistakes. and can prove it!! Car has to be a really early build. Any idea what #??

 

[VoodooBoss]

I don't know what the number is buy yes it was an early build.

Seen it before, very rare 1 of 1, and he didn't have to pay six figures like those other 1 of 1s

Actually the mistake was made by a local Ford dealership in Burlington as they had originally ordered a 2012 Kona Blue Boss car that as we all know only came with White stripes and roof. At the last minute the dealership heard about the optional Yellow Blaze cars and changed their order from Kona Blue to Yellow Blaze Boss but forgot to change the roof and stripe package on the order form and somehow the order got through the Ford order system.

My understanding is that when the Yellow Blaze cars were being painted on a given day in early 2011 this car order came through and the assembly line in Flat Rock actually had to be stopped until such time that someone at Ford would make a decison as to either build the car or not with White roof and White stripes and of course as we all know the car was given the go ahead to be built.

Saw a black with red 2012 LS today on Rt 70 going east in Ohio, just before the 70/79 interchange around 5:00 pm.
First LS I have actually seen on the road. Did not get to see the plates.

Were probably splitting hairs here but that's not how I remember it and that was originally a Canadian car. This is going back to when the original order banks opened and there was an option for white stripes on the YB on the Canadian order system and so it was ordered. Maybe the dealer wanted a KB car but the option was available in the system. There's no way to order it unless it's available in the system and we all know now the system was wrong but it got made anyway. News came out about this car shortly after it hit the hands of the original owner. Note the date on the photo.

Either way, it's very cool that this still happened, just like the old days when you could special order a car. Unfortunately nowadays, all cars come with set pkgs and options, so no rare or special....miss those days

My explanation is based on numerous personal meetings and comments from the person at the dealership who ordered this car at the Burlington Ford store. This person has been with this same dealership for almost 40 years and certainly knows the Ford system after all these years.

I have known the original purchaser for quite some time as he lives very close to my son in Burlington and have had the pleasure to visit with him and his wife each time I am in Burlington. He actually was going to refuse the car because he did not like the white roof and stripes when the car arrived but because of the mistake on the order form the dealership decided not the charge him for the optional paint color and of course the rest is history.

If there was an option for a white roof and stripes on a YB car I am surprised that other orders were not completed as it is a great color combination and why did Ford change their minds on this great color combination?

iIf it was a Canadian car then there would be no owners kit...Correct. I wonder what the certificate would say being the only YB with white stripes.
Veru interesting story.

Then what was originally posted was wrong or I am. Was this originally a Canadian car or not?

 

[raptor]

The Boss registry shows only 1 built YB/W, and only in Canada

Yes, you are correct as this car sold new at a Ford dealership in Burlington, Ontario and it came with a Boss Owners kit.

Based on your understanding of the white roof and stripes being available on this car in Canada any idea why Ford changed their minds with respect to deleting this color option?

???

 

[VoodooBoss]

My understanding was it was a mistake all along and should never have been offered. But it sounds like my info is incorrect. Chris will have more insight on this if he sees this thread.
