I checked with local Ford dealer today. It WAS supposed to be black & black. There is NO military or Govt link at all that has been recorded. Great story though, he should write childrens books!

It would seem the seller has recently been informed (or finally checked properly) of the true heritage. Fancy stating as fact, the crap in the listing! Some silly b/stard that couldn't bother to investigate would have bought that, thinking it was "Very Rare". I guess it is rare if you consider what the poor thing has suffered, the indignity of a 4cyl diesel in a Ford loxury vehicle.

Looks like he's seen the light about misleading information and what the legal ramifications could be if sold. K Nob!
