The Ford GT made headlines two years ago, not only because of its surprise unveiling, but also because you had to go through Ford’s selective application process to even be allowed to buy one.

To the surprise of no one, Detroit City Council on Tuesday signed off on a $104 million tax break for Ford to rebuild the Michigan Central Station near downtown Detroit.

It most recently went on the block, again, and sold for around $1.3 million—a decent chunk less than it fetched last time.
