Default Contradicting cars for Sale?

Was just looking on CARPOINT at the FPV's and there is a QLD dealer selling build No1 FG GT($100,000 by the way), and a dealer in NSW selling what is meant to be the first FG GT of production line to go out to dealers.The ad states Fords keeps the the First 3 of the production line, So which is it ??

Sorry don't know how to get the links the the cars on the thread.

FPV build numbers are not usually in order, build number 1 doesn't mean it was first off the line.

Then what's the point then? if they are just going to stick what is almost random numbers on the car, and then call them build numbers, now if they are the actual numbers I am all for that, but this said, I may very well be missing certain aspects of this.

You can order a "build" number when you order your car. If your birthday is 2/3/66 for example, you can order build number #2366.

So just because you go and look at a car for sale and it has build number 1 (would actually read 0001), does not mean it was the first one built as mentioned above.
