Appreciate the idea.
But I like my pension

i didn't mean for the car to be stolen, i just mean don't take the official policy as the final answer without asking all the shady management types above you if they couldn't revise the policy...
Forget the fancy Mustang! I want this one,
That's pretty weird looking. T-bird derivative?
It's unlikely you'd get it, but it can't hurt to ask what they plan to do with the car since Ford has sold off concept cars at least twice before. In 2002 they auctioned 51 concept cars, including a Mustang Mach III and the non-running Indigo (which was later destroyed in an accident according to Wikipedia). Then in 2011 the GR-1 concept (non-running) was sold at Pebble Beach Concours for $75,000. I assume most of the cars auctioned in 2002 were non-running, though the Cougar S concept (claimed to be AWD, 3L V6) actually ran but was really just a body kit on a regular 1999 2.5L V6 Cougar. Regardless of whether or not it ran, I really, really doubt it could be registered.

The whole point of this car is the engine, and without the exemption sticker, it's pretty useless.

Yeah, I realize that, my post was not meant to be terribly serious, more along the lines of encouraging your kid to use a metal detector at the beach because they just might stumble onto buried treasure. Sure, it's ridiculously unlikely, but what's the harm in asking especially since Ford has, in very rare circumstances, made some concept cars available to the public? The engine from the concept car could then make it's way into a car that doesn't require emissions certification. Again, it's ridiculously unlikely, but this is the internet, where anything can happen!
