gabed1 Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 I called SVT and they said the reason why they have not officially released the production numbers is a disagreement around Ford and Shelby around the design of the certificates. Officially they now do not have a set time frame to deliver us these numbers. Looks like it is tied up with the lawyers! I think at the very least they should announce how many coupes and Verts were produced! Voice your opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voice your opinion I agree that what the certificate looks like should have no bearing on the production numbers being disclosed. Seems a bit strange to me.

Grabber Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 This does not surprize me at all. Maybe we will end up with a very nice looking certificate. This will give us something to talk about in the slow winter months! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will give us something to talk about in the slow winter months! Can you track the progress of this? I was told the same thing as far as resolving a legal issue with Shelby. They didn't say what it was, but said they just got everything worked out and it should be a couple of weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLB8SNK Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 So these are 07's, so do you have to wait until the end of model year to get one? Never seeing one, I do not know. If it shows the data like number of and out of's then I would assume so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pig Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 Well I didn't get a complete breakdown of verts, but I got the red #s. Mine is #330 of 809 torch red verts #982 of 2,694 total verts Build Date of 11/15/06 He didn't have my # out of the total 10,844 GT500s built, just the vert breakdown. Torch Red being 30% of all verts produced, probably followed closely by Black, I would think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svtbird91 Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 The total #'s were very close to what BlackShelby posted back on July 19th except his #'s included all the preproduction cars too. Here are the numbers I got these numbers the first day they had them a couple weeks back (no they are not released yet but these will be the official numbers when released(time will tell)Shelby Coupe was 8,162 Shelby Convertible was 2,702 total=10,864 I ask my friend who works at ford, why the confilcts in numbers he gave me and the other ones listed in this post Numbers I listed he said includes every gt500 produced for 07 including ones that where built for over seas , test cars , and ones not sold to the public, etc The svt numbers that are listed previous in post are usa/production/sold to public numbers only which is likely the ones that will be release to us(the lower numbers listed in previous post) This site is still on the cutting edge of all the latest news on these cars......way ahead of the rest !!!
