kerjner Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Hey guys, No Shelby pricing is out as of today Feb. 22nd. I am a huge supplier of Shelby's. I can factory order you a Shelby OR I can get your specific car from Ford. Once pricing is out let me know what you want for a car and i will quote you a price. I can usually do MSRP. That allows me to make a few bucks and still get you your dream Shelby. Have a good one guys! Regards, ShelbyGuy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crushinator Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 My dealer just called and said the owner has the pricing. He has to wait til he comes back and he's gonna build the car the way I want it and give me pricing for each package. I'm really hoping he's right and they actually do have it. I'll keep you all posted... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASO544 Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Well.....I got info today that I can only describe as super reliable that the base MSRP is 59k. I was shocked to say the least. Take it for what its worth....its reliable enough I pulled my 2011 off the market and will wait for a great used price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svtkeith Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 I was told today by my local SVT dealer the 013's would be in the mid $60,000 area in Canada. I can tell you if the GT500 is $59,000 in the US it's going to be at least $69,000 in Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinWitten Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Car & Driver also reported base price of $59,000 MSRP. That is an 10K or 11K bump. Very disappointing FORD! I think alot of people, myself included, will not be trading up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisSD Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 They won't have any problems selling them. $59k will with the PP I bet, not "base". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerS Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Thanks for the welcome-you're right...that's about as long as you can drive in the lower 48: Washington to Florida! Who is the top Shelby seller in the US, any idea? I assume they'd have the most far pricing. I was hoping to stay within a couple thousand miles if I'm gonna do the "fly to buy" route. Thanks again! Lots of cars come to Shelby American through Gaudin Ford in Las Vegas. Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedyman Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 There is absolutely no way they raise the base price of this car by ten thousand dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svtkeith Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 There is absolutely no way they raise the base price of this car by ten thousand dollars. I wouldn't be so sure of that...They are really pushing this car as the greatest Shelby ever and yes they have made alot of improvements $10,000 dollars worth!!..Maybe not but people will buy into that...Look what they done when the 07 came out some dealers were selling them with a $10,000 plus ADM and they were selling at that price if Ford feels they can sell they will do just that I'm sure.

It was a different economy in 2007 and look at all those guys who paid the ADMs only to have a car that doesn't hold its value different than anything else. You can pickup 07-09's now dirt cheap.

Whammer Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 I was told today by my local SVT dealer the 013's would be in the mid $60,000 area in Canada. I can tell you if the GT500 is $59,000 in the US it's going to be at least $69,000 in Canada. I don't understand his reasoning? The '12 GT500's were already mid 60's with a couple of options. At best this car will be 70k in Canada, at least that's my guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can pickup 07-09's now dirt cheap. It's a different economy but those who have the kind of coin to buy these cars aren't truly effected by the economy. They've got the money and the dealers know they do and nearly everyone of them is going to try for an ADM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obiefox Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 This confirms the 2014 Model Year GT500 ! I have read these documents each year and I don't remember them addressing multiple model years like this. My read on this is that the current car will be sold as a 13 and into 14 as they prepare to bring out the new car. I doubt we see a full year 14 run of cars.

Whammer Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 There is absolutely no way they raise the base price of this car by ten thousand dollars. They have to make it a significant price bump over the '12 for several reasons. First is all the improvments, that doesn't come cheap. But perhaps more importantly is- if the price was close to a '12 model then who in their right mind would buy any of the remaining '12's? I know those looking to buy a '13 are hoping that MSRP is pretty close to the '12 but I just see that happening. Since I'm not looking to buy one perhaps I can be a little more objective then someone looking to buy one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may come as a surprise but Ford knows quite a bit more on the subject of pricing than the enthusiasts of their performance products. Model years are constantly upgraded, sometimes profoundly in one year with little to no price increase. Forget about the 12s, they are dead in the water, the manufacturer knows this and will dump them out with whatever level of rebates are needed. American's disposable income has evaporated to a great degree for a multitude of reasons. 70 thousand dollar toys are virtually DOA in the market place and Ford is well aware of this issue. There will be no huge price increase for '13. The hard core enthusiast or current owners perspective on these pricing or market value are almost always wrong.

YZD263 Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 A 100hp increase over the 2012 plus other improvements should normally justify a price increas that is more than just inflation based. That being said, and looking only at canadian prices, a Camaro ZL1 starts at $60090. The current GT500 is around the same price. I don't think that Ford can justify a $10K difference between the two cars. The additional horsepower may justify a slightly higher price, but not $10K. Unless Ford prefers to limit production volume through higher pricing and appeal to Shelby fanatics only, Ford has to take the Camaro's pricing into the equation, People that are not brand loyalists will cross shop the GT500 and ZL1 and a $10K difference may be a dealbreaker for them.

I don't either...Like I posted before a 2012 SVTPP GT500 is $64,000 so yeah I can't see the 013 beeing in the mid $60,000 area at all...I said all along this car was going to be in the $70,000 dollar range in Canada and I don't think i'm to far off with that price.

The GT500 will have a 2014 model year and from what I have been told...it is the same as the 2013. I was told by my SVT Sales Rep that as soon as Carroll Shelby dies, production of the GT500 will CEASE. I asked if it would cease immideatly (mid year) or if it would cease for the following MY. They couldn't give me a answer to that question but I *suspect* it will be the following year. Otherwise, if Shelby were to leave us today, they wouldn't be able to produce the already announced 2013 models. I asked if it was just a "respect" type of deal or a licensing type of deal and same thing, no idea. I suspect a little of both because from what I know, Shelby holds the licensiing rights to the GT500 moniker (but not the Cobra). So if what I was told is accurate, there may or may not be a 2014 GT500 in *any* form, let alone the new body style that is being talked about. I bantered with them about that and they had the same suspicion I have, that a GT500 may not be available but a "Cobra" (such as the old Cobra R) COULD be.

Only time will tell, Phill This really surprises me. I would have though that Ford would have made a licencing agreement that addresses this particular issue. After all, Mr Shelby was already in his '80s when the GT500 was reintroduced. Marketing plans are generally not something that you would want to change on a very short notice, especially considering the lifecycle of products in the automotive industry. I could see Ford reverting back to the Cobra name for the next gen car, but for a 2014 model that is identical to the 2013, a change of name would not really make sense.

Ford will sell the 2013 as is, named the GT500, for the entire 2013 model year regardless of the life status of Mr. Shelby. Take that to the bank. Where do people come up with this crap?

Hey, believe whatever you want but there is no way this car is going to be close to the price of the '12. Does Ford have to price the car close to the ZL1? I'm not sure they do. Base price will probably be close but there is the Trac Pack and Performance Pack, those two options are going to push the price tag well north of the ZL1. 65k US is going to be my guess for this car.
