Boss9 Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 Just wondering if anyone had any educated guess on how many '13's will be made........under 5000? Or is it going to be more like the '07 where it was if memory serves me about 11,000? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farmboy90 Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 Around 4,000 give or take 200. Right now they are tracking to about 4,100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boss9 Posted September 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 Thanks guys and Farmboy for the figures. I bought a 2007 and loved the car,but I was little disappointed how many ended up being made....not very exculsive. I picked up a 2013 very recently and was curious on how many would be produced.........and by the way WOW what a car the '13 is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boss9 Posted September 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 Thanks again Farmboy for those precise figures........and both you and svtkeith on the kudos for my car, thanks guys.These 2013's are truly impressive Revenge- you missed my point by confusing performance with production numbers.......I understand there will be a 2014 and beyond and who knows most likely increased performance but that won't affect the number of '13's being made. The 13's will be what they are- the last GT 500 that Carroll Shelby was involved with I personally don't think the '14's will be that different than the '13's and if the 2015 is awesome and appeals to me I'll get one. I've been a fan of high performance Mustangs forever and have owned lots of them and still do....... they are all cool in their own right, each one with its own individual level of performance. LOL if 662hp ain't enough for me I'm sure there is a few simple mod's that could be made Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2007tungstenGT500 Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 the 14's are a continuation, just glossy stripes instead of matt. 2007 was the first GT500 Caroll was involved with during the muscle car era sequel. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devious_stang Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 Get ready to be dissapointed again because there will be a 2014 and beyond Shelby with ever increasing performance. Thanx for the clairvoyant incite! The 2014 will be the same as the 2013. Ford's deal with shelby and use of the name ends in 2016. 2015 is a new platform for the mustang and history shows they dont roll out specialty models until a year or two after. ADM's is the reason you have these sitting on lots now, and Im not concerned about collectibility and future value Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL if 662hp ain't enough for me I'm sure there is a few simple mod's that could be made So what if its the last GT500 Shelby was involved with? In the 80s some people over paid for the last Ferrari's Enzo was involved with. Now where are those cars compared to the latest and greatest Ferraris? My point is no one is going to distinction between the 2013 and 2014 GT500 unless the 2014 is tweaked to become a noticeably better car. When the next generation GT500s roll out they will be even more amazing than the 2013.Even if they make only 4k 2013 models and 4k 2014 models that is still 8k GT500s. No way near low enough production numbers for anyone to even think about collectability. The people who own the 2013 will be in the same boat as the 07-09 owners eventually where the latest generation of GT500s relegates their cars to second best or worst.

Snoopy49 Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Has anyone figured out the daily average rate of production for these cars? According to Farmboy90, 2238 have been produced as of Sept 08, 2012. How many production days did it take to produce that quantity? Remember to factor in all holidays and other non production days.

Snoopy49 Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 79 production days as of 9/8/2012. Thanks, so the daily average was 28.33 GT 500's a day. If they maintain that average, all we need is the number of productions days left and we should be able to get a fairly accurate total production number. Assuming no major parts shortages or labor problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy49 Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Just found out today that the Flat Rock plant will be closed for 3 weeks in November for retooling. Add this to the normal 2 weeks vacation time in December, and it doesn't look good for the GT500 production numbers. From the article below. Much of the retooling will be done during a three-week shutdown in November. As it gears up for the future, Ford to add 1,200 workers in Flat Rock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcInUtah Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Man, I am glad I got a ETA of 16 October for mine. I don't think it really matters that the Flat Rock plant is closing in November as far as production numbers for the 2013. From everything I read, they stop making the 2013s in November anyways.

Snoopy49 Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 I read somewhere that the end of production was sometime in January. I heard that the order banks closed in November. Maybe someone with more accurate information will chime in and clear up any misconceptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
