I don't have the answer but I would figure around 500. Only SVT dealers are authorized to sell the GT500 in Canada. If I remember correctly, there are 27 or so SVT dealers in Canada. They were initially supposed to get 15 cars each. I read here that theirallocation was ultimately increased to 19, which would mean 513 cars. Even rounding up the numbers to 30 dealers x 20 cars, it's still only 600 cars. 900 would mean over 30 cars per SVT dealer, which seems a bit high IMHO. That being said, I would not be surprised that the total number of cars purhcased in Canada, including imported US cars would approach 900.

KingCobra Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 Excluding american cars imported into Canada, I believe there are just over 500 Canadian 2007 Shelby GT500's produced. KingCobra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadianVenom Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 I was in Edmonton in the middle of June and they had 5 sitting on the floor. 3 coupes and 2 verts. Wanted 90k for the coupes and 100k for the verts. I know which dealer you were at then. The other dealer was selling for 70k insteat of 100k, and did a lottery to decide which customers got to buy the cars. I think they got 13 total plus 2 American imports.
