Based on the 8/1 numbers the total count has already moved to: 3896. At the current pace, and assuming production ends in March 2013, the total production would be: 4276. Looking forward to seeing the revised numbers.

It seems if you take out 07 and 08 it was always around 4k
yeap, remember 07 and early 08 economy was still booming, there was a larger market for that type of car hence the ability to capitalize...move to later years and you make less of them, making them more in demand, less supply all the while knowing not as many buyers and Ford doesnt lose money by building too many and saturating the market....simple economics

A friend of mine bought an '08 for 38K and change with invoice and rebate pricing. The sticker on many of the 2013s is $30,000 more. That is a huge difference and substantially decreases the # of capable buyers in a saturated market.
What saturated market?

As in 7th model year in progress. Most of the small number of people interested and capable of purchasing a Mustang in this price range allready have one. The market for this car is extremely small.
Except that the 2008 GT500 and the 2013 GT500 are very different cars.
I've owned both.
The same reason someone trades an 08 Taurus for a 13 Taurus. They want the newest car with the latest toys and options.
While they have the same model destination (GT500) they are very different cars.

Yet there are more buyer's with cars on order and potential buyers than available cars. Hardly a saturated market.
Your argument would be valid if all the cars built from 2007-2013 were exactly the same with no changes, but that is not the case. Your argument only holds up if you meant that everyone that wanted a specific year model already had one, with the exception of the 2013MY.

I've owned an '08 also. Hoping to own a '13 or '14. Driving a stock '08 and then a TVS retrofitted '08 with some suspension tweaks in the same day was shocking. The TVS outfitted 500 was crazy fast. 2 totally different animals. Neither of the '08s had the transmission/clutch issue.

That's true only if you are willing to take what they have to offer rather than what you want.
I don't know about you, but if I am going to spend $65,000+ of my hard earned money on a Mustang, I damn well better get what I want.
True- and unfortunately most of the dealers on EBay are looking for over sticker

I guess I'm not that particular. Dark blue and black are my favorites but the car looks great in any trim I've seen so far.
Good for you, so there is nothing to stop you from going out and buying any one of the cars you are able to find.
Be sure to post pictures of the car when you get it and be sure to post the price you had to pay.

Precisely what I intend to do when prices have calmed down. Paying the full sticker price for a new car is something that I have never done nor do I intend to. I will pay a price that I am comfortable with and will never put myself in a position where I feel that I "have" to pay a certain price. Thanks for your interest. Will be sure to post pics and the price.
Yea and they can sit and rot with them, because no one will pay these prices they are asking, unless a individual has more money than brains. Down to only 8 on Ebay currently.
Alot of Shelby museums across the country!
Agree alot of these cars are sitting , the dealer i ordered my 13 shelby from
has an 08 KR still sitting on the show room .
