That's what I thought, but he wrote "every dealer" so thought maybe they were changing things up...too bad they don't.
Ah, well with about 3,100 Ford Dealers in the US, even at 5% that leaves 2,945 Dealers with at least one GT500.
I know one of my local dealers routinely gets 4 to 6 cars per year, so that makes for some pretty decent production numbers then.
They were able to crank out a bunch of GT350's. Around ~6k a year. I assume it will be similar for the GT500.
It sounds like the S650 may be coming out in 2022 MY.
I am a little concerned about parts availability in the future. If this car and transmission is only a 2 year run, how responsive are the manufacturers going to be 5 years after the last car leaves the line.
How many 2007-2014 GT500 specific parts are still available today and how many are no longer available?

I doubt the trans is only a 2 year run, and I'm sure the aftermarket will provide all the parts you need for many years to come.
I wouldn't worry about it. You'll have no trouble finding parts either through Ford or the aftermarket.
Problem is that dealers mark them up so much they don't sell as many, so it creates a false shortage which keeps the ADM up...and production down.
This. If they are selling GT500's, they will keep making them. See the GT350. A lot of people thought the GT350 would be limited, and Ford is still making them.
I didn't think of that. Good point.
Perhaps I don't understand the process of automotive part printing well enough, however from what I understand this will ensure car owners that replacement parts will be available indefinitely.

If that's the case, Ford would still be producing Boss 429s. lol
15,000 is a lot of cars. Its more than the 13/14 GT500
