GHIG would be a great colour. I wish they offered Competition Orange for one more year. I still don't understand why they didn't offer it on the RWell, I'm still holding out that they added GHIG.
I would probably keep one if I could get one in GHIG.
Not sure why the shock, unless you paid over msrp for yours then be prepared to take it in the butt. Ford does this with every shelby iteration, they create panic with an illusion the car will be super rare, people overpay which creates a shortage and you will be able to buy one in a couple years for $20k less than today. It's been this way since 07 folks. If there is money to be made Ford would be foolish to stop production
There was not an allocation agreement with the 2007 GT500s. Mute point.They said the GT500 would only be for 2007. Sold it for 8 model years.
I actually owned mine for invoice less holdback.... so around $51k, and sold it for $72,500.
Usually when Ford puts out an agreement for a vehicle they stick to it. The 13/14s had a 2 year agreement....sold them for 2 years. The GT350 had a 2 year agreement...they sold it for 2.5..now 3.
Uncharacteristic.

No, but I write my dealership a check for the car, so I "own" it...I just leave it on MSO.You titled yours? I did not think you had to do this as a dealer.
Can you find for me anywhere where Ford stated the duration of the GT500 vehicle run? All I have ever seen is he said/she said and never anything in print from an official press release.
Long time no see, Jeff. I've wondered what you've been up to.
I spent some time today scouring old SVT Press Releases and found no mention of the time frame for the (then) upcoming GT500. What I was reminded of was how wrong all the HP quotes were (either 450 or 475hp), that pre-production cars were shown with 19" wheels (some mentioned they weren't happening and some didn't), rear spoilers with SHELBY lettering across them (unlike production being on the driver side of the decklid), a vented hood that differed from the eventual production version, etc. I also got a chuckle each time I read about all the new and exciting SVT products to come, including the "Ford Sport Trac Adrenalin."
This wasn't really a surprise. The rumor had been out there since around Thanksgiving. People should be able to get their hands on GT350Rs at or very near MSRP now. The regular ones are already selling at MSRP. Should be able to get those below MSRP now.
I should've waited just a little while longer. Water under the bridge now.
I had five 2016s and five 2017s. Just sold my last 2017 today.I wonder how many either secretly or outright will agree with me, but I don't like "limited availability". When I bought my 94 Cobra, they had 4 or 5 on the lot, in late 95, could have either of them a few K off (a lot in 1995).
I actually had a choice of colors I could look at side by side in person. It was awesome. Still had decent resale when I traded it in for a 96 Cobra.
Drove by the local Dodge dealer, 5 Hellcats lined up, in stock, ready to go.
If I could go into my local Ford dealer and choose between 5 GT350s, there'd probably be one in my garage right now.
Yeah, it wasn't in the press releases. It was in small print at the bottom of a page on their website. I spent way too much time there in '05/'06.....
I closed my architecture firm, sold the race car, learned Hebrew and Greek, and moved to St. Louis. I'm in my 2nd year of M. DIV. program at Concordia Seminary.....still have the Boss LS, though.
