Why will they only build 3K 14's?
It's a shorter run because Ford is wanting to launch the newer bodystyle as soon as possible.
Actually they are saying around 3500 to 4000 now. The reason being the entire MY14 is going to be shortened due to changing the plant over for an early MY15 release. MY14 is tentatively scheduled to cease in October. That would make production of MY 14 about 5 months shorter than MY13.
This would explain why one of my clients was allowed to order cars for stock last week

Oh Yeah, I would believe that. Last week it was going to be 2500 units with all the inherent shortage overtones due to an abbreviated MY and now its up to 4000. What a difference a week makes. It is likely reasonable to assume that there will be enough GT500s made as there have been every other year.
What the F*** is your problem. How dense are you? If there are so many available why don't you go get one? Hell if there are an overabundance you should even get it at invoice. Your one of those guys that asks people to help them move and then bitch about how long it taking. Why don't you crawl back to into your cave.
When I inquired with another member on this board he informed me that my exact car as I built it is a 1 of 1 :dancenana:
I guess I'll have to wait for a chart like posted above to truly verify but i feel my source is pretty accurate.
I never insinuated there would be any "shortage" of GT 500's. the only place that I know for a fact there is a shortage of GT500's, is in your driveway.
:lol:
When I originally posted that number. That's what they were saying.
What appears to have happened was that the order rate for 2014 was higher than anticipated- so why not sell more- which is when stock orders opened up.
I knew Something was up the other day when one of my clients could order a car for stock (posted that in 14 GT500 thread).
Like any business- supply and demand will usually determine production. This car is in demand- so they're going to build more to satisfy such demand.

Ya Think? Really?
So we can flush all the crap about allocation cutbacks for unknown reasons, engine shortages, limited production, blah, blah,blah and just go with common sense as in Ford will build as many as they can sell. Yeah that's right, Ford will build as many as they can sell. What a profound revelation. Not to offend anyone and their double knot spies at the factory but it has obviously been that way from day one.
Hallelujah! Common sense is really a wonderfull thing.
We'd like to flush it, but YOU insist on brining it up, over and over and over.
Maybe this time around you'll pick one up? After reading through your posts, you have more friends in the car business than any of us and should be able to just drive one on a dealer plate. :shrug:
Like any business. Things change as things progress. At the time information was given it was accurate and up to date. Which means the information was correct not inaccurate.
Ford made a decision based on demand. But it doesn't change what was originally stated.
