Ive seen several people say that their car is #1 of so many. I was wondering how people find this information. I would like to research my gt and see how mahy were made w/ my trim package. Thanks for the help.

teh internet. Your car is not rare. Wiki should have production numbers by year, with colours. Or another mustang site.
if its just a GT not that rare.... with the SVTs you get a build # and how many were made!
i had a mach 1 that was 1 OUT OF 842(or something like that)
i have a SVT lighting now that is #2057 of 3781 built in 2004

+1000, your car is not rare. It is one of one by ownership though, if thats any consolation to you!!!
most that say #1 of XXX don't mean it was the first to be made.,., only that it is one of few made
Some GT's are rare.
Ford GT?
Mine was like 896 of 897
woot
woot
Mine is one of 4,979 made in Bright Atlantic Blue and one of 6027 total...It's kinda rare, considering there were 39,791 black Mustangs in '00.
To the OP, http://yellowmustangregistry.com/ProductionMain.htm has a breakdown by color. Rule of thumb is about 30% of any color were GT's.

Now THERE is a very very rare car. There was only ONE numbered 896.
LOL, yeah just because a car is one of however many in a certain color, unless its about 10, its not worth it to even research it.
"My car is 1 of 1 Blue GT with grey interior, manual trans and the big headrests, built in Dearborn on a Tuesday in which the date was a prime number"
I really hate people who sell their Cobras for more money because they say it's rare.
I believe his is an 02 Electric Green. Most that color were V6 cars. Plus they only made 636 that color in 02.
Depends on how far you want to take it..
By color, year or options?
For instance... I have a 1981 Mustang T-Top Notchback.
Its Light Pewter Metallic. If you were just basing it on this, it may be 1 of 20,000
It has Red Interior. If you add this into the equation... it might be 1 of 8000
It has an inline 6 with an automatic transmission. When you factor this in it maybe 1 of 2,000.
It has T-Tops, No A/C, Manual Windows/Locks, High Back Bucket Seats, Ect. Now it maybe 1 of 5.

I wasnt researching for the value factor. I was researching b/c Ive never seen another one w/ the same trim as mine and was just curious. Its a gt and know its not rare. Maybe I shouldve of used unique. After some searching, I did find out some stuff.
My car is a 2001 Electric Green gt w/ tan interior. It also rolled off the assembly line in the 2002 trim. In 2001 they only made 2,793. Thats 1.8% of the total mustangs made that year.
So say what you want. I was curious and now foind out why I have yet to seen another electric green w/ tan interior w/ the 2002 trim.

there ya go
You got the point well. Rare and unique are not equal. uniqueness is pretty easy to prove one way or the other. what people make of rarity in regards to mustangs is, for the mot part, full of stupid. Here is a write up on the "uniqueness" of the 04 mystichrome which some call "rare" and others think is way to common when viewed behind the stupid glasses.

as you can see how "rare" something is pretty dependent on the glasses one wears.

What most people are missing is that rare and desireable are completely different things. Sure, his car is rare, so are ours (the SS is one of 375), but desireability isn't expressly implied. The only other car we seriously considered buying just based on rarity was a Mystic Teal '99 SS Convertible - it was a 1 of 1 car, and I love that color. Rare? Certainly. Desireable? Guess not, it sold for around 12k.
