The 2016 Shelby GT350 and GT350R Mustang is nearing the first delivery to actual owners but as to be expected with any popular limited production vehicle, finding a dealer with allocation can be a challenge and mystery.
If you are feeling lost as to when and where to find a GT350, we are here to help. The 2016 Shelby GT350 and GT350R Allocation Plan sent to Ford dealerships and shared by M6G member FPCV8YO, outlines the allocation strategy and methodology for both the GT350 and R versions.
It notes that GT350 production will coincide with the OKTB (OK To Buy) of the base 2016 Mustang which as we know has already begun. Production will run the full 2016 model year with the exception of the R model which will not be built during the winter months, November through February.
As we have known, the literature confirms that dealer allocations will be based on share of national Mustang sales as well as lottery (for the GT350R).
