The only published (but incorrect) number I saw around that time was 6500, which is why I bought one at MSRP early on. Later as the run went on, there were deep discounts for the '04s as it got closer to the '05s being released.Hmm, I'll have to dig around on that, I thought it was always "about 5k (units)" that was the goal. Like I said earlier, the Mach was a parts bin car, so it was probably easier to up production.
Just like those special editions, the GT350s have a business case and must be profitable. What Ford was able to achieve for each one over the years reflects where they could put their money. Also, like the Mach 1, one of the limitations will be the engine. The Mach 1 engines were built on a lower volume line (partially automated) at the Romeo plant, and the GT350 ones are built on the niche line (hand assembly) at same place.
