I wouldn't let a paint and stripe option sway you. They're still two distinctly different models of the same car. If you wanted a GT500 I'd get one as a GT350, while great, won't tick the same boxes for performance that the GT500 does.
The thing is, i was kinda hoping Ford would of done something special for 137 2015 GT350s that were created....Since they are doing this for a 2020 GT350 it sparks my interest.

I guess you can say I am a sucker for special editions that tie back to Historical stuff, like the Gulf GT's, the 1964 2015 50th Anniversary Mustang, etc...

Another thing I'm pissed about is how Ford distanced themselves from the movie Ford vs. Ferrari because they didn't like the way HF II, Leo Beebe, and Ford Motor Company in general was portrayed in the film, but the very first sentence in this press release is clearly trying to cash in on the movie's production of newfound (and well-deserved) fame for Ken Miles.

I agree. I was surprised this wasn't an option for the 50th anniversary GT350 cars as well. It's resulted in situations like this where Jay Leno bought the 50 year set but the colors don't match when Ford was 100% capable of doing it as they were already doing Wimbledon white on the 2015 50th Anniversary cars. Now Jay would have to get rid of the 50th anniversary and get the less impressive 55th anniversary. That being said, if I was him I totally would.

Jay would likely have all three!

Keep in mind, the 2020 also gets a lot of suspension upgrades, including some parts from the new GT500 as well as a nice Electronics Package that CAN make it more of a daily driver.

Agreed that the 2020 is a technically superior car to the 2015 in every way, but the 55th anniversary isn't as historically cool as the 50th anniversary and I think Ford missed the ball on this opportunity.

With Jay Leno’s money he probably wouldn’t get rid of his 50th anniversary he would just add the 55th anniversary to his collection and have both. Jay did comment that he took out the Recaro seats and replaced them with the standard Mustang seats but still has the Recaro’s to put back in if he sold it. Then said he would never sell it!

I don't think there are any limitations on total volume. This isn't a 1 of 150 option or anything like that and I don't think they're uniquely serialized because of it. If they went that far you'd really be looking at some markup of the package itself and the associated ADM's at the dealerships.

from Ford:

For 2020, Ford is producing a limited run of Heritage Edition fastbacks finished in classic Wimbledon White with Guardsman Blue side and over-the-top race stripes in a nod to the 1965 GT350 competition model developed by Carroll Shelby. The United States has sported blue and white as its assigned international racing colors since the 1950s. Additional Heritage Edition cues include front and rear exterior badges finished in Guardsman Blue and a unique dash badge inside. GT350R models will feature all-black seats with red accent stitching.

so unique dash may be numbered and will be a lower volume.

I haven't seen any limitations to the "limited" nature of it though. I wonder if the limitation is the number of Guardsman Blue badges that are ordered or something trivial and not expressly stated.

Any idea when this will be available for order, ford.com/ford.ca does not list this as of yet?
