Pretty sure @ltcolton is the original owner of JR394 and still owns the car. Per conversing with him recently, JR394 has been a garage queen for the last few years and he has obtained a letter from Ford that confirms JR394 is the last Base R.
Appreciate all of your feedback and comments regarding JR368 which by the way was produced exactly 5 days prior to JR394.

With respect to JR394, I recall having a long conversation with the original owner (PF) of that cool vehicle shortly after he purchased it in the Fall of 2018 from a Ford dealership in Virginia and still remember many of the details of how long that vehicle sat in the showroom, dealership details, shipping details and the original purchase price.

I was also involved with documentation centered around JR394 as being the very last Base R model produced. It is also interesting to note that JR368 and JR394 were both ordered exactly the same coming with in Shadow Black paint, no OTT stripes, no car cover and an MSRP of $65,640.

Maybe just me but I don't recall the name of @ltcolton being used along the way but then again we may be talking about the same individual?

I still communicate with the original owner from time to time about JR394 and the rest of his cool cars and will reach out to him once again.

Yes PF and ltcolton are the same person. Interesting information regarding JR368. I appreciate it. I have had conversations with you as well Harry. Regarding a wingless 2019 350R I ram across at my local dealership. Back in the days when Ford QC was a bit lacking.

Be well,
Jeff

Jeff, really appreciate you clarifying all of the above as I thought that in my older age that maybe I was starting to lose some of my facilities and somewhat faster than I wanted to!

Also appreciate you jogging my memory with respect to a wingless 2019 R model.

If I recall correctly the FRAP was going to ship out a CF rear wing in a wooden crate to the said Ford dealership and have it installed on the R model in question and believe that it could not be sold as is?

If it was not the 2019 R that you are speaking of it would have been another R model as there were 2 units in question around the same time that had the same rear CF wing missing (but they did install the CF wheels and rear seat delete therefore 2 out of 3 ain't bad:wink:) therefore obviously the FRAP Mod Shop had a couple bad days along the way!!

Thanks again for confirming the above and for checking in after many years of not communicating. :clap:

Be well yourself and hopefully talk again soon!

Here is the wingless R I spoke to you about over the phone. Post number 1827. The dealership did in fact correct the issue and I've met the buyer.

Wow, that was almost 5 years ago therefore time slips by so quickly.

You young guns certainly know how to locate some of these old posts and cool comments as that would take me a lifetime to locate and maybe not even ever for that matter.

I had forgotten that the Mod Shop also forgot to add the rear seat delete liner for this unit and after all that it would have been interesting to request a rear seat package from FP for the FPB example as that would make it a very rare example.

Of the 3,647 R models produced I am only aware of just 1 example whereby the FRAP installed rear seats in one of these 2-seat R models and suggest that this FPB vehicle could have been only the 2nd example that was authorized by FP and the FRAP.

In addition to the rear seats installed at FR on this 2016 R model, it is interesting to note the CF front chin spoiler along with the Blue R logos and Blue stitching.

When Ford wants to build a 1 of 1 example, you have to give them credit for going all the way.

I have offered to purchase this vehicle numerous times which is still on the MSO but my good friend is not willing to give it up and don't blame him for that.

That blue stitching is really cool, I’d hang onto that car just for that alone. Looks odd to see rear seats in an R, definitely one of a kind!

Tony, quick note that there were only 2 of us that ordered a Canadian Base R model for the final production year which includes my friend Ray who lives in Ontario.

Ray ended up with JR276 and it came with Oxford White exterior paint along with Black OTT stripes therefore 1 more unit to add to your list.

Tony, just a heads up that the number of Base Models for the 2015 GT350R launch model year may not be correct.

One way or another I will try to confirm in due course.

I've been looking for a copy of the FP 2015 production numbers. Can't find any online.

Came across this Shadow Black 2016 Base R model (GR271) while attending a Ford event near Sydney, Australia.

Could not get a look at the odometer in order to determine the mileage but was told by a fellow Mustang enthusiasthat it has very few miles, is still in completely stock condition therefore has not been converted to right hand drive.

Because GR271 has not been converted to right hand drive the owner has to trailer it to and from various Ford/automotive events in Australia.

Based on the ride height the polyurethane shipping blocks have never been removed from this vehicle.

The window sticker for this particular vehicle is listed at $63,870 which was quite a deal back some 9 years ago!

Earlier this year I stumbled across a VIN that seemed to indicate an additional GT350R example built for the 2015 model year and ever since then I have been attempting to gather additional information on that vehicle which happens to be a GT350R Base model.

While researching the VIN for the above 2015 Base R model, I came across 3 additional 2015 GT350R VIN's all of which seem to indicate that they all came with the optional Electronics Package.

Based on the above I suggest that for the 2015 GT350R launch model year there were a total of 41 GT350R models vehicles built of which 7 examples were Base R models.

Will continue to research and keep you posted.
