2019 Ford Mustang Need For Green, 1 year only?

[JimsFury]

I was told the 2019 Need for Green is a 2019, 1 year only color. Is this true? And does it come in Ecoboost, GT and Shelby models? I am also curious as to how many will be built. Any info is appreciated.

It was 2019 only and for the production numbers, you'll probably have to wait for the Marti reports to become available for 2019.

I don't think it was available on the GT350 though.

 

[O.L.]

Yep, only Ecoboost and GT.

Yep, only Ecoboost and GT.

Or on a Steeda Q850.

Q: How many Need for Green Mustangs were produced?

A: Wait a couple of years and someone might tell you.

Need for green was only made for MY 2019.

Ford VIN's for 2019 mustangs using http://mustangattitude.com/mustang/2019vinmatrix.shtml as a basis:

The first VIN for a 2019 mustang is probably:

1FA6P8CF7K5100001

1FA______________ means Ford Motor Company USA - Ford - passenger car

___6_____________ safety - means seat belts and front/side airbags.

____P8C__________ means the model was a Fastback GT

_______F_________ means the engine was 5.0L V8

________7________ is a check digit so computers can check the validity of the VIN overall. Possible to be 0-9 or X. Back to this later.

_________K_______ means model year 2019

__________5______ assembler - means it was built at Flat Rock, Michigan

___________100001 is the sequential number for Ford Division Vehicles, one per car, by assembly plant, 100001 through 599999.

At first glance is looks like the combinations for a individual VIN sequential number would be 1x2x6x4x11x1 (mfg x safety x model x engine x checkdigit x year x assembler) or 528.

It turns out a sequential number (last six digits) in a Mustang VIN has only six combinations because of the engine/model.

Safety is tied to the model/body. All fastbacks, Bullitts and GT350's are '6' and all convertibles are 'T'.

Engine for Ecoboost is 'H' GT is 'F' Bullitt is '0' and GT350 is 'Z'.

2019 mustangs were built at Flat Rock. Lincoln Continentals are also built there but that is an aside.

Check digit is calculated on the rest of the VIN - these guys built an Excel function to calulate it. https://www.mrexcel.com/board/threads/vin-check-digit.503506/

This means that for the mustang with sequential number 100001 there are only five combinations:


GT 1FA6P8CF7K5100001
Ecoboost 1FA6P8TH5K5100001
GT Convertible 1FATP8FF9K5100001
Ecoboost convertible 1FATP8UH3K5100001
Bullitt 1FA6P8K00K5100001
GT350 1FA6P8JZ0K5100001

It turns out the first one is the one that shows in Ford Etis 1FA6P8CF7K5100001
https://www.etis.ford.com/vehicleSelection.do
"Mustang, MOD 5.0L-4V DOHC SEFI NA, Velocity Blue"

Also, certain blocks of sequential numbers are model specific - GT350's start with 551100 I believe so the last VIN there 1FA6P8JZ0K5100001 isn't possible. Bullitt mustangs start with 500001.

In the end, there are four VIN possibilities for each sequential number that could possibly be a Need For Green - no GT350, no Bullitt.
Trying the calculations again with 100002 yields:

GT 1FA6P8CF9K5100002
Ecoboost 1FA6P8TH7K5100002
GT Convertible 1FATP8FF0K5100002
Ecoboost convertible 1FATP8UH5K5100002

1FATP8FF0K5100002 is 'Mustang, MOD 5.0L-4V DOHC SEFI NA, Ruby Red (Metallic)' and is a convertible.

Worldwide there were just over 102000 mustangs sold in 2019. That doesn't mean there were the same number produced. So, you would probably need a little under half a million web queries to get all the info but it might only take half of that.

In the end, there are four VIN possibilities for each sequential number that could possibly be a Need For Green. Someone who is better with scripting could probably automate this and get paint color percentages.

If you expand the Ford Etis PTI information for can see some other details - my VIN shows details for wheels/tires and matches the PP1 I would expect:

5. AXLES, WHEELS, TYRES AND SUSPENSION
Code Description
D2GBT 19X9 Fr/19X9.5 Rr-Alum Prm Pntd
D3DBC Frt-255/40 Rr-275/40R19 Y-Sum

So you might be able to figure out how any PP1 and PP2 cars were built as well.

Thoughts?

My wife says I have that effect on people. Sorry.

Sorry for the old thread resurrection, but there is also a Need for Green super snake out there:
https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2019-ford-shelby-super-snake/

Otherwise to my understanding there were no serialized Roush need for greens, doubt there were any Saleens though that's an assumption.

And based on word of mouth from another Need for Green owner I met, around 800 were painted. Majority of which are EcoBoosts.

Like mentioned above, probably gotta wait on the Marti Report for 2019.

I get a lot of compliments on this car, I'll admit if you take care of the paint it just looks sooo good all the time, and I didn't know what to think about the green in the beginning. Now that the car is all green and black, it gets looks. Yesterday was riding in front of Sams and a guy stopped pushing the buggy to grab his phone. I've had people slow down on 4 lanes next to me and tell me to goose it. Hilarious.

There's at least one Need For Green Saleen

I also get compliments a lot, and a lot of questions about who I had repaint my car, or who wrapped it, etc. I can proudly say nope. Ford Color! I have PPF on my entire front clip, and then 10" along the rockers out past the rear wheels. Carpro Ceramic on top of everything. I wish I had done the entire car in PPF though. It just wasn't in the budget at the time. At least it's a flat color, so chips should be easier to repair.

I love this color. I'm sad they didn't put it on the Mach 1, as I would have been drawn to upgrade. With the Mach1 accent striping and such I think it'd look so badass.

There's at least one Need For Green Saleen

This is badass!
Wish I had a way to meet up with ya, but, uh, England and all...
That's a one up on Roush then, the guy I met a bit ago has a non serialized Roush Need for Green. It's a very sharp car!! He's on Instagram:

 

[gadgtfreek]

I too have gotten both "is that a wrap" and "who repainted it".

Car gets a REDICULOUS amount of comments. Doesn't hurt that ZL1's and Redeye's struggle to keep up.
