Grabber Lime is one of two new feature colors available across the Mustang lineup for 2020; Twister Orange is the other. In addition, new Iconic Silver and Red Hot Metallic will freshen up the new Mustang palette, including for Shelby GT350 and Shelby GT500 models.

So, there WILL be a 2020 350 run and the new colors are going to be Grabber Lime, Silver and Red Hot Metallic.

Its getting more and more to look like what was to be a limited edition is not true. Every year they reproduce this car more value deteriorates.

My prediction will be that the 2019 is a very limited production run as they switch over the factory to the GT500 set up. The 2019 GT350 is in production now through May then it will stop. The build Lin e will be changed over to accommodate the 2020 350 and 500. The factory is running qualification runs now as we have seen recent pictures of the tooling cars being built. Late summer they will officially begin making the 2020 GT500 and I think they will also begin the manufacturing run for the 2020 GT350 but with the GT500 engine block, but not turbo charged. That will make the 2019 the last year with the voodoo engine. I believe that is why they made many of the upgrades they did to the 19 and made the GT350 and the GT350R so much alike for the 19 production year. It was a set up for 2020. 2019 may also b e the last year for the R as they will have the 500 to up sell. The 500 will come in two different configurations. A base model similar in principle to the GT350R and a more civilized version with the whistles and bells.
Just my two cents based on the cards that have turned over so far.

They'll keep making them, as long as people keep buying it. No such thing as limited anything, any more.

What is with ford and all the blue? I get “ford blue” but come on!
Why not silver or green?
I’d love to see a silver GT350R

It’s been this way since 2017. That’s when it was ruined.

Same saga with the S197 GT500s, fairly predictable.....

Yeah, silver would look great...with blue stripes.

I doubt they'd stop making the 350, and 350R. The 500 is not in competing with the 350. Two different cars with different focus. And both are also priced differently. 500 is just gonna be another tier in the Mustang catalogue.

It always seems like R owners/enthusiasts want the production to stop on the R. I believe will see the 350 and 350R continue to be made every year along with the 500 until the new body style is introduced.

Wrong.

If you research the dealer orders you will see that the lowest VIN is 5549000 and that series continues to about 5551000 for GT350 and then approximately 5551000-5551725 for GT350R. There are a couple GT350 with higher VIN on dealer orders if you search Ford website. If production stops in May this means only about 2700 produced with about 600-700 Being GT350R. I would say that is Limited Production. Since My R is being produced in May I am hoping that is the case, however it is simply an uneducated guess at this time.
