Terrific information with myself and many others certainly appreciating your efforts!

They do not, but they seem to be within a few hundred (with the VINs currently being higher than the chassis numbers). My VIN is 2216 and was finished last tuesday, I am guessing my chassis number will be around 2000 or so.

I ended up being pretty close. Built 1/12, chassis #2022 :cheers:

Mine is the very last one in that document.

I heard total run for 3 years gt350 would be approx. 5000 gt350 & 500 or so gt350R. Remember chassis number is total not same number for standard and then R. I heard those number 3-4 times from ford sources. 2017 you will see gt500 and 350 will end. Only time will tell.

If by a 3 year run you mean 3 Model Years: 2015 (137 cars); 2016 (in production); and 2017 then you got it figured out!

Nothing was ever announced in stone. They said somewhere AROUND the Boss numbers, which people guessed to mean 5000/500 (R).

It could be 3500/400, 3500/700 up to 5000/400 or 5000/700; basically they could go over or under on each regualr and R. I would venture to guess under based on how slow they're being produced though and the initial problems; at least for this year.

But no one ever said officially we will roll 5000/500 off the line no more no less. Again, I would guess less though based on yield of parts for them being slow (and the CF wheels on the R are probably a big yield factor to how many of those get built)

Agreed, nothing solid, said somewhere between Boss 302 and GT500. Considering they have less than 2500 total built so far, orders close in March and final production in June, I could see them making closer to 3500 than 5000

I have mine and its not on that list.

I believe this has been posted before, but the only thing I ever saw regarding volumes is here.

Supplier sources involved with the 5.2L V8 program said Ford broadcast an initial volume plan for production of 5000 units.

I think production is trickling out to keep interest high, balance constraints in engine supplies, and react to market information we don't see. I believe we will see more in 2 months, based on it going into the later part of this model year and how allocations are being managed now.

In my opinion, there is a lot of Mustang supply in the North American market, but perhaps RHD and other markets is where there might be a demand and supply conflict.

Here in the DC Metro, dealers have GT350's sitting on lots. Then again, dealers here have marked them up $20,000 minimum. Ford should have set a cap on how much dealers can mark-up. I don't think it has anything to do with trying to keep interest high.

Unfortunately that didnt say how over how many years that was ;). But once you factor in the Rs, the 2015 cars, spares, test mules and crate motors, 5000/500 seems a bit optimistic

I think this is the most logical scenario.

When they said 5,000 engines it was the 137 in 2015, 2016 run and 2017 run all combined. Maybe a few more than projected.

But it would make sense why there are only 137+2500 built so far. Remember, the 2017 orders start in 3 months so the plant changeover to 2017s is coming up soon here (not that it matters as I dont see them making any changes to the GT350 at all so they're all the same for the whole run).

Idk that they count show cars/pre-production/track cars in those numbers frankly

I believe for the standard GT350 Ford will produce the stated 5000 cars by end of model year 2016. They only started building in earnest in late September (my car is G0050 produced 9/24) and they are a little above 2000 units 4 months later. Now that they have a lot of bugs worked out they'll crank em out quickly from here.

Wild card is I heard reports they shut the GT350 production down but not sure if it is hearsay or only applies to R production. If there is a supplier issue than maybe they won't make it but I think they will.

I fail to see how 4 more months of production is "soon". That can EASILY be another 2000 more GT350s at 25 cars per weekday.
