How many Mach 1's

[merlin803]

Do we know how the serial numbers are assigned? Mine is a 2023 and is #P0004 & I am just curious as to what the letter/number range is.

21=M
22=N
23=P?

21=M
22=N
23=P?

Interesting if true. I guess that would make mine the 4th 2023

YUP!! Great number!!

I quoted this from a member here , Yes P = 2023

btw after 2030 the chassis numbers are pretty lame. Just a number?

No wonder it was so hard to find a Blue one around my area, let alone one that had the options I wanted. It's like a Babe Ruth card (I kid, lol).

so it s a coincidence that 2021 was "M". M was for Mach1 or Mustang I first thought, LOL.

because 21-23 was so light with Mach1 builds I wonder if it was planned or covid shutdown related?

Definitely light in numbers for sure but I have a sneaking suspicion that Ford actually sold more Mach 1's than initially expected because of covid. Hear me out, when covid pushed the car market into the the chip shortage, manufacturers began making more higher end models with greater profit margins than base models. They had to use the chip supply strategically and were able to charge more to customers (then of course the greedy dealers wanted to upcharge "Market Adjustments" on top of it).

By no means are the current gen Mach 1 numbers high, but I honestly think they are selling more than anticipated when they brought back the Mach 1 trim.

Perecentages from Mustangspecs

" The original MACH1 was built in 1967. In 1968 an experimental model was built for racing and resembled the FORD GT. Many of the features in this experimental car were incorporated into the production MACH1’s that followed. " Mustangspecs

Unless I’m mistaken, how do they get those numbers if Ford hasn’t released anything for 2021-2022?

Someone knows a line worker, they quoted him in a previous topic.

Beautiful. Now if we can just get a color breakdown. I don't even mind options right now just colors.

I’m going to take a SWAG at it and say my Velocity Blue based on the overall #’s single year color, maybe one of 2500. Let’s revisit that and see how it ages as we get more info. I’m really interested in the #’s for TO and TY also. They are also single release year colors.
I’m pretty certain the export models may be counted separately since they aren’t U.S. spec.

I guess that would make

There’s a VB Mach in my area somewhere, I remember seeing it on my dealers lot about this time last year. It’s a really beautiful color. But there’s at least 2 of you out there now. But I agree, the single year colors will be the rarest most likely, especially the 2021’s with all the Covid delays and plant shutdowns.

One of the members here posted the last ones made on Facebook, probably here as well. He's actually posted in this thread I believe. Pictures taken on the line. Also this question get asked A LOT. lol

I thought I heard that originally they were shooting for 7,500 units a year. But I don't think it was ever made official.

Velocity Blue might be rarer than that, maybe 1 of 700. So far the registry only shows 11% of 2021's as Velocity Blue. If you haven't viewed the registry yet it's: http://www.rqtekia.com/21-22mach1registry/
