ROYAL CRIMSON S550 MUSTANG THREAD

[1 old racer]

I miss my royal crimson! I wish they would’ve brought that color back in 2022/2023. Had to get rid of mine because of an accident.

Every time I see a Royal Crimson, I stare at it. The other day my wife got excited when she saw one closed to our home. That color was wayyyyyy underrated.

I read that only 4 % of all 2018's sold were RC's that makes us very rare indeed

I read that only 4 % of all 2018's sold were RC's that makes us very rare indeed

I did a little research using Marti reports, and posted about it on the Royal Crimson Census Facebook page a couple of months ago. Here's what I put:

OK. Here's what the Marti reports came up with for total Royal Crimson production:​

Ecoboost fastback - 1664​

Ecoboost convertible - 515​

GT fastback - 1814​

GT convertible - 403​

That makes a total of 4396 for Royal Crimson production out of 90,056 total according to the Marti reports. That's just a touch under 5% total production for the year. Thanks to the people that shared their Marti reports.​

The total number of Mustangs made is pretty easy to screw up, as there are several different numbers that are presented as being the "official" number. I found the number given from a Ford media page. There is a significant difference between number of Mustangs sold in 2018 and the number of 2018 Mustangs sold. Quite a few Mustangs sold in 2018 (something over 100k) were actually 2017 Mustangs. My Mustang wasn't sold new until 2020, so who knows if they ever got it counted as a sold 2018. I've still got mine, and don't plan on getting rid of it. Next week I get to change the motor mounts, as I popped the passenger side one while downshifting coming into corner 2 at Hallett Raceway.

So lets see where this puts us. From 2015 thru 2023 a total of 818359 were sold (according to Wikipedia) and out of that 4396 were R.C's. Wow, about a 1/2 of 1% were RC/'s. Yep pretty rare indeed.

Don't think there are many R.C.'s left out there. So I figured I would post this. I won "Favorite Race Horse" award back in Oct at the Mustang by the sea down in San Diego

Congrats Will!
