Royal Crimson

[FO 2/11]

Have an '18 GT in Royal Crimson. Ordered it specifically because of that color. I still get compliments on it, people can't believe it's 8 years old and in those 8 years I have not seen another one like it. Does anyone know if there is any way to find out how many GTs Ford built in 2018 in Royal Crimson? Thank You.

Think I'll start calling it my "Crimson Ride"!

That's a magnificent colour.
Unfortunately they only made it for a very short time, and by the time I ordered my Mustang it had already been discontinued, otherwise that's what I would have picked.

One year color only - 2018.
I tried to order one and missed the window by 10 days, ended up with Ruby metallic instead. Beautiful color...

Yeah, I got lucky, ordered it and had to wait 8 months for it. I see you have a Mark VII. In the '70s when I was in my 20s, I had a '72 Mark IV like the one in the attached photo. Loved that beauty!! Loved the '70s too...... Take care.

I have the Marti report for my 2018 "RC".
90,056 2018 Mustangs
28,864 Were 5.0 GT fastbacks
11,643 Were 6 speed manuals
653 of them were painted Royal Crimson
Mine goes on. PP1, CF / Alcantara interior, Magneride, Active Exhaust, Nav, and a couple more options.

The options on your car, and how Kevin Marti structures the report will give very different results.
But you get the idea. There were NOT a lot of code R3 cars.

All that said, yes. It's an awesome color that gets the car noticed!

Thank you for your service!!!

Thank you for mentioning it. 653, that explains the rarity. Always trade the other one in. Enjoy!!

My wife was buying a Mustang in 2018 and we looked at one in Royal Crimson, but it didn't have something she wanted on it. We decided to order a 19, and well. NO RC! Kona Blue was NOT a big disappointment!

I won't be trading SQUAT for a long, long time. My wife just loves hers. I'm really happy with mine, and I just retired. I think I'll do exactly what you suggest - kick back and ENJOY!
How many miles on your "Crimson Ride"?

15,000 gentle and some not so gentle miles. After all what's the point in owning a 400 plus horsepower Mustang if you don't jump on the throttle once in a while. When I ordered it the Active Valve Exhaust was an $800 dollar option, but I mistakenly ordered the Upgraded Sound System which was also $800 dollars, hence no Active Valve. However, as time goes by, I am noticing that the exhaust rumble is getting throatier, which is great as far as I'm concerned. Also, those are some Awesome wheels on your wife's GT! Have a good one.

I found my car last June with 5664 miles on it. It was pushing 10K when I put it in storage mode.
I completely agree with driving the car! It won't get abused, but will be driven in a sporting manner. It will get maintained properly and get a few tasteful upgrades.
My RC has every option BUT the upgraded sound system!! I have already taken care of that.
That IS the Royal Crimson with those wheels. We were driving it home from North Carolina with her behind the wheel, and me buying those wheels and tires. Just not a fan of the black wheels.
This is the wife's car. LOVES her chrome or polished wheels! And she's not happy that I took this while it was dirty!!
