Awesome GT 500 that you have in very small company! Question to you since your car and mine are similar. Mine is a 2013 DIB glass roof car. As I read the Marti Report on yours, I am thinking that yours could still be a 1 of 1 car for the following reason. Unless I am missing something, I think it possible that the other car to which you are "twins" might be different in that the other car could be a stripe delete car. The report doesn't breakout the stripe aspect of the car while it does include the black accent stripe on the Recaro seats. As you know, all stripe delete cars were mandated to only have the black accent on the seats. So as I look at your report, I would have no way of knowing if yours did have stripes of any color or not? But, in looking over just your avatar it seems clear to me that you do have the black stripes.

I have purchased the report from Marti for my car and expect to receive mine any day now. 2013 DIB glass roof, stripe delete, all options including car cover. The only option it does not have is the license plate bracket which I tried so hard to explore from Ford and others to locate one for me but they just laughed.

That is exactly why I have been telling you that the Marti reports are wrong. We have seen this before as they have been wrong on these.
Thanks for proving that, despite assurances you just want to "help," you're just a troll who failed stats. Placing you on IGNORE...
.Marti has " the " account with Ford, has access to ALL FORD'S RECORDS, & is recognized and accredited in the collector car world.
I think what you're suggesting is referred to as " pissing in the wind " !!.
+1. Marti is the gold standard in this stuff.

The problem with your theory is that "Tape Stripes Delete – Top and side stripe delete" (Option 46D) should be listed for a stripe delete car. The fact that it's not listed here indicates a striped car. The fact that Marti identifies it as 1 of 2 indicates its twin is also striped.

Thanks Norton but the problem I guess I have is that it would have been nice if it made notice as to how many were done with "Black Stipes". Who's to say that in this case that the car didn't have say a blue stripe? After all, if I am not mistaken, a blue stripe car could have also had the black seat insert on the Recaro's no?

Was just thinking, did the option list even make notice of what color stripes a particular car got? If there is no mention of what color stripes a car got, then there would be no way of knowing and all striped cars would then be as one group. Maybe thats my answer? I have not reviewed any other cars build sheets to know if the stripe colors were listed or not. Now, if a car got insert colors on the Recaro's, then we know that it had stripes in that particular color since the only way to get the seat color inserts was to have the exterior stripes. The black stripe is different in that the standard insert was black so a black exterior striped car would then get black inserts although they wouldn't need to have been ordered.

No.

Blue Stripes = Blue seat inserts
Red Stripes = Red seat inserts
White Stripes = White seat inserts

Norton, after you posted this, I previously just edited my most recent post. Please take a look at that and let me know what you think. With your reply here, I totally agree and understand it. But let me ask you this, if you built an exterior striped car was it MANDATORY to have the stripes on the seats? I didn't think it was.

You're making this more complicated than it is. Stripe colors (aka Accents) were chosen/listed options.

Black Accents = 6X (STD) or QX (Recaro)
White Accents = 62 (STD) or Q2 (Recaro)
Blue Accents = 6B (STD) or QB (Recaro)
Red Accents = 6R (STD) or QR (Recaro)

Stripe delete (Option 46D) was available with only Black Accents (6X / STD or QX / Recaro).

Contrary to what some (one) assert, Marti Reports are known for their accuracy. If it says a car is 1 of 2, it's 1 of 2.

Sorry to put you through that and yes I most certainly seem to be overthinking it and making it more complicated than it is. The eye being quicker than the mind so to speak, ha ha. I have used Marti in the past and I respect and trust them fully. Like you say, they are the one. Look forward to seeing more of us get these reports and posting them. Now when I get mine, I'd love to post it too but I have no idea how to upload an image.

No apology required! I don't mind culling through the stats and documentation I've collected.

Speaking of which, my (2013) Personal Statistics Report arrived today...
- 4077 GT500 Coupes of which
- 1464 were Black of which
- 800 had Black Leather Recaro Bucket Seats w/Black Accents of which
- 676 had SVT Track Package of which
- 499 had Shaker Pro of which
- 399 had Full Vehicle Covers of which
- 382 had Electronics Package of which
- 256 had Black Stripes

My Stat report showed up on my GB/white stripe 2014.

4816 GT500s
166 in GB
13 with base seats/white stripe
11 with SVT PP
3 with glass roof
2 with car cover.

Mine is one of those two. I did email them and ask why they didn't use the electronics package or shaker pro to further differentiate and they said the algorithm looks for unique options that break it down to as close to a "1 of" as they can get. So, the electronics package may have indicated 25 with the electronics package, but that really didn't help narrow it down like the above chosen options.

Neat piece of history.....wonder where my twin is?

Long before a Marti Stat report was available for my 2011, I had a " Deluxe Build Sheet ". That sheet said the car was " 1 of 2 ".
I contacted the group that sent the sheet & got a letter from Ford Customer Service, telling me the " other " car like mine was sold in Ill., to a small trucking co..

Guys, sorry, I just saw this tread and am interested in purchasing a report from Marti. A quick question:
1) When I enter my model year of 2014, I can choose either Mustang or Shelby - I think I should select "shelby" but wasn't sure if this was for Shelby America cars only?

Thanks,

From the 2014 Ford production sheet, the "rarest" I can get is 1 of 43. I think the Marti report will show that it's more rare than that. We'll see!

Also, out of 4,816 '14 GT500 coupes, only 221 were ingot silver (4.6%)!

As more of a joke than anything else, I sent for a " Stat " report for my 2017 F150.
They seem to be available for F-series trucks from 1970 forward.
Anyhow, Ford made over 1 million F-Series trucks in 2017.
How crazy is it that it also turned out to be " 1 of 1 " ??

We need pics!
Crazy it’s a 1 of 1 truck, what are the chances? Need to buy a lotto ticket, or better yet, take it to Barrett Jackson towing the Shelby :)

I found it interesting how the report went from:
Over 1 million gross built.....to
Less than 30K F150 Scabs....to
Less than 6500 with 5.0's....to
Less than 300 in Race Red...to
Less than 10 with black leather bucket seats..
