I'd like to know how to find out what # car we have.
Here is an update on the number produced so far
- Thread starter farmboy90
- Start date
I think we need an FAQ thread
We won't find out til the end of the model year run.
End the damn run now....
I want to know:
Production number
# x out of x built this way
Delivery order (if ever available)
You and me both since we had early cars
They won't know that until after the end of the model year run. All the cars have not been built yet so that information is unknown at this time. You will be able to purchase a certificate through SVT within a couple of months after the books close on this model year.
Another words.....wait for it.

These threads about how many cars of a particular year will be built should be labeled "for entertainment only" as there is no one here who has any business prognosticating exact build #s. Some of the experts who claim to get their figures from some magical source at the factory are apparently puzzled by production #s so far. Were the same guys at a loss for explanations when their strict limit of 3,000 units for '07 ballooned into a total of nearly 11,000 units.
Anybody with a double digit IQ knows that the manufacturer will build what they can sell. Understanding this requires a minimal amount of common sense. Take the rumors from "the man at the factory" with a grain of salt.

If they keep making them at a snail's pace like they have been, I think they will hit their 3,700 something target.
Yeah, let me see if I can get another computer printout based on the current/latest numbers.

Good call. Tell that to any manufacture that produced something in a limited quantity. Being exclusive is not to make everyone happy, its to make a select few happy and build brand quality and exclusivity.
Lets start.
ZL1 (only 2000) first year. Started building the 13's before people had their 12's.
Boss 302 LS ?
Shelby KR
Lexus ISF
Audi Q7 V-12 TDI
Editions: 555
Range Rover Autobiography Ultimate Edition
Editions: 500
A1 Diamond Edition Audi
Editions: 57
Lamborghini Sesto Elemento
Editions: 20
Bentley Limited Edition Continental Flying Spur
Editions: 10
Porsche 911 Turbo S China
Editions: 10
Aston-Martin One-77
Editions: 77
+1 nobody knows for sure. Even the amount produced so far puts the 13 out of super rare already. Guys need to just drive them and unless the op is the head of svt I'm sure his figures are purely speculation as well. Just because a car is limited production doesn't make it rare
Actually in a sense it does. If they only make 2000 of a car, and all 2000 are accounted for then(X amount of any given color exterior/interior/options/stripes/packages combos become 1 of X) other potential buyers cannot buy it even with adequate funds.
Everybody wants what they can't have.
The term rare would be for me a Quick Silver 98 supra in a 6 speed.
Limited production for me would be a 2012 ZL1.
The GT500 can be limited if resources / time play their cards right. Look at a 2011 or 2012 black with grabber stripes. There were like 7 made

The total count is slowly rising but I bet they try to keep it around 4500. I'm not sure about the prior years total production but this seems like it might be the lowest so far.
Interesting, the run rate has increased from 18 to 24 per day, but few additional allocations have come in. The completion date has moved from Feb 28th to Jan 23rd. I have not factored in the discussed plant closings.
Expect closure for 10 days in September and between thanksgiving and new years for retooling.
Thanks Farmboy. For those of us who are still waiting, those numbers are pretty interesting. In another thread, Iceman posted that he talked with the plant manager, and the 2000th Shelby was just produced. He also confirmed what someone else had posted that the plant will be shutdown for most of November and possibly early December for equipment upgrades, and the plant is currently shutdown until 9/10. With an "end of 2013 production" reported to be in mid to late Jan 2014, sure looks like the monthly average production number for the remainder of the 2013 model production period is going to have to to be closer to 600 than 500, IMO.
