[QUOTE="USV8PWR, post: 13572448, member: 134833"] Good point! Talk about exclusive, the convertibles will likely see some appreciation even sooner. You can argue to a point that the reason the convertibles weren't produced in higher numbers was simply because there was much less demand. And while that is somewhat true and partly due from us folks who overwhelmingly ordered their cars in the coupe style the actual biggest reason is that the dealers didn't order them due to the fact that it is typically much easier to sell a coupe then a convertible; especially up North. While no doubt the demand for a convertible will always be much lower than a coupe there will ALWAYS be those (especially in the South) who want a car where they can put the top down. Except with less than 2,000 cars it will become very difficult, very quickly to find a clean 2013/2014 Shelby GT500 convertible available for sale at a depreciated price. I know one great guy on here that has over 20K on his 2013 convertible and will likely never let it go. So there is one less! The convertible people could potentially see some amazing prices being obtained on the used market within just a few short years after this model run is over, and likely somewhat quicker then the extra produced Coupe. Although the much, much greater demand for the Coupe will definitely help over come the majority of the approximately 6,500 extra of those that were built in excess of the approximately 2,000 Convertible production #. Limited production alone doesn't just have to exist so much as demand for the item. That's why that although the later 1995 and 2000 Cobra R models that, which were built in very limited quantities of only 250 and 300 each respectively, have also still dropped incredibly in value. The demand wasn't there (because the standard Mustang Cobra/Shelby cars became much better and more powerful over time) regardless of how few of them were built. [/QUOTE]
