How many GT's are out there?
- Thread starter Delexjb
- Start date
Model years
Model years are usually start in September, but as of the past few years it seems as though it is all the way back until July/August. It also seems as though they run the model year longer than the calender year. There were no 2007 model year Ford GT's.

Here are the charts of Option Rates and Production numbers I made up from Ford reports back in 2006 at the end of the model run.
This data was derived directly from internal Ford C48/C50 reports (I worked there for over thirty years). Since I developed these charts, I have been able to identify the two "Special Paint" cars built in 2005 (5-0349, aka "Sonic Blue", and 5-0036, originally painted Gulf Blue, then repainted at the factory in Tungsten Grey).
There were no GTs built in 2007,, production ended in 2006. The last car (6-2045) came off the line on September 22, 2006. There was a higher VIN car built, (6-2047), but it was completed earlier, on August 28th, 2006. The last 177 cars were all designated for export to Canada, due to new FMVSS safety standards for US spec models that the Ford GT could not meet without an expensive re-design.
I am still collecting data for the SAAC GT Registry, so if you have not registered your GT with me, please send me an e-mail with your info, a picture of your car, and whatever mods you have made to it.
I am also tracking GTs that have been seriously damaged - If you have personal knowledge of a GT that's been wrecked, please send me an e-mail with the VIN and any pictures - they will be kept in the footnotes of the SAAC GT Registry.
I have also been collecting CARFAX reports on Ford GTs. If you have a CARFAX report on a GT you looked at, please share it with me. If you are looking at a GT, if you send me an e-mail with the VIN, I can check to see if I have a CARFAX or any pictures or history on it.

KingCobra has spoken! You can't get any more definitive than that. Plus, he's snowbirding in Florida and spit all this up from memory off the top of his head.

Hey you better have your certified dealer check your car out before the warranty lapses. I found a leaking A/C compressor with an oil change last week, getting it replaced today at no charge...2 days left in warranty!:banana
The 36 month warranty starts at the point of sale, not the build date.

For those new to this forum it was a unwritten rule, by the late Bony, not to post photos of crashed FGT unless it is your own, or you have the expressed permission of the owner.

My chart which came with the authentification kit says there were 27 2005 Black stripe delete cars with Black Calipers, 11 with Grey Calipers, and 20 with Red Calipers. Of those, 47 had Forged BBS wheels and 11 had the Standard Cast wheels. And, 50 had a McIntosh Radio, and 8 had the radio deleted. Thus, it appears that there were 58 Black stripe delete cars built in 2005. Additionally, there were 47 Side Stripes only, and 132 with full Silver Stripes, for a total of 237 Black 2005 FGT's.

Hmm... I have a 2006 / #0019. Does that mean 19th VIN in 2006 or 19th overall? I hear conflicting stories about the VIN sequencing.
Brian -
Radio Delete cars went to the UK and Europe. The digital FM radio frequencies over there are "even" numbered, whereas they are "odd" numbered in the U.S.

Stormy -
You won't see a "Radio Delete" GT in the US. "Radio Delete" was not an orderable option, but, it was spec'd by internal order edits for the cars built for export to Europe - none of the GTs that Ford built for Europe had a radio.
Similarly, none of the GTs originally built for Canada had anything but the Standard Radio - the Mac system was not available, and a delete option was not available, either.
RMax -
Yours would be the 19th VIN for 2006. The cars were not built in VIN order.

i would love to know:
1. How many still sit at Ford dealers?
2. How many are owned by forum members ? (hard because members come and go)
1. How many still sit at Ford dealers?
2. How many are owned by forum members ? (hard because members come and go)
1. Almost none. There were almost none when the car fell off the inventory list, which was years ago.
2. Over 1000.
