GT350 Production to Start with 2015 Model?

This site may earn a commission from merchant affiliate links, including eBay, Amazon, and others.

I recently heard a rumor that Ford will make 125 2015 GT350's. These could be made at the very end of the 2015 production cycle and the 2016's will be right behind them. Not sure of the rationale but it could be so that there are some 50th anniversary cars for the 1965 GT350. ;) While it's possible these cars could be on the streets before October 1st I still don't expect to see any 2016 GT350's before then.

As awesome as it would be if they could kick out a limited line like that...I will wait for the 2016, I don't want to be fighting people for a 2015.

Though it would be cool to have a 50 anniv...lol
 
what would be really cool is if they stuck to history and did some battsh#$ crazy 2015's to commemorate the '65 and then did a broader run of the more street-friendly 2016 following the original.

I really don't care what model year designation it has...I'm just keenly interested in getting on. I am cautiously optimistic...'cautious' because the 2015 gt performance pack car I drove left me uninspired. Hard to be inspired after using the boss as my dd for a few years now...it's such a charismatic car. The 15 certainly had 'the bones' to be great but I just wasn't feeling the connection. Something tells me that flexing the loud pedal on that FPC 5.2l is going to be satisfying.
 
Semi related, but probably meaning NOTHING as it came from a dealer, but just saw this in my inbox from one of the 4 dealers I had contacted...

I'm just guessing hey are being as optimistic as us. I could see order banks opening up early April though...

I thought it already started ;-)

I do have an aspirational order in the bank for 'a 15 R avalanche grey. looking unlikely that I'd get it...but you never know.
 
The 2015 will be gobbled up by collectors and people in very tight with the dealers. I'm hoping it drives design iterations for an even better 2016 and then 2017 GT350

Ford announces today that they will build only 100 2015 Shelby GT350 's and only 37 2015 GT350R's. The 37 R models pay homage to the original 37 units built by Shelby in 1965.

Of the 100 GT350's 50 will have the Track Pac and 50 will have the Electronic package.

These cars will be snapped up quickly. If you want one, color should not be a concern as it will be a matter of just having an opportunity to purchase one of these amazing vehicles.

All the best

agreed. I'm hoping to be included in the latter category (tight with the right dealer)
though, I'm really not tied to trying to get a 15. a '16 will be just fine ;-)

You saw it here first way ahead of the other online sources. Stay tuned for the next big rumor. ;D
