I think the GT350 will be a crap shoot just like all the modern Shelby's. Some may hold value but most likely they won't. If you want a Shelby for the investment then go get one from Shelby like the Super Snake. Outside of that, buy it and enjoy it. Better luck buying Apple stock than thinking just because it says Shelby it is going up in value.

Great enjoy it. I liked my 2013 GT500 for the short time I had it. I got bored with it quickly but I did get way more compliments and looks from that car then I ever have from my current car.

I mentioned to my Ford dealer a few months ago that I might like to get one (2015) and to put me on the list. My salesman called in late June to say that the dealership just got allocated 3, the owners were taking 2 of them, and I could come in that morning to order and build the 3rd one. All well and good until I asked how much. $50k over MSRP! After having purchased 20+ cars (kids, business, etc.) from them over the years, I told him how pissed I was. No such thing as loyalty with domestic car dealers. Actually not much with any dealers period. They could care less......
Someone else will be getting the next 20 cars from me!

Nice Tasman - any ADM?
So I looked into the 2015/16 deal. 2015/2016 will have the exact same build options and both go into production the same time. They are confusingly calling the first 137 units *2015. The following builds will be "2016" going into the 4,000 range. Makes no sense, but yes I suppose if you wanted to have the first 100 built - i'm told most of these cars were not available to the public- the chassis number after 100 is what most are ordering. I don't care either way...same exact car.

They will no doubt be a collectors item as it will likely be the lowest production number EVER for a Mustang sub model for a yearly production.
Don't take my word for it? Go try to buy one. Those 37R's will be worth tons of money someday. First year of GT350 as well as flat crank? Bet your *** its valuable, especially since its a stick only and fiber wheels and front ceramics?
I know cars, and it will be valuable.

If they are at the dealers and up for auction they are by default available to the general public. Not hard to understand. You are confused, you didn't even know what you ordered or what you gave a deposit for?
Info was well known, on sites such as Jalopnik and Boldride several months ago.
You did start the thread didn't you????

i hope they make enough to where it can be used as intended.. a very affordable track toy which can also be used daily. it's going to be an amazing car no doubt...
the regular version with the track package is the one to get IMO.

You are totally incorrect but I won't argue past that. They decided at the last minute to make very limited 2015 run to commemorate the 50th Anniversary.

Don't take my word for it? Go try to buy one. Those 37R's will be worth tons of money someday. First year of GT350 as well as flat crank? Bet your *** its valuable, especially since its a stick only and fiber wheels and front ceramics?
