Thanks for posting the info, surprising to see Grabber Blue was not a popular color.

Phantom26

Yes, I thought the Grabber Blue would be a more popular color as well. Amazing to see how many Black GT500's are running around.



So how unique is your GT500 looking at the list?

The best I could figure out, is I am 1 of only 43 Kona Blue Coupes, with White Stripes and Recaro seats. No telling exactly how many with the same order options, but that would be neat to know!

I thought my combo would be kinda "common". Not so. Maybe 20 like mine?

Fully 1/3 of all '12's were black with SVTPP - that surprised me.

Wow, nice stats, for such a low production number, a dealer near me,have 5 2011s and 2 2012s sitting for yrs...and I know of 2 other dealerships , they have 3 each 2012s sitting since Oct 2011 unsold.

The 2011 numbers would make a nice comparisson.

Those are good numbers to look at, both '11 and '12. Black clearly is a common color, but I'm surprised Grabber Blue not only isn't popular, but it's the least favorite in both years. It's not my favorite at all, but I thought it would fare better than that.

You might be the only one surprised by that.

Does that mean I can put a badge in my signature?

Somebody at Ford really likes Grabber Blue since they made the first 2013 show car that color.

11SHELBYGT500

It's the only one they plan to make.

kcoTiger

It's a historic color, correct? Perhaps they're trying just a bit too hard to push it. Would much rather have seen the GT500 get SBY instead of grabber blue, but I understand why they reserved it for the boss.

MrBonus

I don't understand the lack of Grabber popularity. It's the best color Ford is currently producing.

wheelman

I agree, but its the same %s with GTs. Im surprised theyre still offering it considering that they usually pull colors that arent doing well. Happy though b/c its the color I wanted, though Id have taken SBY, CompOrange or SunsetGold.

I have been lucky enough to visit the SVT Headquarters and it makes perfect sense to me!!!

The GT500 Program Manager has a Beautiful Grabber Blue GT500 with Black Stripes, hense the 2013 release color scheme. Where I cant say that is the 100% reason why, that would be my guess!
