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

 

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.

That's Awesome. Thank You For Posting.

 

The 2011 numbers would make a nice comparisson.

 

2011 GT500, Total Produced: 5,100

Total Coupe Produced: 4,150
- Black - 1,470
- Race Red - 869
- Kona Blue - 587
- Performance White - 425
- Sterling Grey - 410

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.

 

It's the only one they plan to make.

 

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.

 

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

 

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!
