Wow I thought it would have been more than that. It looks like less than 1000 will be made. Thanks for the info.

I was looking through some dealers inventory the other day just to see what was out there, and saw a '12 YB GT/CS with glass roof. I'd say that would probably be a pretty rare combo if they've only made 500 total so far this year.

I was considering the Boss, my choise was YB. It's an excellent mix with the black accents and wheels.

Yeah, I like the color too, but don't like it because you think it's rare.

But it is rare....i have only seen 3 like it in 7 months. And I wanted one after I saw one of those. It had nothing to do with being a rare color. To me, that is a bonus .

I've never seen a Yellow Blaze on the road ... when they first came out a saw a YB V6 in a local dealers lot that I stopped to look at... I have seen more Sunset Golds (1 V6 and another GT locally) than Yellow Blazes. Ford made 415 Sunset Gold GT's.

Exactly 250 Bosses like that, and exactly 1 with the white stripes. I know that the 1 was ordered by accident, and that the combo appeared in the Canadian Order Guide, but not in the sales literature.

I have a 2012 yellow base premium gt.. its a decent option car with heated seats and 3.73s..im glad the color is rare and lets face it, its tuff looking. i just got my 3d carbon 500 spoiler and i also got the dg window scoops, on my 2009 i used shr louvers but i just didnt have heart to cut up my 2012
hey are you guys painting the gurney flaps black(if so what color black)or should i just do whole spoiler in yellow blaze ?

I loved the old Chrome Yellow and the later Screaming Yellow, but really didn't like the Sunset Gold or the more egg yolk yellow Ford made for a few years. Yellow Blaze is pretty great too, but the lady did not like yellow at all so I went with Race Red - she let me get the Stang I wanted so I figured compromising on color wasn't so bad

See now that looks good to me and it is rare also. People get stuck on a color and that is the only color they will buy. Like myself with the LL lots of people hate the color but for some its the only color they will buy. Maybe down the road it will be worth a few bucks more because of its rarity.
