02Production & history
Production
Every figure says what it counts.
| What is counted | Figure | Basis | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total model productiontotal cars built 2004–2006 | 4,0381 | Factory production | Independently researched |
Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.
History
Production began in 2004 for the 2005 model year. Each car passed through five stages: assembly at Mayflower Vehicle Systems in Norwalk, Ohio, paint by Saleen in Troy, engine assembly at Romeo, and final installation at Wixom, Michigan. For 2006 Ford added the Heritage livery (package 68G, $13,000), inspired by the Gulf-liveried GT40 and specified on 343 cars.
