How rare is it?
Six separate kinds of rarity – never combined into one number.
Each kind of rarity is rated separately and never combined.
02Production & history
Production
Every figure says what it counts.
| What is counted | Figure | Basis | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Factory package production1969 GT350 convertibles ('1,085 coupes and 194 convertibles') | 1941 | 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
Shelby put a new grille and hood on the Mustang for 1969, and the GT350 now used a Windsor 351 cu in V-8 rated at 290 brake horsepower with an Autolite four-barrel. Production was 1,085 coupes and 194 convertibles. Options included SelectShift Cruise-O-Matic, air conditioning, tinted glass and a tilt steering wheel. Carroll Shelby ended his relationship with Ford in summer 1969 and Shelby Mustang production stopped, although a few cars were re-titled as 1970 models.
