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 productionunsold 1969 Shelbys converted to 1970 models (RM Paris lot says 780) | 7881 | 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
Carroll Shelby ended his relationship with Ford in the summer of 1969 and Shelby Mustang production stopped, although a few cars were re-titled as 1970 models. These are 1969 cars with new serial numbers rather than new designs. RM Sotheby's gives 1969 GT350 production as 1,085 coupes and 194 convertibles.
