Ah, I remember the initial production hype on the limited production run to keep the mark-ups high and how first year buyers thought it was only going to be a production of 7000 units.
That is one heck of a lot of cars. :o
Not exactly rare.

Agree with you 100%
But remember these are the SVT production line.
They carry no CSMs on them
This is why I posted them under the
SAAC Forum The Cars
2007-up Shelby GT350/GT500/
These SVT cars are just a tremendous package to drive and own

I stand corrected, it is no longer the SVT group.
It is now The Ford Performance Team created the 2020-2022 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500.
This team included designers, engineers, and virtual racing teams that used digital and additive manufacturing to develop the car.
My sincerest apologies if my statement offended anyone it certainly was not intentional

Had a " 1 of 2 " 2011, sold it in Sept. 2017.
Have a " 1 of 1 " 2014, both documented by Marti..
I suspect this problem is equally as relevant on late models

Sure your car could be the only one with a given set of popular options and an AM radio but disregards the identical cars in all respects except built with an AM-FM or AM-8track. Compared to a 69 GT vert with a SCJ 4 speed is more value relevant.

......................There are no identical cars, that's what makes it " 1 of 1 "
Marti applies the same yardstick to vehicles 1948 - 2020. Your 69 GT-SCJ-4 speed is rare
if it's the only one. How a car is optioned always has been the deciding factor on rare, doesn't matter the year.
For the 2014 MY, there were 134.345 Mustangs.
That # becomes 4,816 GT500 coupes.
That # becomes 600 painted SGM.
That # becomes 21 with black Recaros / red accents.
That # becomes 5 with the glass roof...............ETC..

...and given that, rare doesn't always equate to desirable or valuable.
According to the dictionary; not common or frequent; very unusual:
Personally its a word that is often overused and has little meaning to me.
