The article says they built 138 in 2017 and the article says...

The supplier is expected to hit its goal of building 250 GTs for the 2018 model year

Where did you get your info? Unless they raised the base price recently, that’s not correct.

Unfortunately for all of us in line, Jerry, he is correct. $494,500 base now.

Could that be for later 18's or perhaps 19's?

In France, the basic model price before any option is 551 000 €, which is $ 644 000 !!!
I must have accepted this price, but I understand it with difficulty.

California is kind of a “foreign country “ also!

......and don’t even mention the additional money to get the heritage or lightweight!. As stated above, ‘19 models are typically coming out above $600 k. Having said that, the ‘packages’ are a bargain - I priced out a car to be identical to my ‘06 ( midnight blue with white stripes, black leather interior and red calipers) and it came out more expensive that the lighweight- thirty grand here, fifteen there and soon you’re talking real money!

Gentlemen,

I feel like I got a 50K discount now! I wonder if that 138 figure included the factory cars that are still being tested by magazines and blog sites.

Exactly Chip, your equity jumped 10% while you were sleeping. All thanks to us generous 19 guys.

I think maybe a rootbeer and burger should be coming my way. I think Ron needs to supply the fancy cow beef for this gift.

Haha enjoy the yellow - "Hot as the AZ sun" pair of kids in your garage.

I expected a price increase. I don't remember the 05 to 06 GT having a 10% price increase. Might be wrong though.

"old" GT had a $10k base price increase. Late fall 2005 if I recall correctly.

I got caught in the 05-06 price increase after I ordered my 06 and it was $10,000! Ford made up though on my 2017 model!!! Thank You Ford!
