Very useful! Always puzzled me why my paint code was "RD" as I always thought that meant my car was red before haha

 

[silverv6]

[sleepn_sn95]

Now if we only had total production numbers and Cobra/Gt/V6/vert breakdown.

lol you're not asking for much are you

 

[CC'S95GT]

just a little. I've seen the color break down before but that's as far as it went. the rest of the info has got to be somewhere.

 

[Steve@CJPP]

I can get a good chunck of it. Give me a little bit and I will see what I can do.

 

[Steve@CJPP]

You want something like this?

1995	Total Number
2dr Coupe 3.8L	86,379
2dr Convertible 3.8L	18,593
2dr Coupe GT	47,088
2dr Convertible GT	16,668
		BZ	ES	E8	E9	JA	KF	NA	RD	WJ	UA	ZR
2dr Coupe GTS	6,370	344	25	777	1,123	96	197	1,002	217	312	1,430	847
		UA	E8	ZR
2dr Coupe Cobra	4,255	1,433	1,447	1,125
2dr Convertible Cobra	1,003	1,003
2dr Coupe Cobra R	250			250

 

[CC'S95GT]

pretty much exactly. Are you going to do the breakdown for all the other models like you did with the GTS and Cobra's? Nice work

Thanks, but the only issue I have my source only has the break down for the Cobra's and the GTS, I will try to see if I can come up with the numbers for the GT's and 3.8's.

 

[CC'S95GT]

you are the man

 

[Mike_98GT]

Its weird how laser red in 97 is E9. But in 2003 laser red is ES. And E9 is 2003 becomes torch red.

 

[Steve@CJPP]

after some more research I have found more information that needs to be corrected. The publication either has bad editors or no editors at all. I thought the same thing but who am I to question a book lol. I will be updating my info soon.

+1 for sticky

I'm with him...

 

[Cobra Jet]

I just wanted to add a little tid bit of info for the 94's:

E8, often referred to as "Rio Red" - that paint code on the 94 Cobras is also known as "Vermillion". This can be confirmed by the actual coding found on the factory BUC tag (found behind driver's side headlamp, affixed to rad support). Rio Red and Vermillion are supposedly one in the same, but the BUC paint code reads as "VERM" even though the E8 is present on the tag.

Fact:

(The BUC supplied in that link is from my 94 Cobra)

I have some numbers on the 2004 Competition Orange GT Converts. 408 in total, 177 Automatics and 231 5 speeds. I have no official Ford numbers but got these numbers from two different sources back in 04/05. I would appreciate any other information that may crop up concerning production numbers for this model.
