Important!! - True and accurate production numbers are very difficult to come by (especially directly from Ford). It is common to see various sources quote different production numbers for any given year, bodystyle or model. Because of this, the production numbers shown here should be considered unofficial numbers. The numbers shown on this page were obtained from many various, reputable sources, but none were obtained by us directly from Ford Motor Company. Our sources include the 1979-1993 V8 Mustang Specifications Guide, the 1983 Mustang GT Convertible Registry, the 1984 GT350 20th Anniversary Registry, Mustang Club of America, etc.

Please send us any additions or corrections you may have to these numbers. If you see any numbers published in magazines and/or books that we don't show here or that differ from our numbers, please let us know! Include the book or magazine the information is from so we can give credit for the info.
