"For 2012, Ford produced a total of 4,016 Boss 302 Mustangs. There were 3,249 basic cars and 767 Laguna Seca models. For 2013, production amounted to 4,273 cars, with 3,526 of the street version and 747 Laguna Seca editions."
Some claim the '08-'09 Bullitts were the lowest in numbers...I'm not sure of that. I thought I might want one, but just couldn't get past the "boy racer" look, so I passed. The Boss was definitely a good track/street car tho...lapping Laguna Seca faster than a stock BMW M3 of the same year, despite the boss having a live rear axle. Another reason I decided to pass was thinking that my Bullitt was probably the overall better road car, definitely more comfortable on a long drive. GT 500 was built more for the drag strip until (forget the year...newer body style) maybe 2018?
(edit) Hey, don't feel bad. It's easy to get out of touch. I've pretty much lost interest in what the latest is in performance cars...so really don't bother keeping track.
To answer Aschen...yeah, there were some buying new Bullitt models and putting them away, thinking they were going to make a killing. There have been some offered on The Bullitt posting board I visit. What can I say? These people guessed wrong on making a killing. On the other hand, they do seem to be retaining value well depending on condition.
