The Best 1969 Shelby Production Figures
7/4/2022
There were at least eight pre-production 1969 prototype cars. These cars were used for engineering tests and as show cars. They were later sold to the public.
Regular production started in December 1968 and ran through July of 1969. The Shelby program would shut down in the fall of 1969.
These production numbers come from Ford records and are the most accurate. It should be noted that many incorrect numbers are in circulation . The Shelby World Registry has ammended the production numbers previously published, because of the additional records. For more information contact SAAC directly. 1969 Shelbys were not built with a strict adherence to consecutive unit numbers. Some numbers were not used.
