2013 SHO Production Data from Ford

[SHOdded]

For the same reason I hardly see ANY late model Taurii around these parts!  There seem to be pockets everywhere.

I go months without seeing another one in the Colorado Springs area.  I'd think they would be even more rare down south due to people not wanting AWD.

Ok this is getting silly.  At those production numbers we are owners of a fairly rare commodity.  Of the current body type there should be no more than 35-45K SHO's anywhere.

If those assumptions are correct than why do I run into them all the time?  Today at lunch in Dallas we ended up with this:

Edited for wrong picture. 

I lived in Texas for 23 years... Everything is bigger there, LOL. A bit of a rare bird for sure though.

There are a couple here in Des Moines area that I see - one '10-'12 and a '13 (red and black accordingly). Can't believe they made less than 2k in '12, wonder if that was due to the model refresh in '13?

The worrying part of those numbers is will they do another refresh/redesign in '16? Between those numbers and the decline of the full sized sedan it worries me...

If Ford didn't already offer the X Sport, I'd have said make the Taurus X again like Fiat did with their 500.  But seriously, yeah, the '16 is supposed to still be around, not sure after that.

No wonder it took me so long to find a Blue with PP.   It was worth the 4 month hunt and buying it from another state!

Thank you for posting this!

Wha... that's it?   Jeez, these things are rare.

Only 195 Silver w/ PP.  I feel like I'm driving an exotic.

Black made up 42%, which makes sense from what I see on the road and members on this board.

So.... I'm going to assume (I know dangerous) that the 2014 numbers will be much the same.  That being said being in the 42% of a rare vehicle still counts as unique?  Somehow I've managed to live near at least 4 other SHO owners.  Or at least close enough that when I go to the hardware store I run into them.  Wish Ford would publish which states received them.

I've seen a few by my house too, I know there is a white one in my neighborhood.

I owned a 2006 Pontiac GTO, bought new off showroom.  I always thought that was a rare car, the SHO tops it.

2006 GTO Production: 13,948.  I had a Brazen Orange, which was 1,175.

My 2 1992 Audi S4 have production numbers listed between 250 to 900 units depending on site and if is USA only or North America units. 
My 2004 VW Phaeton 1 of 1,433 Phaetons
2008 Pontiac Grand Prix GXP 1 of 4842
1990 Oldsmobile Touring Sedan 1 of 5566
1989 Oldsmobile Touring Sedan 1 of 7193
2013 SHO 1 of 7592

Lol so this is the least rare of the rare cars i have had lol I have a common rare car addiction problem. THANKS for posting this info. Ill have to order mine soon.

I tend to gravitate to the rare vehicles also, I have '92 Typhoon #2069 of 2200 sitting in my garage
