There have been a variety of aspects of the new Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang left a mystery by the automaker since the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show debut last year and one of those mysteries is the model year of the new GT350. At first, it was believed that it would be a 2016 model year, following up the 2015 debut model year, but if that was the case, then why didn’t Ford just call it the 2016 GT350? Well, a comment made by a Ford executive about there being a special reason for the delay in announcing the model year got us all thinking.
The consideration was that perhaps Ford is going to try to squeeze in the Shelby GT350 Mustang for the 2015 model year, but with the end of the 2015 model year coming to an end this summer, it wouldn’t leave the Motor Company much time to sell the new high performance pony. Regardless of the time constraints, information from Mustang6g.com indicates that there will be some new GT350 Mustangs included in the 2015 model year.
