Shelby GT500 Reported: 5,026 Special edition

The 68,650 Ford-origin snapshot leads because it is the most direct surviving count record and its six series/body rows reconcile exactly, not because any later secondary page independently confirms it. The report's printed March 13, 2011 refresh date, population, and market boundary are unresolved, so this is not a final full-model-year production claim. The 70,438, 81,024, and 69,901 unknown-market alternatives retain their separate scopes. GT500 detail overlaps the two named Shelby rows and is not added again.

Why published totals differ

Reported: 68,650 Ford 2011 Mustang Take Rate Report Six 2011 Mustang series/body columns in a Ford-origin take-rate report refreshed March 13, 2011; geographic market and population are not printed. The six displayed rows reconcile exactly, but the dated snapshot is not established as final full-model-year production.
Disputed: 70,438 MustangSpecs 2011 Production Numbers table MustangSpecs and MustangAttitude detailed 2011 table total; geographic market, cutoff, and overlap rules are not stated. The table separately adds MCA, GT/CS, and Shelby GT350 rows whose relationship to the Ford snapshot's broader series columns is unresolved.
Disputed: 81,024 MustangSpecs 2011 guide MustangSpecs 2011 overview value; geographic market, cutoff, and inclusion rules are not stated. The value repeats the same site's 2010 figure and conflicts with its own 70,438 detailed table, suggesting a copied summary error.
Disputed: 69,901 Muscle Car Club Muscle Car Club reported 2011 Mustang production total; market, cutoff, and inclusion rules are not stated. The page provides no methodology or underlying ledger and conflicts with the other three values.
