ice-capades Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 September 2, 2010 To:All Ford DealersSubject:EFC0202316DC 2012 Boss Mustang Allocation StrategyThe New Boss 302 is back after a 40 year hiatus. This no-nonsense enthusiast track car is built for the street with the race track as its lab. The 2012 Mustang Boss 302 is set to become the best-handling Mustang ever offered by Ford. This purpose built vehicle is available in two trims for a limited run --Boss 302 & Boss 302 "Laguna Seca" package featuring a 440 HP Hi-Po 302 V8 Engine. Methods for Earning Allocation All Ford dealers will have the opportunity to earn a 2012 Boss 302 Mustang. There are two methods for earningx allocation: 1) Share of Nation Approximately 75% of the 2012 Boss 302 production will be allocated to the Ford dealers as a Share of Nation Those dealers that sell 75% of the retail Mustangs will participate in the Share of Nation allocation (retail Mustang sales % of Nation) -- through July, this is the Top 794 Mustang dealers 12 months of sales (October '09 - September '10) will be used to determine dealers participating in the Share of Nation. A dealers opportunity to increase share of nation allocation or inclusion in the Top 75% is increased with each Mustang sold through the end of September Each of the dealers participating in the Share of Nation is guaranteed at least one Boss 302 2) Lottery Those Ford dealers not participating in the Share of Nation will be entered into a Lottery for the balance of the allocation Each dealership participating in the Lottery will receive one chip (entry into the lottery) for being a dealer and one chip for each retail sale over the 12-month period (October '09 - September '10) Those dealers with ZERO Mustang sales over the last 12-month period will each receive one chip in the lottery No dealer will earn more then one Boss 302 through the lottery Note: The Laguna Seca Package will be allocated by a second lottery for all dealers earning a Boss 302 through Share of Nation or Lottery. To help manager customer expectations for ordering the 2012 Boss 302 Mustang, all 2011 MY dealer production guides will be communicated in early October. Dealers will be given their full year guide numbers along with the quarter(s) their unit(s) will be scheduled. This will enable dealers to manage customer expectations regarding availability and timing. Production is scheduled to begin in late January and will conclude in December 2011. Since it's unveiling on August 13th, the 2012 Boss Mustang has created a tremendous amount of excitement amongst our dealers and customers. It is our hope that this allocation strategy will support your efforts in providing customers with a clear understanding of this new and exciting best in class product.

ice-capades Posted September 8, 2010 Author Share Posted September 8, 2010 Has there been any word on how many of these Ford plans to build? There's been no official word yet on production numbers for the 2012 Mustang Boss 302 but based on what we've heard so far I expect the production numbers to be about the same as the GT500 or about 5,000 units.

traxiii Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 There's been no official word yet on production numbers for the 2012 Mustang Boss 302 but based on what we've heard so far I expect the production numbers to be about the same as the GT500 or about 5,000 units. From what I can find out there, Ford has approximately 3700 Dealers in the U.S. Not all dealers will get a BOSS, though after reading that release it looks like some high volume Mustang selling dealers might get more than one. Sounds to me like it might be less than 5000 "regular" BOSS 302's and way fewer Laguna Seca BOSS models. They might only make enough Laguna Seca models to homologate them for racing, somewhere between 50 and 200? I'm just hoping they offer the engine and suspension goodies as an option in the near future, because most people wanting a BOSS 302 will not be able to buy one. I don't need the graphics but would love the performance parts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't need the graphics but would love the performance parts! Word is that 350 Boss' will be available in Canada, that should translate to 3500 in the US. Production for the LS is rumored to be 375/year for two years. Assuming the above is correct, the top 794 Mustang dealers will get _on average_ 3 cars each. High volume sellers get more, but all of the 794 will get at least one car. The LS' will only be available to dealers who get regular Boss', LS allocation will be by lottery, with about 1 car to every 4 dealers _on average_.
