Gen 3 SHO Census - Part 2

new 2/10/03


We had another argument where the SHO are today, It has been about a year and a half since I did census from the Owners directory. We had 582 folks in the owners directory Nov 2001, now we have 760. A net gain of about 160 folks, given we also remove about 2 owners a month.

So who has the most Gen 3 SHOs?

Illinois 48
CAN 47
California 44
Ohio 43
Texas 43
Pennsylvania 41
Michigan 37
Florida 34
Massachusetts 30
Georgia 26
New York 26
Missouri 24
Virginia 24
Indiana 22
Minnesota 22
New Jersey 20
North Carolina 18
Oklahoma 16
Washington 16
Wisconsin 16
Tennessee 15
Kansas 13
Maryland 13
Kentucky 12
Arizona 11
Iowa 10
South Carolina 9
Oregon 7
Connecticut 6
Mississippi 6
Arkansas 5

Louisiana 5
Rhode Island 5
Alabama 4
Nebraska 4
New Hampshire 4

What does it look like by year?

Year  Count  Owners  Directory Ford Production
1996 177 23% 26%
1997 284 37% 51%
1998 152 20% 12%
1999 142 19% 11%

Compared to reported Ford production SHOs the 96 and 97 years are under represented on our Owners Directory. The 97 in particular by a wide margin. Some of this may be normal attrition but I also have to conclude much of this is related to cam failures. 

 

When folks want to put their car on the owners directory I started asking them what color their car is. We have Color information on 157 cars from the owners directory compared to 212 folk in the Color by year survey about a year ago. In theory these are different groups.

Color Count  Owners Directory Color  by Year
black 59 38% 31%
green 16 10% 12%
red 31 20% 23%
rose mist 5 3% 3%
silver 27 17% 23%
white 19 12% 8%
157 100% 100%

I am not sure what to conclude from the different samples. Still I guess the results are reasonably consistent.

Thanks

Buford
