07 Shelby Cobra Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 Hey Guys, are there any Canadians out there with VINs and or Build Dates yet? I'm supposed to receive in July, but so far no VIN or Build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jduffy Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 I'm being told by my Sales Guy that the first 2 of their 15 cars have been serialized. Since I'm #11 it will be a while for me. JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD I feel your pain, I'm #10 and with my luck it will be delivered mid-February in the middle of a snowstorm... if that happens I'll probably have it piggy-backed to my house with a cover on it so it doesn't get road salt all over it before I park it till spring. I got a note from my dealer confirming the 1/month delivery schedule, although they will get that verified from the factory when deliveries start at the end of June.

Smoothy, Something just doesn't sound right about that 1 a month thing to me. I'm hoping it's wrong but I'm preparing a covered trailer for the same situation you mentioned. I would think Ford would build every GT500 on order (since there already sold) before building anything else. JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smoothy Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 Here is a thread discussing the production rates for the cars from the guys that actually assemble them: http://www.stangsunleashed.com/forums/inde...?showtopic=1148 To sum it up, they can only make 6 Shelbys/hour and when you think how many dealerships are getting them (especially in the US where everyone gets at least 1 car) the 1/month scenario doesn't seem too far out. They can't do 100% Shelby on this production line either, as they also assemble all the other flavours of Mustangs as well as the Mazda 6. Ah well, if I have to wait, I have to wait, still kinda sucky though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually live in Stittsville, although I work in Kanata- makes it easy to get to the Sens games and quick to get home after too. Im buying from Campbell Ford (Carling and the Queensway) nice folks there and the only SVT dealership in a good distance (have to go to T.O or Montreal for the next-closest) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smoothy Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 What are you ordering??? Are you a long timer in Ottawa??? KingCobra. Moved up here in '88 to go to Carleton, just kinda hung around since then What pushed you out west, work? I'm ordering a vista blue w/ white coupe, when I gave my choice to the dealer, I was the only one to that point to pick that combo, so I might end up being a one-of-a-kind in town :bandance: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaylan1521 Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 Would the DORA have a build date on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobra2go Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 No it doesn't - just dealer info, priority, order date and type, Flat Rock assembly, VIN, and the order codes. the only reference to buid date is 'SCHD TBD' as of May 17/06. hmm, at the very bottom it says there is a 2 U.S gallon fuel charge ... just enough to get it started and to the dealer, eh?

johnnyvax Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 Hi Smoothy, I am also in Stittsville, and co-incidentally also number 10 on Campbells list? Did they punch the date and timestamp on your vehicle purchase agreement from their punchclock when they took your deposit? I was also told at the time of my deposit that they were expecting an allotment of 12 GT500's but were trying to get that number increased. (I still haven't figured out how to move my map marker on the Frappr map yet!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I still haven't figured out how to move my map marker on the Frappr map yet!) hrmph i guess they have some explaining to do. Sorry I don't have my purchase agreement with me (I'm at work) so I can't tell you the time/date on it. I'll call my salesperson and ask her if she can confirm my place# and purchase date. EDIT: Just talked with Andy the sales manager, I'm #9 on the list, he has some meetings coming up to confirm delivery schedules so he didn't want to lead anyone down the garden path by moving from the last word he had which was 1/month. He will let all of us prospectives know when he gets the formal delivery schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyvax Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 Mine is stamped April 5, at 20:00 something... I am pretty confident that they will make their customer comittments as far as units go, at least for those that they took deposits from. Have you heard anything from your sales guy on pricing? This is the bit that leaves me less than confident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
