diamondback Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Am I Imagining things? Because I have seached this forum and have found no one commenting about the 2008 GT500 Convertible Red Package Posted on the SVT web site? Does anyone at all have some information about this? Is this true? Is this a limited run? What are the details? http://www.svt.ford.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DubbsFaris Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Yeah, I have brought that up, and was really happy to have ordered it... My real problem is that I have ordered a car without even so much as seeing a picture!! But I will have mine in a week, and you will get pics!!! I promise! Okay- details- There will be 600 total. This year it is vertes only- no coupes It comes with Red stripes over the top- only verte with factory striping on hood and trunk. White or black base color just like last year... red emblems premium interior package red/black interior car cover red cobra on floor mats I think that is all...here is the actual info sheet though...

diamondback Posted December 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 hey thanks a lot you gave me all the info and more! Much appreciated!

DubbsFaris Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 that forum NEW PACKAGING FOR 08 was posted 4 days or so before i order mine in oct. so i change my car color to black. did you get a delivery date yet? Im on pins and needles waiting on mine....they are saying right around xmas...give or take a day or two... Oh, and my dealer DID in fact tell me. I ordered black with white stripes, and when I went into dealer to sign off on the options, my sales guy showed me the announcement that I just gave you earlier.

jkru911 Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 did you get a delivery date yet? Im on pins and needles waiting on mine....they are saying right around xmas...give or take a day or two... my dealer told me it should be in alaska in january. he also said thatthe plants shut down the last 2 weeks of the year for a two week paid holiday so i guess if the car has not been shipped yet it is going to sit there for 2 weeks.

DubbsFaris Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 JKRU911- Did you receive a VIN number yet? Im thinkin back, and you and I were same build week I thought. I remember thinkin yours was right ahead of mine in order of production, but that because of location I would get it first. Mine is on a train, or maybe even here already, I know my other one is supposed to be at Michael Morris' dealership today in Georgia, and then he is having some fluff mods done, and shipping it to me, but they are both produced and near destination or at. The plant shuts down the week of the 24th through the 2nd according to another post on this site, but you should be past that delay. Please let us know when you hear something! I really want whoever gets theirs first to post alot of pics!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamondback Posted December 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 my VIN is 1zht89s785158022 I ordered a Vista Blue convertible and plan on getting the stripes painted on. I paid 5k over and it was worth it since i got to order it. I am just glad I ordered mine when I did because with movies and night rider this car is going to be put into world wide icon status and prices are going to fly!

diamondback Posted December 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 arrgh... I cant stand this waiting game! This is got to be affecting my health negatively! I don't think I will ever order another car again, I can't take it! One valuable thing I have learned during this adventure is that I will never build a house! I would definately die or wind up in the nut house from doing so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
