RogerS Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 It's been awhile since we brought this topic up and it is sensitive for some I know.........but I thought I would just put it up again and see if there is progress here. This it not a BMW session just looking to see how everyone is doing. Are you still waiting for your car? Is it in the Mod Shop? What are you having done? When do you expect delivery?

This it not a BMW session just looking to see how everyone is doing. Are you still waiting for your car? Is it in the Mod Shop? What are you having done? When do you expect delivery? Roger, I did some digging and found these names that are still waiting, the list is still pretty long. I don't know if some of these people have gotten delivery or not. Rossgt(yourself) BZM, Colorado ShelbyGT, Shelbyguy, Sodakmac, Emperor of Chicken, ShelbyDream1, Mickey Mustang, RogerRamJet, Cobrawertz and Clink(he's waiting on the MAD shop)LMAO I'm sure there's others. Maybe some of these people will pipe in and let us know. Sounds like Cobrawertz will be real soon. Hopefully I didn't piss anybody off by putting there names here. This is a good list to be on??? Well, sort of. It will be worth the wait, even if it is agonizing. :blink: Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerRamjet Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 I'm one of the guys on the above-noted name list, RogerRamjet. My car was built by Ford in March, arrived at Shelby in mid-April. In early May, John W & I chatted on the phone to finalize the Mod Shop order which includes: Polished S/C, Gauge Pack, Sequentials, and Engine Dressup Kit. John emailed me 6/21 that the car has been converted and is in line for the Mod Shop work, with a "few cars in front of yours." July & August have gone by with no further word, though I've emailed once on 7/29. I don't want to be a pest, though it would certainly be helpful to know something about timing. Sadly, last week for no particular reason other than my age (57) I incurred a detached retina. The repair operation was successful but during the next few months while my vision is rebuilding I cannot go over 2,000 feet elevation, which leaves out flying to Las Vegas to pick up the car. My wife & son might be able to go, so that's almost as good. My son & I completely restored my 1-owner '67 GT500 a few years ago (paint booth 2002 pic attached) and so he's got a real serious Shelby connection going on. If that doesn't work, then it's not the worst thing to have the car delivered to our home here on the WA coast, assuming they still do that. I can visit SAI (again) on another trip, maybe even in the new SGT. Really, just knowing our position on the list would be most of what we need, I think. If it were updated every so often, we'd be able to estimate our own timing for the trip. Roger Ramjet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been communicating with Bud recently and he has been very responsive. (Thank you Bud!) Right now he is saying I will be in the mod shop on or before September 17th.

RogerS Posted September 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 It looks like the delivery dates are pretty close together on most of these cars. Just waiting a turn in the shop. Dave, Rick, cobrawertz does have confirmation it will ship next week. One down and a few more to go. I know that when I was there the list was well into 2 pages. My location was somwhere near the top 1/3 rd. just looking. But parts avalibility and the actual mods would play a part in timing. John and Bud were working to move some guys over to do some of the light mods to help them out and get more cars out of the shop and delivered. I have said, and still think, they were overwhelmed with the positive response to the Mod Shop. I was fortunate enough to drive Adam's car with the Whipple and he has offered to let me take it to ease the seperation anxitey I've had since I drove the car in Vegas. Thanks Adam. I did speak with Bud Monday of this week and was told, your getting closer and I have ordered the parts I need. That's a good sign that I may have the car by the end of the month. Here's hoping.

RogerS Posted September 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 Ramjet, sorry to hear about the retina :huh: Love the father son project, did one with my eldest son also. Memories for a lifetime. Clink, Colorado, Emperor I hope you all get your cars soon. I don't know if you have been to SAI, some say it helps but from experience it does make it worse. I was able to drive the car and that was very cool but after a couple of weeks it begins to start all over again. After driving Adam's car it will be worth it. That has been keeping my emotions in check. We should have a September delivery celebriation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerS Posted September 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 Oh almost forgot. If you orderd the Whipple SC's they are only built to order and take between 7-14 days for delivery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geez Roger, why are you cheaping out? Couldn't you add a few more things to that mod list? Like an extra motor? While you're at it why don't you just order another car? LMAO J/K.That's what is nice about these cars, you can make a one-off custom. So then after you take delivery does it go into the Tasca mod shop for six months? At that rate you will be lucky to see your car by next summer. I'm calling your wife to tell her to tell you to quit looking at car magazines and auto part web-sites and making the wish list longer. Good luck, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is true that the beauty is to make your car unique in it finished state. No Tasca mod shop for this baby. I will be doing the rest of the work on the car except for the tune. It will make for a very busy winter. Maybe I won't notice the 3 feet of snow out by the garage door! :blink: And whatever you do, don't call the wife, she still thinks that it cost $38,000! :o Belive it or not I have had the mods planned since day 1. Don't need any magazines to cloud my mind. If I did that then I would have to remove the motor :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoDakMac Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 rpssqt - I am one of those on the “waiting” list. I talked to John W. about two weeks ago and he indicated that they had about forty 07 cars (I believe that is what he said) waiting for the Mod Shop. However, he figured that some cars like mine who were getting minor modifications (lower grill/driving lights, sequential taillights) wouldn’t take as much time/effort and should be finished in about two weeks. So far I have not heard any news. I am hoping that I see the car by the end of September. I have seen several cars (one black and one white) nearby that are available but I am hanging in there for the car I ordered the way I wanted it (or could get by my ‘bookkeeper’ at the present time). If I was going to get all the mods you listed I am afraid my ‘bookkeeper’ would suggest that I sell one of my other cars and redirect the funds. Actually, it may come to that sometime down the road.

ShelbyGT/SC Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Mines not that dumb, she pays all the bills! LOL, that's where I luck out. I pay all the bills. But, I was going through them in the last 2 days and coincidentially I left some open (paper and websites). She saw some of my extra things from my Vegas trip. Nothing bad as I am a faithful kind of guy, she was just wondering why some of my meals were so expensive. LOL. I wouldn't let any of my SAI friends pay. I'm just glad my wife didn't go back one month's AMEX bill. She would have seen the mod shop bill. I'd be living in the workshop right about now. Or even worse, I'd be out shopping for a new diamond ring, redoing the kitchen or trading in her minivan for a Mercedes. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok again I'll chime in here. If everything you said is true it is appalling! I mean how can a company compete in today's world when they have service like this. I'll tell you how: it is because of the past, bottom line. If Mr. Shelby had NOT had his past Mustang marvels he would be put out of business by Fomoco immediately, if not sooner, with his current business practices. I will also add that if he continues this torid pace of non-commitments and ruining Fords "customer first" policy he and Fomoco will no longer be partners. Mark my words he does not have much time left, Fomoco will ax him if he keeps this up. My 2 cents is all. B) PS: I must say it will a be a sorry day when/if it happens!

I do know they are very busy, but even just a little e-mail to let you know what's going on would help. E-mail me on my personal e-mail, it's in my profile. Tried to pm and can't get it to go.

My dealer called this morning and said the car might be in town either late today or sometime on Thursday. The car was supposed to be delivered to another dealer about 200 miles from here but the trucker said he would bring it directly to my local dealer instead, which will make things much less complicated. I was worried one of those other guys cleaning up the car would toss window sticker, drill holes in the front bumper and pop the hood with the pins in place. The local Ford guys know how anal I am about my cars. Hopefully, I will get a chance to take some photos of it being unloaded. Yes, there is a Shelby god afterall.
