greensalesco Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 I was told today that my car has been built. It shows delivery on the 19th of April. Is there a reason for 3 weeks delivery or am I just too excited to wait?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdwaterHotrod Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 go to this link for more info, http://forum.teamshelby.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=3419 See my signature below. Mine took 4 weeks & it was only 90 to 100 miles away from the plant. If shipped by rail car in could be 2 months. 3 weeks sounds very reasonable to me.

SLB8SNK Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 I agree with Coldy.... I lived 20 miles from the plant, picked my car up 200 miles north of my home, and it still took a couple weeks from build to pickup! Good luck.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scgt5c Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 My '07 was off the line on 9/22/06 and I didn't get delivery until 12/04/06. It took a few weeks for the stripes and Ford kept it on their testing circuit for 55 miles of testing for another 6 weeks and 2 weeks to Calif. My '08 was off the line on 2/21/08 and I received it on 3/27/08. One week for stripes, one week of staging and 1-1/2 weeks in transit to Calif another 3 days to dealership. It's worth the wait. Once you receive the car you'll forget all about the waiting. Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frydguy79 Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 i have had them sit for 3-9 weeks after production before shipping and then take a couple extra on shipping and i have had some fly right thru Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greensalesco Posted April 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Hopefully, mine will fly right through. The funny thing is, the dealer I ordered from was allocated(SP) 3. Mine went 1st then bigdrawz, and then the last guy. Well the guy that ordered last, his shows a build date of April 14 being delivered on the 17th. I would assume the dates are screwed up somewhere.

Bruce I am the last guy.......Bob sent me the VIN yesterday and gave me the production date of the 14th but he said that he does not have a delivery day yet. How did you come up with the 17th ? I only added Sirius and the premium trim.....that might have something to do with it, dunno. I saw the window sticker this morning and it is being shipped by convoy. Truck I'm assuming. I believe that they can only put 2 GT500's on the truck so this may slow delivery down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that's the date he gave me. That was early in the morning so maybe something had already changed. How did you get to see the window sticker? I've tried myself to get info but alway end up with a person on the phone and they don't seem to help much. Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the last post on page 2 of that topic and includes a link to blue oval forums. Registered last night and provided my VIN in a thread and the gentleman responded this morning with all of the dates and provided my window sticker in a PDF file. Pretty Cool!!

rheller Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 I ordered my 2008 in February of 2007. It was built the first week of January and delivered the first week of February 2008. How's that for patience? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
