Then that got changed to the 27th. Now it's been moved back to October 4th. Imagine that......... How many have been down this road? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then that got changed to the 27th. Now it's been moved back to October 4th. Imagine that......... How many have been down this road? All of us, so some extent! Mine original date was July 12th...they didn't get it striped prior to the July 4th (2 week) hiatus so it sat on a lot for 14 days. My "to dealer" date changed four times. My car was built June 27th, delivered August 5th. Strap in, it's a hell of a ride. bj Well....check it out....I've become an "enthusiast"! I'll be darned.

I'm sure you are all tired of hearing me complain, but mine was built on August 4th and scheduled to be delivered on August 17th. I talked to Ralph Arning the day after Labor Day, and he told me that the car had already been through the clutch inspection and had been sent to the shipping yard. That suggests to me that it was sent to the shipping yard no later than the end of the week before Labor Day - almost 3 weeks ago. My dealer is about 3 hours from the plant, and my Shelby still isn't here. I hope you guys all get your cars faster than this, because the wait is killing me. :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, if you're looking for some 'pattern' as I would be, there isn't one. 'Your results may vary' as they say. My car was built the same day as BJ's, and sat at the striping facility just like BJ's. Mine was delivered to VA on 21 July, two weeks ahead of BJ. Doesn't sound like much difference, I'm sure. But ask BJ how much fun it was to wait 1,209,600 extra seconds for his car. Go on, ask him. Our ordeals are over. But I feel for the folks still 'in process', no matter where they are. Faith.

07 GT500 Posted September 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 I can't wait to see what Ralph can tell me today. My car is built, striped, ready to go,,,,,,or so I've been told. I don't know why it's being held now. Maybe they're waiting til they get a boat load, railcar load, or something. I'll be in San Diego the first week in October, so maybe it'll show up here while I'm gone. That would suck, but not nearly as bad as having it show up just in time for Thanksgiving, or Christmas. Update: Ralph Arning said that the car has been released to the shipping department, as of Sept. 18th., and should take about 14 days. The car's ETA is still October 4th. Time will tell, correct?

Congrats on car to shipping. My GO convert was built mid august with delivery date of late august. Here it is late september and car is still not released from plant. When I called the number for plant was told no personal calls to Ralph! The dealer made call yesterday to plant and said although there are some cars being released a big number are being held back. They would not tell him reason why. just "what answer do you want to hear" they have been saying car will be released in a few days since mid august. The delivery date has past many a time already. Think when car shows up I will tell them tomorrow for pickup for a few months to see how they like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
