I ask the dealeership to call and put a hot rush on the car. Don't know if they will or not. I got mine the next day. If the dealer calls the trucker and requests a delivery, you have a good chance of getting it. If he does not call, it could be 2-3 more days.

Grabber Posted July 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 its going to take a while to get through ye olde mountains. Yes it is. I noticed that they have not changed the ETA as of yet. I will have visability to the railcar status once it lands in Kent, WA. I will be able to see what time these 2 cars get pulled off the rail car and staged in the parking lot waiting for the trucker.

Rob, I actually went down there today and was able to talk with the guys that unload the cars. They had a Kona Blue GT500 parked that I could look at. Looks pretty clean, not to much dirt. They said that they will be unloading the cars at 7am Monday and I could come down and take pics if I wanted. I have a dental appt at 9:30 and I don't know how long it would take, so will see. The guy I talked to was going to talk to the transport company upsairs and see what the schedule is for the delivery. He said the car should be at the dealer by Tuesday or Wednesday. Hopefully they can get it there by Monday since its so close. The train might be in Kent by Satudrday but still won't be unloaded until Monday morning. Its sure was nice of them to take me out to the lot and let me look at the Shelby in person, VIP treatment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
