Burning Blue Star IV Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 You're probably right about the ramp up of convertibles near the end of production, Torched10. Not sure how popular Red is yet. BTW: I had a major mishap this morning and deleted about 3 hours of work on the stickers for the convertibles...LOL! I don't know how I did that. So now I'm trying to get back all that I've lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torched10 Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 im not a computer guy,but i did a similar thing and used my compter reset function at the suggestion of friend to get my files back.I now auto-backup evry night all my files. bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burning Blue Star IV Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Yeah, I have been backing up my files as I go..but I was trying to do two things at one time and I guess I accidentally selected the pdf files to delete. oops! I'm up to 470 convertible stickers. I've got two more number variables to cycle through the "9's" and the "X's" before I am done. That's 120,000 more possible sticker combinations! So I will anticipate that the number of convertibles will come out around 600 as I figured before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burning Blue Star IV Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Just a random note....no big deal..but I just found it interesting while going through the window stickers. It appears that ford built one coupe and one convertible at the end of January. Then did not build another car til March. I guess just for shows. Also perhaps Michael Morris or someone else at Ford may be able to answer this question: 1. some of the stickers of cars built in April have the words "C Laskey Vehicle not for sale", what does that mean?

Blue,only a guess, but whne i ran a manufacturig plant we would pull a quality assurance sample once a month of each of our products,Then run it thru destructive testing (try to break it),and if it broke,take it apart anf find the "failing" part.My guess is these are QA samples.

You are probably right then. There's several cars with that name and there's also another name that I saw with the same "not for sale" comment. I believe it was "R Raymer". I'm almost done downloading the convertible stickers....very shortly. I'm going to start a new thread of my own with some initial production info. BTW I've got only 558 convertibles accounted for...so you're pretty rare if you have a 2010 GT500 convertible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they give you a VIN number? Not sure about a serial number. Might just be the dealer order number. The best you can do is to call Ford customer service for the status of your car. I don't know if they would be able to tell you anything if you just placed your order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised you got a VIN so quickly...did they have the car ordered already? If not...either they're pulling orders rapidly now or you just got extremely lucky. It usually took a minimum of 10 days to get an order pulled and assigned a VIN. Good for you though! :happy feet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good for you though! :happy feet: CALLED THE 1 800 FORD SVT AND GAVE THEM THE VIN NUMBER AND THEY ADVISED THAT THE CAR IS SCHEDULED TO BE BUILT WEEK OF OCT 26. YOU ARE CORRECT......I SIGNED THE DEAL ON OCT 9 AND AT MY REQUEST THE DEALER GAVE ME THE VIN NUMBER (I BELIEVE THE DEALER SAID SOMETHING TO THE EFFECT THAT THEY HAD ALREADY HAD THE CAR ON ORDER FOR ANOTHER CUSTOMER WHO HAD CANCELLED THE ORDER). IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE HOW MANY 2010 CONVERTIBLES WILL BE BUILT BY THE END OF THE 2010 MODEL RUN. DEALER ALSO SAID THEY ARE CUTTING SHORT THE 2010 MODEL SOON (END OF OCT EARLY NOV) AND THAT THEY WILL BE CONVERTING TO THE 2011 MODEL LATE FIRST QUARTER OF 2010 (NOT SURE HOW ACCURATE OR RELIABLE THAT INFO IS).
