weluv2fish4bass Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 Curious on how many they are slated to build and how many have been ordered. this is a very good question because I havent been able to get an answer either............

sportscars Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 Michael Morris has sold at least 15 alone. That is just one dealer, albit one that a lot uf us will probably use. If I remember correctly it was going to be capped at about 2000 for a two year run (2011 & 2012). I think first year was capped at 500. I dont think they will build 500, but I think they are selling fairly well. And once people start seeing them in person I think they will really start to sell then. The difference in pictures and in person is night and day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pony88 Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 i sold car #25 and havent gotten an update from shelby yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DubbsFaris Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 Pony88, none of the cars are at Shelby yet, so nothing they can update us on....but soon. If you sold it, try pulling up the build and see if it has a railcars yet. The answer to the first original question is, I heard they have deposits for at least 100 already. But I don't know if those people are sitting on their allocation, or if they went ahead and ordered a base gt to convert. I could be wrong on what I heard though, it wouldn't be the first time.

Michael Morris Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 Warren Talked to Roger this weekend and were pretty sure yours will be the first car on the ground!

dh777 Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 It would probably be even better if he just kept it for, oh.... let's say..... 3 months. Just to make sure there are no problems with the first one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT500_Grad Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 As of Monday, SAI told me that there will be 2,400 made over 2 years. I wouldn't be surprised it that gets extended, esp. once people start seeing them. Who knows it's happened in the past. As long as they keep making them till the point I can get one, I'm not complaining. As for how many are sold so far, they couldn't tell me. He's didn't know.

RogerS Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 Maximum of 2200 over a 2 year period on the build. Over 100 now in the order bank, some at the holding yard, some in transit and several already on the ground. Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger stated that the base car for CSM #289 had arrived. When picking a CSM #, you did not have to take the # sequentially. I think 289 was a cool CSM to pick.

Roger WOW...and I thought 289 cars was a low amount and now come to find out theres barely 100 sold... :unsure: I thought demand would have picked up by now. I just hope Shelby has a plan on how to sell the remaining 2100 cars......Im just concerned thats all, specially after Mr. Luft made this comment... "At this time, we don’t have a new product on the drawing board. We have focused all of our design and engineering efforts toward the development and launch of the GT350."

That 2,100 figure is for all GT350s. Read the Luft article again and you'll find an interesting thing or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DubbsFaris Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 I expect there to be huge surge in orders when people see this car perform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerS Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 I think you are correct. Now that vehicles are arriving on site, they are beginning to attract a great deal of attention from the camera carrying public. It is quite a sight when the haulers roll in full of Performance White 5.0's! Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Morris Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 Both time the car has been featured the phones have started up again. First time was BJ. The next few days the phone was crazy!!! Then after the race in Vegas the phones went again!! I think the same thing will happen when SA starts building them and they get on the road MM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger considering the question and the answer given, you can understand the confusion with us thinking it was stated that 289 cars were ordered. Amy had posted the deposits were in excess of 200 weeks prior to that. Only 100 deposits, that must be disappointing considering the weight of the topic.....and the months that have passed since it was "revealed". Maybe a more reasonable package in the 10-12k range would have had more "mass" appeal........... imo that package would have scooped up more of the money out there.......but what do I know!~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerS Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 Thanks for your feedback but a $10-$12,000 is not in the works. "Well over 100" could mean 500. Many factors here you are not aware of. Tough to get real totals as deposts, cars ordered, in build, in the order bank are not one in the same. We have cars arriving with no orders and following up with dealers daily.

To understand then value of the GT 350, think of it more like a Super Snake package. Needless to say, I am glad I am in the que and I can't effin' wait until it's ready!

Congrats for being in the que Mike, I hope it all comes thru for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
