WJinLV Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Blue-Red & Red-Blue combinations are always on the fringe. There's barely 20 Red on DIB cars and only one configured that way. It's very uncommon to find the Shaker Pro left-out after loading up everything else, only about 30 or so cars altogether. Maddy, do you know how many Perf White with Sonic Blue stripes and 821a pkg are in the works? Waiting and hoping... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madlock Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Stripping out exports, mules, and orders marked exclusively for retail buyers, about 70 or so like cars have been made. But if you want ONLY the 821A package, there are just 2 (4 if you don't mind the car cover). 3 are in the Northeast and 1 in CA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I am a retail buyer, arent I? Anyway, hopefully soon there will be one heading to AZ or NV. Thanks for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJinLV Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Galpin Ford in Prescott AZ is getting one and likely selling at MSRP. Ask for Brian or Tommy the sales mgr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madlock Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Bound to be plenty as their last '13 allocations arrive in the dead of winter with '14s inbound so soon on their heels. The trick will be finding one people want, especially loaded or bareboned ones that were already rare to begin with and all but nonexistent so far during build-out.

Snoopy49 Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Madlock, I heard yesterday that the 2014 GT500's are not scheduled for delivery until Apr, what have you heard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svtkeith Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Well, since Ford Econiline vans are oxford white, I want no part of it. Hope I dont have to change my color choice if I cant get a 13 and have to wait for a 14. Always liked the white w blue stripe combo. I don't blame you Wayne..why in hell would they go put the same white on a car like the the GT500 as the Eco vans..it's just cheaping out IMO.

Snoopy49 Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 I was told that production wouldn't start until late Mar do to the low temperatures. Evidently the Goodyear tires don't like freezing temperatures and will crack if exposed to low temperatures for prolonged periods of time. Ford doesn't have the facilities required to store the GT500's in a protected environment until they can be shipped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJinLV Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Was just told the same thing by my local SVT dealer...build date starting in Febuary and at the dealers by Apr. I called my dealer to see if I could cancel the 2013 in favor of a 14, but my vin was already available. Not planning on selling it anytime, but if youre buying new, you would likely want as new as possible. Either way, Im pleased to get one. I hope there is an aftermarket radiator and HE protective mesh soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snoops, you are right, but Ive had a car on order since July, been waiting this long. If I cancel and then ask the dealer for a 2014 slot, Im not sure It would be met favorably.

Snoopy49 Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 I hear you, I am in the same situation. I have been waiting since May and would like to walk away from my 2013 and order a 2014, but I don't want to wait until at least Apr of next year. Apr is a best case scenario, realistically. it would probably be July or later depending on your dealers standing with Ford and the local Rep.

Im just glad there is no sig difference between the 13 and 14 models, unlike the 12 vs 13 GT500s. I guess wanting to give a dealer $60k+ puts you low on their totem pole. One of the issues here is when Shelby America needs to build a SuperSnake, they go through my dealer to get the base GT500. I think that keeps other buyers low on the list.

Snoopy49 Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Maybe you can use the availability of the 14 as leverage and get your dealer to give you a better deal on your car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the Goodyears don't like the cold tracktion wise but cracking because it's cold..I have a hard time believeing that one..besides where they're being built there ain't much diff in temp from late Feb to early Mar anyway.

I know... not saying you made it up Snoop just don't believe the M of Ford Corporate...some of these cars are stored up in Alberta in none heated garages where it gets down to -30 to -40 in the winter..like I say I wouldn't want to go ripping down the roads on a cold day in the winter with them because youd end up in the ditch but I dought they would crack.

Fat Boss Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 2014 Shelby GT500 allocations are being issued to dealers starting last week. Production starts at Flat Rock in March and fisrt deliveries will arrive in April... Is that supposed to pass for informative? Good work as always Jim! FWIW I bought my 302 at Drew Ford in La Mesa CA and they never sell with an ADM. Pretty big dealership that got 8 allocations for 2012 Bosses. Talk to Rick Garrett in Internet Sales. Fly in and drive out is what I did. About 500 miles later I had 'er home. Ahhhhhhh great memories from these... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You got the same answer I did when I called them about 2-3 weeks ago. In fact, they still acted like they would be charging ADM on a '12 if they had one. Told them I had gotten my '12 for below invoice and the phone went silent. Good luck with your search. I would probably still use them for service also. Seems like good guys in the service dept.
