Green Pants Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 It is for sale. MSRP It is about 70 miles north of Santa Barbara, Calif. Sterling Gray w/black OTT, SVTPP, Nav, Shaker 1000Pro & Car Cover. Hey Snoopy I just wanted to say thanks for posting this. I drove up yesterday from LA and bought her. I couldn't wait any longer for ford to get around to building mine (ordered mine 5/3). I really enjoyed dealing with Harry and Muhalley Ford. Completely different experience than these LA dealerships. Thanks again and good luck with your order! Korey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2010KonaBlueGT Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 I just wanted to say thanks for posting this. I drove up yesterday from LA and bought her. I'm curious. Snoopy said the car was located 70 mi. north of SB. Santa Maria is farther than that....Goleta maybe? I can't think of a dealership 70 mi. N of SB...Unless Goleta has a dealership, or Santa Maria is a lot closer to SB than I remember. Where was it? Phill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snoopy49 Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Mullahey Ford in Arroyo Grande, CA Here is the post with the contact information. Green Pants, Congratulation on the purchase, it is a really nice car if it had been white I would have bought it. I am glad to see one of the members of Team Shelby was able to take advantage of the offer. Harry is one of the good guys and very easy to deal with, now all I have to do is wait for mine.

My sister lived in AG for awhile too, my neice moved from AG to Nipomo just before she moved out here to CO. It must'a grown because there sure wasn't a Ford dealer there about 10 years ago! Hell, I don't think there was ROOM for a Ford dealer there 10 years ago! But there's some GREAT bars down along the beach to party at!

Phill I was in and out pretty quick, so I didn't get a chance to drive around the area, but the drive along the coast is incredible. I wouldn't mind living up there. The dealership itself was small and there was a Chevy dealership right across the street. The service there is far better than the larger dealerships near me. Just wish it wasn't 180 miles away.

Mr. Haney Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 Definitely didn't mean to imply you had. I was simply making an observation to save prospective buyers the trouble of dealing with someone unable/unwilling to negotiate seriously. Where are you located, Mr Haney? I had a conversation with my salesman (David at Chapel Hills) regarding a possible out-of-state buyer for their blue one, and I'm beginning to sense some deja vu... Norton, I'm in VA, 25 miles from downtown Washington DC. Robert was going to try to see if they could get an extra allocation for me to order one, otherwise they are sold out for the year at the Motor City dealership. On a better note, I found a Candy Red one equipped the way I want it at MSRP and put a deposit on it today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Haney Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 Congratulations! Thank You. Candy Red, Stripe Delete with every option, but the glass roof. I'm hoping to fly out to pick her up by the end of next week. I'll have an 1100 mile ride home to break her in and have fun at the same time.

(Hopefully this week) I will do that....planning giving my dealer a camera to take pics of the car coming off the truck. Sometimes it comes in after hours so I hope my luck holds out that it comes in during business hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palacekeeper Posted July 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 ELEVEN WEEKS, STILL UNSCHEDULED. This really sucks :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tikigrill Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 13 weeks and counting for me... Dealer says it "may" be scheduled next month. So probably still two months away from taking delivery. I definitely was not prepared for 6 months wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy49 Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 What really ticks me off is all the dealers that have one or more of these cars on their lots. Most of them are highly optioned and have ADM's. The problem is not only the slow rate of production but the priority assigned the the orders. It was my understanding when I ordered my car that sold cars like mine took priority over stock orders for dealer lots. Evidently my understanding was flawed. When I did a search of all 2013 GT500's within 500 miles, I came across dealers that had four or five cars in their inventories. Customer first doesn't appear to be a priority with Ford.

165MPHGT500 Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Mine shipped by rail over the WE and is now in Kirby, TX (East SA). Just a couple of more days I hope . . . Two hour drive for me to dealer in the 08 Shelby (my trade-in). Ya think I might lean into her a bit one last time to get there a little quicker?

palacekeeper Posted August 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Well, BIG news for me today! I did my weekly call today and after 14 weeks, I have finally have a build week. Mine is supposed to be built the week of 9/24. They said the actual build date will be determined when it gets closer to the build week. Next step is to get the VIN number, so I asked my salesman to get that for me - waiting for him to get back to me. SVT would not give me the VIN number over the phone, and said that the dealer needs to get it for me. I guess that is normal procedure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
