Know from past experience from many of your posts that this is not long but would just like to know if it's a major issue or not.

ToddL Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 I must be in the same boat. Mine was built on 4/2, but has not been released for stripes as of yesterday. They did not say anything about a quality hold. The ETA was moved out a week to 4/28. Todd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07Shelby#6200 Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 The young lady at Ford did not give me an ETA but she did say that she has been hearing from people all day who were suppose to get their cars 3 weeks ago so I should be thankful? I told her if I called in 3 weeks from now I guess I will be unhappy too! I guess the rail cars are messing everyone up? Seems like everyone goes through this? How long before someone in management says "Houston, we have a problem!" LOL Either get the RR in gear or ship them by truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emmetcs@pu Posted April 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 Appreciate all the humor, but seriously, still no news from anyone on the reason for the 'Quality Hold' now in effect? Must be lots of GT 500s sitting around at the dock...10 days of hold and 50 cars per day = +/-500 GT500s waiting for good homes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APPLESREDGT500 Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 Your not very nice. Does this mean there are a bunch of spare parts available? I got dibbs on the engines! I was just on ebay and saw a 5.4S/C ENGINE STARTING BID $14,999, buy it now was 16,499. Still want to buy the engine?? For anyone wanting to make a clone they should just buy the real deal for that price!! As for the other parts from the wreck they will be available soon..... As for why still on hold , really I don't know, Grabber might be able to find out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraegar Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 Several major rail lines out of detroit run through the area where I live on their way to Chicago (through the rail yard in Osceola, IN). Looking up rail numbers a couple of times it's easy to see that the shelbys going west go over these lines. Recently we had two freight trains collide, several cars derailed. I actually went and drove by the accident just to make sure no shelbys were on the cars that were impacted. No shelbys were involved, but the plant where they make Humvees for the military is right here, too, and about 5 cars from the last one that derailed there was a whole bunch of them. 3 or 4 rail cars worth. - Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
