Glenn Greenwell Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Wonder what the average wait time is from delivery by Ford to SAI and customer pick-up or notification ready to ship? GG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Boss Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Very cool! When I was there last year I thought it was fun to see the cars with both the 5.0 emblems and GT350 decals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeljgt500kr Posted January 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Wonder what the average wait time is from delivery by Ford to SAI and customer pick-up or notification ready to ship? GG As I was told, that is highly variable depending on how much stuff you have done. They told me 3-4 months, and maybe 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalSGT Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 The most important thing is to NOT set/create an ETA in your mind based on what you think the finish date might be. I can almost guarantee that you'll be incorrect and drive yourself crazy. Just be happy that it's in process and know that the phone will ring eventually. Otherwise you'll kill a lot of extra adult beverages (not that that's a bad thing) as you wait and wonder... John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shelbymotorsports Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 Wonder what the average wait time is from delivery by Ford to SAI and customer pick-up or notification ready to ship? GG To be fair, SAI does not have empty lifts waiting around on a delivery from Ford. When it comes to SAI build/delivery times the clock should start when your car hits the lift. And as mentioned that time frame all depends on which and how many options were chosen by the owner, parts supply, holiday's, etc. The SAI sales department will be glad to assist with any build timeframes, just give them a call. 702-942-7325 Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeljgt500kr Posted January 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 you car still has the 5.0 badge lol Sure does, and that doesn't look any better than the PBF things, but the proper ones will be in the trunk to be installed soon after delivery.... :happy feet: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Johnston Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 Mine took ten months to receive from time of order, including shipping. I took delivery on the very day production bagan on the next years model. Not worth the agonizing wait, but definitely worth the ride!

mikeljgt500kr Posted January 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 if you don't want the PBF badges I'll take them I already had you down for that 39, and since they are not distinctive or exclusive in any way, they will fit on any blue oval product, even maybe a '73 Maverick, like my first new car....

Sometime in the next 10 days the 67 GT350 badges will be going on so you'll get to see how they look I been waiting to see what SAI or Manny will be doing as when my car arrived it had a chip on the front bumper and auto shipped noted it and so far both parties are playing dumb like it wasn't there. Its not the kind of chip you get when driving as more looks like something was dropped on it so we'll see... I love fixing something that is brand new and comes this way, great care for the car thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJPat Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 Chip on the bumper? Not acceptable in any event, but I've got you beat. For laughs, try: 1. Car couldn't pass inspection (emissions) - failed twice 2. stalled when cold/stalled when hot 3. e-brake didn't work 4. torsen differential was making terrible sounds 5. exhaust pipes were hitting the rear axle and making a horrible racket whenever you go over a bump 6. white paint overspray all over the windshield i think i would have traded for the paint chip. LOL. best of luck with your efforts in sorting out your problem. Pat how's that for a punch list on delivery to beautiful NJ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moncho Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Congrats & keep us posted with as many pics as possible! I really do think owning a GT350 puts you in a very elite group, the process and amount made aligns pretty much with how these cars were produced back in the day.

NJPat Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 for what it's worth, Manny and Frankie (Speed Shop) are stand up guys - and they've help me quite a bit in sorting out the issues. as far as Main Production, I'd contact Gary Patterson (im actually waiting on an email from him on the exhaust issue). Gary has always been helpful too. eventually, it all gets worked out - but it is frustrating in the interim! Best Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyarnelli Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 Im sure Shelby American will take care of you, be patient it will all work out. They were great with my few issues on my car. I waited 13 months for my car to arrive and it had trash inside the car where somebody left their lunch in the car, I even found tools from the shop inside. They should work on their final inspections so these crazy things don't happen. Let us all know if your issues get resolved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
