hunters1 Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 Check out article at StangTV about GT350 and Rs sitting out in the elements since Aug. Awaiting factory stripes to be added? Really. Kind of taints any desire to place an order for a new car that has been treated this way, let alone the ADMs dealers are asking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Canfield Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 We put up with the same thign 13 years ago with the Mach 1s sitting out in the weather at DAP. To this day, no one has ever given us a reason for the delivery delays back then, an dmost still paid ADMs. It's happened before, it'll happen again.

shel-b001 Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 It happened in `06 with the G.T 500 `s they were lined up to be striped so they were delayed by a couple of weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buster Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 Good Clay Bar job is in order there. Those things really work well. My '03 Terminator had been out in the elements for 18 months. The clear on the roof, hood and trunk felt like about 600 grit and paper. Clay Bar solved that issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Canfield Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 That was the first thing I did when my Mach 1 hit. Some people thought I was nuts (which I very well may be) but you oculd feel the roughness due to the fallout from the holding area and railyard time. It was a huge difference!

Larry T Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 Just a shame that the stealerships and Ford treat awesome cars this way and ask ADMs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Johnston Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 Ford and customers believe that stripes make the cars go faster and win races! Maybe this is part of the cold weather storage test. Or maybe the stripes come off or bubble up in cold weather so the cars have to wait out the season! Whatever the reason, any explanation (i.e., excuse) is unacceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITHERTZ66 Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 I doubt they clay bar them prior to installing stripes - LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DubbsFaris Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 It wasn't a stripe issue....lol It's been shared on facebook now by more connected people than me- so here it is: The R race cars were experiencing motor mount failures. The mothership decided to hold the 350s- all of them- and address the problem rather than recall them after shipping. I'm quoting McPherson on FB. So don't get mad at me Ford!
