Congrats on your vin!!!

My dealer called 2/27 and informed me that FMC had pulled the order, I suppose this was reciept date.

I stopped by dealer yesterday, he ran a status report. I am now seriallized.
He gave me a copy of status showing Vin, color code, and several other #s that I am still trying to decode. But as long as it is the fastest color and coming soon I am OKAAAAY. Ya hoooo!

Hey Guys,
Good to hear that people are getting their cars. Is anyone being gouged on the price? I am supposed to get mine next week and have to pay above sticker. Anyone else?

I think nearly everyone on this site paid over...not all, but most.

Canada#7 Shelby,

I see you are a local.

Which dealership did you get yours at?

Cam Clark, Advantage or Metro?

All 3 of these dealerships were going to charge me huge mark ups, so I'm getting mine from a New Brunswick dealership at MSRP. It may cost me a couple grand to have the car shipped to Calgary, but I wasn't about to hand over $25K for 1) the priviledge of bumping someone off the wait list and 2) to fatten up their already bulging wallets.

Yes, you read it correctly, 1 of these dealerships (which will remain nameless - you have a 1 in 3 choice to figure out which one) would have bumped someone off their already extensive list and moved me to the top of the list, if I gave them $25K over sticker. That's just not right!

Why don't you PM me and we can exchange information?

Good news here also. I just got off the phone with the dealer ans they gave me the VIN. It is still sitting in a rail yard waiting to be shipped to me, but should have it in two weeks or less.
I will probably have to wait a while before I drive it, we still got snow down here in Calgary, but it will still look awesome sitting in my garage.
Anybody else out there on this forum from Calgary or Alberta that has their car yet?

Received my call yesterday from the dealer with a VIN number and a build date 3/19. can't wait now!!

Moving right along now, the build date was originally the week of 3/19/07 and has now been narrowed down to 3/20/07. I was also informed that the delivery date should be 04/07/07.

My car ended up being built on the 16th, it was originally scheduled for the 20th. My VIN is 5935 so were not brothers but were close. Perhaps cousins.

jduffy/Illegal/any other Canadian awaiting delivery,

This information will most likely not help 'jduffy' since you are located in Windsor, but I'm not sure where 'Illegal' is located, so it may be helpful. If not, then this may help anyone else scheduled to receive a car outside of the southern Ontario area.

If your car is being shipped by rail to a location in Canada, find out the railcar number from either your dealer or Ford customer service and do the following to trace the movement of your railcar:

1) Call 1-888-999-8111 - listen to the message

2) Push option 1 to enter the railcar number

3) Type in the railcar number without letters, so if your given railcar number ETTX123456, then enter 123456 followed by ##.

4) Listen to the message.

I've provided this information to another one of our members 'Canada#7_Shelby' and he's actively following his Shelby as it makes its way out to Calgary.

Let me know how this works out for you.

Hey Guys,
That's right I've been tracking my car. It's currently in North Dakota making its way steadily west. I am figuring that I'll be drving it by the weekend hopefully. I think that it'll be in Canada tomorrow. Not long now.
Like Arbour88 said, all you need is the rail number. Works like a charm.

Just another update on the cars position, it just crossed the border into Alberta...
Will have it by the weekend if the crew at the railyard gets to it in a hurry.:)

Canada#7_Shelby,

Your car's moving faster than I expected. If it's already in Alberta, then its real close. It should only take a day to get to Calgary once it crosses the border.

Keep the updates coming.

Give me a shout when your dealer calls you.

Take care.

Illegal here, I appreciate you trying to assist with tracking. I am in the South Eastern US (TN). I had responded to jduffy,s Good news because of our sheduled start dates being the same. In no way wanted to imply that I was any where near Canada. But again I thank you for wanting to help.

Hi there,
It's HERE!
Just found out that it entered Sheppard this morning at 3:49 am.
I don't know how long it takes to get through the rail yard now or anything, but it's here.
With my last Cobra, the salesman and I went down to the rail yard together and picked it up, so I'd be the first one to drive it. I hope I get to do the same this time...
I'll post another again when I here from the dealer.
:D

Congrats.You will love it.

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!! CANADA #7. Have a blast with HER!!!!!!!!!!!!

Canada#7_Shelby,

Wow! That was quick.

We don't normally move freight over our rail lines that fast. I'm starting to lean towards black as the fastest colour.

Let's just say you definitely got on the right consist of railcars.

Give me a shout when you get it.

Take care.

Black????? Not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!;) ;) ;)

bogey1222,

I said 'started to lean towards', but still not convinced on which colour is the fastest. His certainly was fast sitting on 1 of our railcars. LOL.

By the way, Canada#7_Shelby lives basically across the road from my place (also as a coincidence we work in downtown Calgary across the street from each other - small world!), so I know there will be 2 Shelbys within a stone's throw (just an expression - there will be no stones thrown) from each other.

He's getting his very very soon, so it will be great inspiration to have him install and 'test' all the upgrades before I get to do those mods to mine.

ARBOUR88, I knew you'd come to your senses. Stick with WHITE/BLUE. They start out the fastest from the factory, and remain the fastest after MODS.

:D :D :D

Hey Guys,
Thanks for the congratulations. I can’t wait to get it. I called again this morning and it’s still at the same place, sitting on the tracks on a train east of the city.
I was talking to my salesman yesterday and he told me that it could still take a few days to get here depending on how backed up the rail-yard was.
In a funny/weird coincidence, it started snowing here today, so I don’t feel too bad about not having it right away, as I think looking at it sitting in my garage would be torture if I couldn’t drive it due to snow. :rolleyes:
I will keep you all posted on when I get it.
And for the record, of course Black/no stripes is the fastest, I thought that everyone knew that. :p

Arbour88,

Your right, tracking should not be an issue for me, I know exactly where my shelby is because I was standing next to it. Thanks to some great people at AAI, I was invited down to the plant to take a look at it prior to it being shipped. It was more than I expected and I can't wait to get my hands on it. I should have it I a week or so. One point of interest though, I found out that my car was the first one striped in house and not across the street.

JD

JD,

After some 23 plus years of living in southern Ontario myself, I can say that there are advantages to living in Windsor and being that close to the AAI plant is just one of those benefits.

Keep us updated on your delivery.

Well, the big day is finally here. My car is in. The snow has stopped. The roads should be dry by the time I get to the dealership.
I am excited... I can't wait actually.
I will post a message tomorrow after I drive it for a while.

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!! Enjoy the ride home. It usually takes quite a bit longer to get back home, than it took to get to the dealers for delivery;) ;) GEE I wonder why. ZOOMMMMMMMMM>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>:D :D :D

Holy crap!!!!:eek:

'Canada#7_Shelby' just dropped by my place to show me his car and took me and my 11 year old son for a quick boot around the block.

Holy crap!!! :eek: Oh that's right, I already said that, but...Holy crap! :eek: The ride and power is unbelievable.:D :D :D

I can't wait for my car now.:mad:

Thanks bud! That was friggin' awesome!:D :) :D :)

I don't know you may still not be back home, I thought that I would go ahead and send your Congratulations notice. Your head may be so swollen when you arrive that you may not be able to see this.

Did you like it ? Want to do it again ? Worth the wait ? Just kidding. I am just living in your moment while I wait myself. Congratulations.

Hey there guys,
Let me tell you that this thing is crazy. It was well worth the wait, I can't wait to do it again. I drove it to work today, it's an amazing car. I can't see why anyone wouldn't absolutley love this car. The power is unending... I left the dealers lot with the TCS turned off, BIG mistake, one shot of gas with my right foot and I was sideways instantly...
So I pulled over and started to laugh out loud... Thank God no dammage done, but it was a quick lesson in the cars power.
You guys are going to love this car.

Arbour88, it was my pleasure to take you and your son for a quick rip. Anytime man.

You ask about my location, I am in the Great State of Tennessee. I am in the South west area. 20 min from Mississippi. 40 from Alabama. A couple of hours in any direction will put me in several different states. I do not know your age, but if you were young in the early 70 s, there was 3 movies made, name used was Walking Tall. It was about a sheriff that carried a BIG Stick. I reside in the town (Adamsville TN) that the Sheriff lived in.

Illegal

ILLEGAL,

I think Canada#7_Shelby is too young to remember that movie. He may have seen the more recent remake though. Sherriff Bufford Pusser? Or something like that. I was young in the 70s, but I remember and loved that movie. That movie was based on a true story, correct?

Thanks.

You are correct. His daughter and grand children are still here. We have a festival here each memorial day weekend. Car show and many other events. One officer from some where in the U S will be recognized for service.

We also have a museum that is open to the public for a fee to visit and see much memorabilia about Buford and his life and death. The Legend continues.

Odd that you mention that. Buford purchased a new vette in 74. He left the county fair one evening coming back to Adamsville. Lost control, Died at the seen. His daughter was the first one upon the wreck.

FYI I was not in this area when all of this was taking place. I was in Cleveland Ohio. Watching the movie @ the drive in. Graduated in 74. But did not want to mislead any one as to my knowledge here. All ways plenty of speculation on this topic here. I love it.

I was not correcting you, I just thought it funny that you mentioned the vette incident and that was how Buford died, in a vette.( I do not remember the vette part. Been a longgg time since I watched) It is just that life always comes full circle. (MOP)

I done the vette thing for a while. I have had 6. Sold what ended up being the only car that I would kick my butt over & over &&&&&. Understand ? I had a 67 2 top vert, that I still wonder what I was thinking. DUH.

I also did the Pontiac deal, never had a Goat. Did get off into the WS 6 cars. I had 3 when my wifes dream home came up for sale. Garage yes, shop NO.
Sold all in late 05 , bought her dream. I had not gotten excited about any thing till the Shelby. I'M BACK. Also the first Ford xxxxcitement that I have EVER owned. I am in waiting. Won't be long now.
