07 Shelby is the following true?: Someone in SVT offices today told me that "shipped" merely means groups of GT500's moved to a railyard where hundreds of cars will be aggregated and then placed on trucks and rail? meaning days before first dealers see their cars ?cyrusapollo said:
I'm a pretty patient guy...but I'm thinkin' if I had to look at them all day or in the case of oldimp having a car already built, my patience would be wearin' thin @ this point. I just get up, go to work...check the email for anything new. @ this point a VIN would would work for me. I checked-in with my dealer last week, mainly just to ask if I had to pay sales tax on the GGT and the ADM. Their answer was YES to both...it only adds about $500+ bux to the deal, but was unexpected nonetheless. I offered to pay them the $5K ADM seperately, but they said NO DICE07 SHELBY said:
Thanks for the update 07 SHELBY

Thanks 07, I'm being patient. I know I'll be awhile, as I bought from a small dealer with no awards. I probably won't even check with my dealer until mid August to see if he's heard anything. I wouldn't even be surprised if I didn't get my car until December...we'll see.07 SHELBY said:
The formula for who gets priority is complicated. You are PARTIALLY correct in that PA award dealers get their first car first, but then it's less clear regarding cars after that. In addition, any share of nation cars go through a complex allocation process. There are other categories of dealers called "Select" and another one that complicate matters even further.cyrusapollo said:
oldimp...YES a VIN would be a very welcome bit of infooldimp said:
...I'm not sure where my dealer stands in the grand scheme of things. I know they are a Blue Oval dealer, but as far as SVT or PA I'm not 100% sure...and didn't want to bug'em too much because I am getting one of their two cars for $5K over in what amounts to be the greater Los Angeles area...and I'm pretty much a bottom feeder in my neighborhood, so I'm with you on the 'fortunate' thing. I'll just wait it out...and save more $$ and try to learn a thing or three from the guys like you who will already be on their second or third set of tires by the time my GT500 arrives!!
Second or third set! Oh, Lordy!ShelbyWise said:oldimp...YES a VIN would be a very welcome bit of info
Hey 07 Shelby, I'll still be here. I'm not one of the lucky ones getting one, I'm just a lowly middle man; I'll probably never even get to drive one. Heck, all three of the ones I sold are going out of state, so I won't even get to see them driving around town. But I'm still just as excited just to be a part of it. That's the best part of my job, putting someone in the car of their dreams. I'll shoot the bull with you anytime.07 SHELBY said:
Hey...where's Sigel? And 07....count me in too. I'm a fanatic Shelby guy, a Ford supporter and think that in a time when I hear nothing but bitching and buyouts, your contribution to a forum such as this is unexpected and absolutely respected and appreciated. The underlying theme of your posts is that you're proud of what you build and are genuinely happy to impart the info you can and bring people into the fold. bjcyrusapollo said:

I have a website already built for the car so when I do have it I will post up my site address so you can see the changes just like I did with my motorcycle.
