I've asked the dealer for an update today instead of my usual talking to Ford. My dealer told me the car is on hold but they don't know the reason why. I guess this just confirms that Ford is waiting to fill all the orders and to ship them at the end of the month in bulk and start their R production after.
Sounds like yours would be the next batch since they're close to done with the first batch if they plan to have them signed off and shipped soon.My non-R is still not scheduled. Hope it doesn't get "balanced out" and is scheduled for the next batch.
Well this is exciting! Since I saw this I wanted to contact Ford Performance chat, but apparently the link doesn't work anymore to open the chat.I found the first 2019 GT350 'in the wild' today on Auto Trader in Magnetic Grey...been watching every day just to get some pictures of the changes for this model year. No interior shots yet, but something to enjoy...especially the Mag fans! Looks like they're starting to ship!!

Hi. Am curious: Does your dealer have an allocation for that order yet? Do you have a deposit on a purchase agreement that is pending order acceptance or did it go through? You might guess why I'm asking - I paid my deposit end of December and its still only a purchase agreement - my dealer sold their 1st and only allocation in Nov (car was built Feb - not yet delivered either). My order is pending them getting their 2nd/next allocation. They tend to get 2-3 per year (I've seen GT500's and even GT's at this dealership despit them being medium to small) but apparently for dealers of that scale they only get that many they come in early & then later from the regional splitup. I'm in Mass so unlike Cali or Tx the allocation numbers are supposedly lower. I had mistakenly though in December that the allocation for mine would happen on delivery of the 1st cycle but apparently its not that solid a rule. I'm told if they get one in April I'm looking at a June build & July delivery which is long wait....and the bigger concern is the occasional rumors of a shorter production run (as of my asking a week ago my dealer has received no such notice nor has the north east or New England rep according to my dealer who checked with the rep).Put my deposit down on my 2019 GT350 today! Super stoked, will be a tough wait!!
I think you were right! I just got off Ford Performance Chat and they said my vehicle has been scheduled to the week of 5/20! The second batch is being scheduled as the first batch is getting ready to be shipped. Now its time to bug my dealer until he gives me the VIN.Sounds like yours would be the next batch since they're close to done with the first batch if they plan to have them signed off and shipped soon.
Did they say when the first batch is shipping?I think you were right! I just got off Ford Performance Chat and they said my vehicle has been scheduled to the week of 5/20!

Sorry, I didn't ask. I got excited, thanked him and closed the chat window.Did they say when the first batch is shipping?
I asked, and got the response of "soon"...Did they say when the first batch is shipping?
My car is scheduled for 5/20 and I've had my Vin for a full week. Your dealer has some explaining to do. LOLI think you were right!
