Recently I came across this 2018 Shelby GT350 and when I noticed the VIN on this vehicle I immediately knew that this was a Pilot Production GT350 based on the VIN series therefore made a call to the dealership in question who I happen to know very well.
My first question that I wanted answered was what was the chassis number after which time I was informed that the chassis number is "PP001" which obviously indicates that this was the first 2018 Pilot Production Shelby GT350 built as the FRAP for the 2018 MY.
My next step was to get a copy of the Oasis Report for this cool vehicle and suggest that this GT350 was built very early on for a Ford Exec in Dearborn with the Oasis Report confirming that this car was assembled on June 23rd, 2017 which is well before the start of the regular production 2018 cars and probably built before the 2017 MY GT350/R's were discontinued for that MY.
It looks like the "Bumper to Bumper" 3 year warranty is still in place with the warranty start date being August 7th, 2017 and of course also suggest that the "Powertrain" warranty will extend through August 7th, 2020 but someone interested needs to confirm all of that.
Based on my records the FRAP only produced 21 PP cars for 2018 with this vehicle having chassis # "PP001" therefore it does not get any better than that.
Of the 4,378 GT350/R's produced for the 2018 MY only 25 cars came in Orange Fury with White OTT stripes and personally really like this color combination.
For more details about this car you can contact Chip Welch at O.C. Welch Ford Lincoln with his direct phone number being 843-288-0212 and is listed on eBay item # 373057614601.
Good luck for those of you that like interesting and rare Pilot Production cars such as this one!
