I am equally perplexed. I have a GT350 on order and based on Fords order tracking website and the car was produced awaiting shipment and supposed to be delivered by Nov 25. I checked on it last week and it now says it is in order processing - not even produced yet! I don't think they have any idea what is going on.

Have they given you guys a reason for not shipping them? Everyday I'm surprised by the mindnumbingly bad decisions by Ford that only serve to piss off their customers. Why in the hell would they not ship them? If anything, they can get the sales in the books instead of sitting on the inventory. Their corporate culture and decision making is very very strange.

At the very least why wouldn't they let the customer do the paperwork at the dealer and pick it up from the plant if they wanted to? Is it that hard to give somebody a visitor pass and open a gate or two?
Unfortunately not. I'm up to the CFOS (whatever that stands for) level within Ford. He stated they are not able to even tell the dealers so, he doesn't even bother to ask. [MENTION=7992]FordService[/MENTION] stated that my car may not have made the cut (whatever that means).

What!? How sure are we of this? My was built 10/27. Dealer said early December delivery just last week. I don't think I will be waiting around until March as they screwed up my color combo anyway and omitted my request for a black roof.
That was a direct quote from [MENTION=7992]FordService[/MENTION]. Ford Performance told K code that if his car didn't ship yesterday that it wouldn't ship until mid-March. Sounds sure to me. There now appears to be at least 3 of us in this situation.

Well that's super helpful. Sorry, good luck.

My car was built 6 weeks ago and is still awaiting shipment. Can I go up there and get it?

I don't believe that's allowed.

Is that acceptable to you? Are you ok with your car having been left outside thru a MI winter? They should not have produced anything that they couldn't ship before the shut down.
I went through this samething last year. I live 15 miles from Flatrock. Do people really think car manufacturers store finished car indoors?
My car was built on 10-21-15. I didn't get it until 12-2-15.

Do not take this lying down. Make some noise. Let them know that it's unacceptable to leave these specialty cars out in the MI weather for months. Start with your dealer and work your way up from there. Look at this forecast, rain, snow, wind and below freezing temps. Our cars deserve better.

I remember it very well along with your field trip with pics. I referred to it recently.

Compared to what, Siberia? Spoken like a true car salesman. Mine tried to tell me it was going to be stored indoors. I told him that I have pics to the contrary.
