I said it a long time ago. You are a pillar of the community. You should have been the first to get one not only for what you have done, but for what I know you are going to do moving forward.

Shit, I'll never head get my head through the door now.

There are things in the works behind the scenes that I'm moving forward with even though the car will be going on a tour of the country before I finally get it home. Trying to order certain parts for the car is posing a minor challenge but not something insurmountable to some great guys that work for Ford and that just might be on here too (and you know who you are!).

I know right? For whatever reason white/black roof wasn't a combination I'd seen much of to date.

Funny how you have 2nd thoughts about color choice. I admit that white can be somewhat "empty" especially with some really unique colors that guys will be getting. Rapid looks great in the sun, black dominates the horizon (when clean!), blue is downright classic, Race red is very Ferrari-ish, green a bit controversial. I think the dark horse is going to be the silver as it looks great in most any light and really shows the sculpted lines of the S550 design. I honestly can't wait to see everyone get what they want and to see which mods work best with this car. Should be a fantastic ride.

This just makes me loose respect.

Well tighten that respect up!

Congrats! So glad to see a member's journey and payoff. Only in America! Maybe I can wait it out to spring to get one. I see lots of white ones listed online already, but white my least favorite color. Good luck and enjoy.

I just talked to the dealer, Nick Anderson from Chuck Anderson Ford in Missouri (just outside KC). Nicks believes that once released from the plant that it'll be ~2 weeks via rail to the yard nearest him. I think he said it's about 20 minutes from his dealer to the rail yard. If Mother Nature cooperates I'll be hauling ass, err "driving", home to NY (around a 14 hr drive). Fingers crossed.

Fingers crossed, and if you need a pit stop, or anything in MA on your way home,
mi casa tu casa.

Your a brave soul lol, they dumped crazy amounts of salt down since last week. My new car wont being seeing these roads with that salt. I would have to drive further into NY than you I believe.

Stop by Indy on your way. Buy you a drink and show you one of the baddest car collections (buddy's) when here. On your way!

From one car guy/girl to another I'm glad for you......all congratulations.

After reading your post and seeing the outstanding pictures of your Oxford White GT500 and especially the 5th and last picture of your car going down the FR assembly line that last picture of your car got my heart racing.

What an outstanding color combination and especially when you added the Black roof to your car that really was the icing on the cake for me.

Your car would have looked terrific in all White but with that Black painted roof along with the Black rear spoiler, Black side mirrors, Black louvered hood air extractor, Black front bumper, Black chin spoiler and Black wheels this color combination has to be if not the best but certainly one of the very best looking GT500's that will be produced.

The most favorite Mustang that I have owned to date was a 2012 Performance White Boss 302 and it came with a Black roof as well.

Not only was it my most enjoyable and performing Mustang of all time but visually I loved that terrific color combination and received a great deal of compliments about that car over many years.

Like you I ordered a Rapid Red Metallic GT500 and after seeing these pictures especially that last one this has me thinking a great deal about a possible new color combination.

Thanks for posting and congratulations on seeing your car being born at FR.

BTW, did anyone take a picture of your chassis number or at least advise you what number it is?

May I suggest shipping it on an enclosed transport? I think when I had JR357 shipped to me from MO, it was about a thousand bucks. It will save you all the inclement weather and salt exposure.

 

[Epiphany]

That's the backup plan. Enclosed is mandatory as far as I'm concerned, if necessary.

 

[Stage_3]

That's awesome.
Congrats!!

Well done!
Who took the photos, surely its not part of Ford's standard service
