Thanks. It is usually a great time, but getting more crowded each year.

Anybody planning on attending Cars on 5th in Naples Fl with their GT500? Love to see the car close up and in person. Closest I’ve gotten is my DORA. Cars on 5th is a pretty good take. Mostly Ferrari’s and Lamborghini, but muscle cars at start and end of 5th. At 4pm all the cars line up and...

Happy New Year ! May 2020 be a Great Year for all. Congrats and good luck to all who have received GTs or are being built. Let’s hope Ford puts that line in hyperdrive when they startup!

Acme 1:18 Model Delayed Until Jan 2020 Had to laugh, saw this on eBay today. Guess Acme Replicas wants to mirror the actual gt500 with delays. Unscheduled/material hold? RACE RED 2020 FORD SHELBY GT500 SPIRIT 1:18 SCALE RESIN MODEL - PRE ORDER I was just informed by Acme that the release date...

Had to laugh, saw this on eBay today. Guess Acme wants to mirror the actual gt500 with delays. Unscheduled/material hold? RACE RED 2020 FORD SHELBY GT500 SPIRIT 1:18 SCALE RESIN MODEL - PRE ORDER I was just informed by Acme that the release date has been moved from December 2019 to January 2020.

Earl, u r amazing. Thank you for taking the time. I like the 4-5 days to build. Here’s hoping we get the car built by spring. Teddy

I’d like to draw on the knowledge of the members on the post. + Does anybody have a WAG on how many GT500 can be produced in a week once ramped up. + Any info on how production works? Example; a run of gt500, then a run of others... + How long does it take to build a 500 once it is started...

Earl; where would we be without you? You are the only bright light in this whole convoluted process. Know crap happens, but would be nice if there was some communication with the people who plunked down good money. More than happy waiting, just want to know why and when? FORD are u listening...

Looked under tree this morning, no Build date :( To all you owners and potential owners... Happy Holidays. @Snoopy49 Earl, I’m sure Santa was good to you. You have been very nice! Thanks. Teddy

You mean he won’t go into unscheduled / material hold :) ? he’s missing all the fun.

Are they having a distressed sale? If so, I’m buying. Beats waiting for a VIN that may never come.

I am just an average shumck. Not a YT guy, not a racer, don’t have thousands of posts, have absolutely no clout. I just wanted to buy a car that I could enjoy. I didn’t realize all the drama and mystery surrounding this cluster f#@# of a process. Buying an 80k+ car should be enjoyable. This is...

Enzo used some words in Italian that I would have been given a time out if I had used. :)

Jmeo, well said. Thread was a train wreck. Don’t get it.

Dumb question... but, does anybody know how many allocations were allotted the dealers? All 5,000 they plan on producing?

File under 'we will probably never know.' White House should take a look at Fords security. No whistle blowers, leaks here :(

@Snoopy49, I sure hope you are correct. Put me down for Feb-01. FP did say on the phone that they will shutdown the Base production for the 'winter months', whatever that is.

Besides pissed off customers and poor publicity there is roughly 16 million dollars in inventory just sitting there doing Ford no good so something we will never know is up. 200 down 4,800 to go. Better crank up that line when they resume in March.

Earl, thank you very much for your selfless hard work and technical wizardry. We (as well as FP) owe you a bunch for keeping the members out of the dark in the mysterious build process. Tomster, Also a shout out for starting this thread. Your posts always have great, accurate information. You...

Great news! Happy for you. Congrats.
