  1. RUBY RED GT350/R Thread

    I knew I wanted RRM when I saw it. I will pick mine up at the dealership tomorrow. I saw it when it was still a mess from the train ride and sitting in the yard at FR and the final train stop. Even then, the depth and color were just outstanding. I have asked several on this list what they...

    As of yesterday COTUS thought it was still in transit. The internal ford systems thought the same thing and had not been updated since October 5. So I guess I would have to say it seemed pretty accurate until it got on the train, not so good after that.

    Mine was delivered to the dealer yesterday covered in bird droppings. It sat in the rail yard for a total of 10 days. How long, has many variables like collecting enough cars for a trip to a dealer or packing a few dealers together and probably some things I don't know.
  4. How to track train rail cars?

    Ford out of Sync with CSX As soon as my car was released for transit and put on a train I got the CSX car number from my dealer and tracked the car to the local rail yard that will eventually take the car to the dealer. The car left flat rock around October 1st and arrived at the final...

    I don't remember where this was posted. Here is what I have been using that I copied from someone else's posting in the forum. 1. Call CSX at 1 800-235-2352 2. When prompted for location or weight, press 1 on your phone for location 3. When prompted for the car initials, say them and wait...

    Where's my car I just called Ford Performance and they said that the last update they had was on October 5 and the car was in New York. That is pretty much what the dealer said, but I followed the car as it moved across MA until it was "released by customer empty" on Saturday 10/8...

    Mine has been at the rail yard since Saturday. The delivery date was supposed to be today. Yesterday COTUS said 0 days to delivery. Now COTUS shows the car without any delivery date. I was at the dealer today, and the GM showed me on his console that the data he has is that the car is in New...

    I am not sure if you saw my post yesterday or if it applies to you. In my case the dealer said my car which was delivered two days ago at the railroad terminal about 15 miles from the dealer may stay there until there are enough of there cars to fill the truck. So even if you are not having...

    I am sorry to hear about this. Its been kind of fun tracking the car over the past week. In terms of your dealer, he may not care about anything you say to him. After you are all done, sending a note to Ford might help. I just also learned two things about the estimate to dealer delivery...

    Mine says 2, but I bet there is a bit of slack built in.

    In this process I have learned that there is significant variation in dealer ability and helpfulness. I don't know, but i would strongly suspect that CSX would be the rail carrier to NY State. I learned on this forum about the process then called my dealer and he sent me a mail message with the...

    I have been following mine, about 4 times a day with the CSX phone tracking system. "Arrived at customer location" at 10:20 this morning. I guess the dealer will pick it up Monday or Tuesday. COTUS says 3 days to delivery at dealer which sounds about right.

    I am sure it depends on where it is being sent to from Flat Rock. Mine waited about one week before leaving on a train last Saturday. Since then I have been tracking it on CSX. It is painful to have it sit in a location for a day and a half. I think the closer it gets, the harder it is. I did...
  14. Craig's Custom license plate mounting bracket NO DRILL!

    Hi Just moments after I posted this, Craig called me - I had tried to reach him yesterday. In any case, he does have a reasonable way to get the plate holder off so I am going to order one.
  15. Craig's Custom license plate mounting bracket NO DRILL!

    Removal of the Plate holder My 350 is due to be delivered next week. I live in a state that requires a front plate, but in a bit over a year I expect to be living in a state that does not require a front plate so I am especially interested in a solution that I can remove. My concern about the...

    Thank you for this as well as the information about the Patriot Corridor. What you say makes sense. The amount of time you say makes some sense as well. I just checked again. The railroad car has not moved according to the tracking service since 6:20am yesterday.

    Shipping to the Northeast I may be following the shipment of my car from Flat Rock too closely but.... On Saturday it started its trip with several stops in MI, Sunday had a number of stops in OH. It arrived in New York yesterday at what the automated attendant says is "FISA" at 6:20 AM. and...

    I really enjoyed it as well. Even if you are not a Mustang fan, the process of creating the car, history in the film, and story of the chief engineer were all interesting. I though I caught a quick mention of the current GT350, but it went by very fast - I could be wrong.
  19. COTUS for 2017 is working!

    The status of my 350 has been awaiting shipment for over a week - and I understand how it may be even longer before it is shipped. The question is mine seems to have gone through production on one day and the to awaiting shipment the next day. Is that possible. Why would there be a difference...
  20. Non-factory clear coat to prevent rock chips?

    Thanks, I appreciate this. Others had said with a metallic color, it did not work as well. I was thinking of a minimum PPF, but may go this route first. It did a great job on a black C63 I had which I know is probably an easier color.
