Shelby made a GT350 from 2011-2014. I had the first customer delivered GT350 "R tune"(it was a more aggressive tune- that's it) but it was in Performance white, as Shelby didn't get into repainting and Ford didnt offer Wimbledon until 2015 for the 50th Anniversary 1 of 1964 builds. Even though...
Yeah, I only drove it one time from my office to the paint shop about 15 miles so far.
Typical drama related to owning a Shelby, but usually reserved for Shelby American builds which I am far too familiar with.
Pics will definitely come, but Im gonna do a full front film on it first. I am...
Glad to see the painted stripes look so good. I got my car delivered in June and the stripes needed replacing. Well, Ford only sent half the kit, and a whole section wasn’t even the right blue. Its October, im still waiting, and finally just sent my car off to get em painted, because Im over...
You are the one that mentioned Porsche- no one else. Just sayin- no need to troll. Its getting fixed, and that is not the point.
why dont you go keyboard warrior some other thread that actually pertains to you, and let the HE guys discuss our cars here- what value do you think you bring to...
Pffft. Please dude. Ive bought a dozen Shelbys in the past few years new. Honestly, I dont even care anymore about that. Same with the transport- like those guys even get told...
Builds from Shelby American have always had these qc and gap issues, but not this bad ever from Ford.
as for...
Well, arrived today. GM called me and he was less than thrilled. Sent me some pics. Said the fit and finish is not good, but will make FMC fix it.
im not sure what to do now...
build is 22 btw. Off by one.
Railyard called my dealer and delivery may happen tomorrow! Ive still gotta work out shipping back to Texas, but I’ll have it in a couple weeks for sure. Gonna see what dash # we got soon enough. Im gonna guess somewhere between 17-21. I would be thrilled AF if it ends up 11, 17, 19. We...
I would agree with that, but if that is the case, we should be able to simply verify that by running the VIN s of each vehicle already known, and the order date and/or blend dates should match the consecutive order.
I can tell you that sometimes numbers that are important to us are not to...
I don't know of a way to do that short of asking a guy on the line to visually check it. I suspect that because there is no registered connection, they are simply applied in the order the badges are stacked, or the person who does them wants to grab. My favorite numbers in this series would be...
Id hate to speculate. Ford may be implementing some modified schedule to make up some down time. Plant shutdowns and material holds are fairly common, but a whole company wide shutdown this long is new territory.
4 of the past 5 Fords I have bought have also been pulled for QA testing and...
I went from a 4/29 delivery to 7/20....sigh. How does a 6 week shutdown result in a 12 week delay? Lol.
As a guy who has waited over a year for multiple Shelby builds, you would think my patience would be better. Hahaha.
nice spreadsheet. I was wondering when someone was going to ping...
Well, that is just not accurate information they passed along to you. Shelby American lacks the people and the equipment to take on such a task, and that has never been done on any builds. Even the Shelby GT and GT500KR programs did not have actual engine assembly done in Vegas. Sorry. Just...
Here are my first two Shelbys together. I was the first customer to pick up the 2011 GT350 R tune from Shelby American, CSM ending in 19 to match my vin on the gr500.
Funny you ask about my 2008. I had a buddy at a dealer who got me an allocation for 7k over- back then that wasnt bad for my area, and although I was a member if stangsunleashed, I still couldnt find a vert allocation. So, I spent about a month figuring out what color I wanted. As you pointed...
Im 5550983, and delivery was to be 4-29, but its sitting FRAP awaiting stickers and CF. It wont be a long wait. I spent a decade doing events for SA as a regional director and made many friends at FoMoCo, including Henry III and Jim Owens. (Although Indont think Jim likes my brother very much...
