I have my VIN, and as of this morning it has been moved into production. Estimated delivery date is 54 weeks after my order date. I'll need to sell the 2016 soon.
Another AG "R" with electronics package and white stripes.
California license plate "2017 R"
After just 11 months since placing my order, my dealer finally got their first "R" allocation of the year. Today I received the VIN# for my "R". I had almost given up on it. It's due to be built the week of April 10th, and arrive on the West Coast in mid May.
Anybody want a 2016 AG Tech Pack...
My order was confirmed on April 19th, still waiting for my dealer's allocation to come through from the build gods. My personalized plates are already completed before the car! "2017 R".
At least I can drive my 2016 GT350 around while I wait...
My wife calls everyone waiting for their...
I know that car!
That's Bruce Canepa's Shop. He now lists that car as sold, I saw it there just last month for Cars and Coffee. Including his, there were three R's and one Tech Pack in attendance. They are quite good gatherings of some very fun cars.

I had put a deposit on a future delivery of an identical car from Frontier Ford, back in February. They demanded 20K over back then. I then spent a day on the phones searching for cars and picked my car up in Texas later that week for a whole lot less. Congratulations on getting a realistic...
'17 R, R-Electronics Package order placed 04/18/16. For the moment, it has been ordered in Avalanche Gray with White OTT stripes. Same color combination as my 2016 GT350 Tech Pack. Color still subject to change until Submitted to Plant.
I do like Avalanche Gray since the color is not used by...
I placed my order for a 2017 "R" on 4/18/16. I believe my dealership sold three R's in 2016. Now the waiting begins. I am not a patient person, so I'm trying not to do anything to screw up my order.
At least I can drive my 2016 GT350 around until my 2017 is being built. Then I'll have to sell...
I ordered my 2017 GT350R, does that count? It only took searching through more than a dozen states and 50+ dealers. I don't want to say much more in fear of jinxing the deal.
I also ordered a new personalized plate to go along with the car:
I expect it might get a little easier to find a lower ADM on GT350's by this time next year, but not much before. There is still enough pent up demand to keep them selling well through then.
From what I've seen so far, and I've been asking around to dealers in over a dozen states, dealers are...
I picked my car up on Friday, and drove it back to Northern California over the weekend. I managed to find the car at Leif Johnson Ford in Austin. Only stayed in town long enough to pick up the car, grab some barbeque and head west. Border Patrol Agent in El Paso really liked the car too.
