2019 R build timeframe

[biminiLX]

I was offered a 2019 GT350R at MSRP that I can order.
The local dealer won an R lottery and already put in an order, but want me to change to my specs if possible.
I really want to change the body color and exterior package (definitely black roof, debating stripes) and also need to know a timeframe to make some other changes to my current vehicles.
So, anyone know the timeframe for 2019 R builds?
I know they used to hold production during the winter due to tire cracking. The dealer wasn’t aware of this.
Any input appreciated.

Congrats on the "R" ! If memory is correct was thinking it was somewhere around the first of March.

Great that would be better, after March first.
Considering it was -15 here this week, it’s not driving season until mid-April.

Anyone else with insight?

My R was built at the end of March last year and made it to the dealership in Florida about eight weeks later.

R models typically aren't built between late November and early March due to tire issues. For 2019, though, no cars were built during the fall season, so not sure when they will start-up with production.

I think even the base 350 got sport cup Michelin’s? Might be the case but I think base 350 production is scheduled.

When do orders close for the 19 GT350R?

I don’t think 4/8 is the actual build date. The DORA’s simply say “Late Availability 4/8/19”.

4/8 is scheduled according to my paperwork from Ford.
