I should think so. It’s a great package and it was my second choice for color. Having just come from owning an older GT500 in black, the thought of keeping a white car looking spic and span was more than I could handle.Hopefully the guys who were looking for a GT350 HEP R can now get one for MSRP
Good information, thanks. Glad everything worked out for you with the end result of a safe delivery. I am not worried per say, just getting impatient. I am guessing another two to three weeks tops.Mine was like that for almost two weeks. Mine was delivered just a day shy of my ETA end date so you shouldn't worry. My chassis number is LO118 and I saw people have higher chassis numbers that have been delivered before mine. I was really nervous when I saw it change into carrier transportation because there was a hurricane storm that hit while it was in that status and there was a trailer was transporting cars and crashed on the highway.
Thankful everything worked out.
I feel you and thanks. I was pretty impatient too, I wasn't at first but after I found out that it was ready I became impatient. For some people it takes way longer. There was a guy on here that ordered his GT350 for Christmas last year and it wasn't built until June of this year. I secured an order for a GT350 in May, and when it was made around the same time in June and ours were both transported together. He lived only a few states away and mine came 2-3 weeks after he got his. Mine sat on the lot at the Factory for about 2 weeks and the railway took about 3 weeks and the convoy lasted only a few days.Good information, thanks.

Based on the lack of data it is hard to say how long a Shelby sits on the lot once it is produced before it is shipped, but the one account I did find was about 3 weeks. More accounts would help codify that data, but could not really pull additional data from this thread. I would also be interested in produced to delivered timeframes for both rail and convoy transportations.
Time will tell.
I noticed your avatar, so out of curiosity, what is your association with the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault)?
Thank you for your service. A lot of history with the 502nd, recommend you read the book Black Hearts, if you have not already. I do live in Clarksville and we were actually at Campbell during the same time period. I was assigned there from 2012 to 2017, with one trip to Afghanistan (2013-2104). I retired in 2017. I was in HHBn (DIV HQs), 101st. Did 4 years as an Assistant Inspector General, a job I currently hold as a DA Civilian, working in the same office I did as a service member. Campbell is great installation to retire at, as the community is military friendly and has good opportunities for retired veterans, which is why we decided to stay....at least for the time being. Wife is trying to get me to go back to Texas, but that is not happening anytime soon. I didn't do too much partying as I was married. I did a lot at my first duty station in Germany though, and when I was stationed at Ft. Hood, Texas. Hit up 6th Street in Austin many of weekends.I feel you and thanks.

That was my unit, I joined the Army out of high school back in 2012 and got assigned to Fort Campbell. I was there from 2012-2015. My MOS was 11B, I was in 1-502, 2nd Brigade which is known as 'Strike' (I am assuming you know what this means) . It was an interesting experience to say the very least lol. Im glad Im out now but there are some things I do miss. The emblem on the left is like the unofficial emblem, it was the regiment patch back in WW2 and then it changed in the 70s I think. It is still used, it just isnt worn on the dress uniform. Its probably the coolest battalion emblem I have ever seen. I'm so glad they gave us one during our deployment.
I see that you are in Clarksville, Im guessing you were in the 101 as well and just stayed in the area when you got out? I don't think it's a popular spot in Tennessee. I spent way too much money on booze partying in Nashville lol
Thanks for your service too, yes there is a lot of history with the unit and it is an honor that I was able to be part of it and contribute. I now have a greater appreciation for those who served before me. Yes I heard of the book, I never read it completely but, I can relate to it because we had similar issues during our deployment because of bad/toxic leadership. Low on manpower with the stress of constantly going out completely and being isolated from everyone else. Strangely enough, I was in Bravo Company but was not in 1st platoon. That is very interesting, we were in Afghanistan together too I was there at the beginning of 2014. My squad and 2 others were the first ones to go over there (I forget what you call it but its the people who go before the main body goes). I was surprised when we got there because some of our battalion HQ people were there so you may have been a part of that pre-deplyoment command group. I wonder if you guys ever kept tabs on my company since we got assigned to SOTF (Special Operations), we were isolated, we we only saw the BC once and our CO like 3 times.Thank you for your service.

Congratulations on your new HEP R!!Went to the dealer to sign the papers and finalize everything. This was the only picture I took, Chassis #LR087. Based on inspection everything looked good, as I could find no damage and all the lines looked good, with no noticeable bumper gaps. The R was pretty scuzzy from sitting on the lot and it appeared it had been rained on (no surprise). The dirt and crud made it difficult to inspect the rims, but they looked ok. I didn't want to rub every questionable mark I saw on them. The couple I did, however, rubbed off. The lead tech had just finished installing the splitter when arrived, and said he had done a hand-full of 350 and 500 splitter installs. He made a point to mention he made sure all the splitter tabs were seated. He also told me I made a wise choice in not having the dealer wash the car. I figured I made the right choice in that regard, but it does hinder from being able to conduct a close and thorough inspection. The car will get released tomorrow once the check arrives, which then Velocity Motorcars will come and pick the car up in their enclosed trailer and take it to their shop for the paint correction, PPF, and ceramic coating. Here is to hoping to have it by the weekend!
