Congratulations Timmer and Ron

@Tim_bits - Shipped Rail

@RapidResponder - Returned from Body Company (Penske)
I would guess about the next step, but Ford seems to be handling the CFTP cars differently.
I saw one the other day that had been listed as Released Awaiting Shipment 2 days earlier and was now shown as Delivered in TN.
Talk about a Twilight Zone moment.

Huh at this point I figured I wouldn’t see it until it warmed up. This was today with 12 inches of snow forecasted tomorrow.

Thanks George. Yes, it was one of the last VINs that was posted today and I couldn't believe my eyes when I clicked on it and it was my car. I wasn't sure this day would ever come, but I was wrong. It's good to be wrong. I found out that it is scheduled for the week of 02/24/2020. Now all Ihave to get off my butt and start too clean out the garage and make a space for the newest member of the family. Good times are coming.

Congrats Earl, out of all of us you by far deserved this a long time ago! Can’t wait to see it. Appreciate all you do!

Congrats, Timmer. And Ron, clearly the mystery thickens. But I believe our Snack Packs will ship without us knowing it as Earl mentioned. I think they fall out of the data entry system once they leave the FRAP. But I don't have a clue what Returned from BC means.

Patience is key, to be sure..hang in there and hopefully, we'll both be driving soon.

The adjustable strut is supposed to be part of handling package right? If so can you give me the part number and I’m gonna have my dealer order it if it was supposed to come with the car. Also the license plate if you don’t mind to. Thank you!

I think you can see the number on the plate bracket if you zoom in. If not, I’ll find it for you. Here is the strut kit

Congratulations Earl! It’s about time the godfather of the 2020 GT500 got his VIN so he can get his car produced.

Normally the painted stripe cars are returned back to the plant from Penske and are then Released Awaiting Shipment, then hopefully they are Received Awaiting Shipment by the shippers and then it goes either Shipped Rail or Shipped Convoy. This doesn't seem to be happening, at least not on the tracking websites.

For anyone who wants the factory front license plate bracket, here is what it looks like, and the number. My dealership ordered it for me, as it didn't come with the car. I will never use it, I just wanted everything it was supposed to come with. They are working on the adjustable strut hats as well.

Did the bracket come with instructions? I was curious to see were they wanted it mounted.

The GSM from my dealership just texted me to say he spoke with Ford today. Was stated that all early build cars will be delivered within three weeks.

None at all, but I’m sure you just screw it to the bumper cover using the locator dimples.

It always cracks me up when I think of all the money Ford puts into designing the car and how little they spend on designing a front license plate bracket. It shouldn't be an afterthought. It's like a super model with a big hairy wart on her forehead. I just doesn't make sense.

Man if that isn't the truth, I hated screwing that to the front of my 350, it breaks up the whole front profile of the cars face. Congrats to finally having YOUR own Shelby to track, from all of us to you, Thanks for all you do. Chris

The car has arrived at the railyard and as soon as it is unloaded it should be received by the trucking company for delivery to your dealer.
