Hi Big Ron- glad to see that a person placing an order (relatively) late in the model year is getting a VIN fairly quickly. I ordered a base 350 on 31 JUL (at MSRP) and just got an updated order number yesterday. The first order number I got (on the day I placed my order) never worked at all on the Ford Performance chat site, they always said they didn’t have a record of it in the system there. I got the updated order number from my dealer too late in the day yesterday to check it w Ford Performance, will do so on Monday.
My fingers are crossed that I’ll be a week behind you the whole way, i.e. that I’ll get a VIN by 21 AUG. Can you let me know how your process went, with regard to getting an order number (did you too get a revised order number and then get a VIN a week after that?)
Had the rumor not come out that this was the last year of the GT350, I wouldn’t have tried an order this late in the year. The pandemic chaos can’t be helping either.
So when I used my order sheet and went through ford performance to see where my order was at, because it had been 2 weeks, Ford was like, this order number doesn’t work. Then ironically, the next day, my dealer sent me a picture with my vin. It turned out the order number on the initial order sheet was wrong by comparison to what ford actually gave them.
also, the GT350 won’t be around anymore after this year. Someone found the sheets for next year on what Ford is making and the only 5.2 liter V8 is the GT500 on there. The Mach 1 is taking its place.
