If you're searching in the New England area they may be in short supply in dealer stock. I read that the top 5 states for convertible sales (all makes and models) are CA, TX, FL, NY, NJ. If you're using the Ford search tool try putting in a zip code for some place warmer and expanding the search radius to maximum (100 miles). GT Convertibles are rare but they are out there.
This was our experience even looking for a used one. Took about three months to get one and drove a couple of hundred miles to get it.
While waiting for my factory order I did a dealer inventory search to see what was out there. At the time I found only 2 manual GT convertibles within a 100 mile radius of San Francisco. That covers a lot of urban territory and dealerships. I don't know how many GT convertibles (both auto and manual) Ford builds but they don't sit of the dealer lots for long.
Congratulations! Have fun!
Try CARMAX. It won’t be new but they sometimes have some like-new, very low mileage cars, and they will ship it in if they happen to have one in Florida or California, which is where the majority of the convertibles are. (And no, I don’t work for CarMax)
Used to be. The rental car business took a dump during covid and got rid of a lot of cars and didn't replace them.
