OK i called ford at 18003923673. They can see the order but Im guessing they dont know if it will be built ever.

But at least I can confirm they placed it..

To reiterate what someone else posted. I also placed a 2016 R order with only a 350 allocation and it never went thru and a 350 didnt even come. Dealer thought he could order the R regardless, but thats not how it works.

Yeah I got that hence I said I dont know if it will ever be built... Is there anyway to confirm that independently?

That's what I'd like to know. How to tell it is a bonafide allocation and not just an order.

Request proof from their Ford Rep.

You have to have your dealer contact the regional rep. If they tell him, yes they have an R allocation, then they do. If not, then it wont be built. Dont trust your dealers word because they may tell you they asked but didnt. Ask for a email from rep. Sounds like a lot of BS...and it is.
Ford should have made it so that their system only accepts the order if dealer has the allocation.

Edit: Another thing that speaks volumes is how many 350s allocations the dealer has for each model year. If 3+ i'd say its likely they would get an R allocation but still you don't know until you've got it from the rep.

My dealer seems to be a bit of NEWB It does sound very annoying

Sometimes you gotta pound it into their brain.
"Call the regional rep and have them tell me or you if your dealership has a 920a (r model) allocation." "Please send correspondence to my email".
Thats all it takes. Sometimes it takes a couple days to get back.
Good luck, hope it works out for you.

The rep confirmed to my salesman and GM that it is an R allocation, but I don't have anything in writing except an email with the agreed upon price and the order confirmation. This was the first of 3 R allocations for my dealer. In my case, the buyer backed out and I was pestering my salesman so much that I was first on the list to get the call. So who knows.... time will tell. I wish there was a way for people like us to confirm allocation status independently.

Sounds like your golden Tom, i wouldnt worry about a thing. They have 3 allocations, so it must be a large volume dealer. The ones you gotta worry about are the ones that get 1 or 2 non R model allocations total. Sounds like your dealer gets at least 3 regular 350s but more like 4 or 5, plus the Rs.

 

[abcut973]

Anyone on the US received their 2017 R yet?
Or have inside info of theirs being built?

 

[MTWINN]

I don't know if they have a allocation I don't think they know they need one

It's shocking that dealerships have no clue what's going on. Surely, Ford would have sent out information regarding the GT350/R ordering process in the beginning when the dealers signed up for the program.
