Sorry if this is a re-post but does anyone know how to find a specific GT (eg. sonic blue, premium, iup, etc..) without entering the zip codes on a "inventory search" on FordVehicles.com? I've entered as many zip codes as possible without getting a hit on the exact car i want.
You'd think that Ford would make that feature available on their website to buyers who don't mind going to a dealer 1000 miles away to get the exact car without waiting 10-12 weeks for a special build!
TIA :worship:

I do know, that if you can't find what you want, the dealership can call the region "manager" and see what dealer has something closest to what you want.

Well, that's pretty close. Don't need the side bags or wheel locks but hhmmm.
How many miles on the clock and where is it located?!

hey pace - I don't want this thread to turn into extra work for you, and I'll feel bad if lots of other ppl start asking you to check too, but if you have some spare time on your hands, and could check on the GT on my sig, I'd really appreciate it.

To find cars on the lot I did this:
Searched http://www.automotive.com for all dealers within 100 miles of my house. Printed out this list (which had zip codes) and after building my car on FordDirect, chose the first zip code on the list, profiled those 5 dealers, and kept going down the list until I had checked them all off.
I found 0 exact matches (none had ICAP), 2 partial patches (everything but ICAP) and 2 more alright matches (everything but ICAP, and second choice body color). Also, by calling the smaller dealers with no inventory information on FordDirect but only contact information, I was able to find a used GT, a dealer that takes X-Plans and a dealer that actually cared about me!

wow, Pace - that's amazing (and to be honest, a little disappointing - I hadn't seen anyone on the forums that had the exact car I wanted, now I know there's at least one more out there 
) thanks so much for finding it - where is that one located?
