Is this a joke? Money for a brochure?

No joke, Joe...............you don't want to know how much I paid for a 2013 brochure here in the UK 
Still, the last one was a pretty slick production (I bought the 40-odd page version, like the one in TN's link.........I believe there was a much smaller version, too).
If one comes up for sale over here on eBay.......I'll be buying a '14 too

Bit the bullet an test drove a Shelby today. Waiting on mine is starting to be too much. Never knew test driving a car would be So hard to do. Then again I kinda understand since they are that expensive. Might just be me but it seems a bit much for around town driving. Never managed to get out of 2nd gear. :/ the dealer said take the weekend to decide on it or my 2014 on order.

I usually hang out at the Vintage-Mustang forum (I already own a '65 and an '03), but since I just ordered a '14 I wandered onto this site.
Since placing my order on 11 April (last Thursday) I haven't heard anything from my dealer. Should they have a DORA by now? I've owned dozens of cars over the years, but this is the first one I've ever ordered from the factory (ugh, the wait is going to kill me). I don't want to bug my dealer, but I'll probably stop by on Friday to see if they have any updates for me.
On the day I placed the order, they gave me a "Vehicle Order Confirmation" that indicates:
dealer: F52007
order no: 0099
priority: 10
My '65 is a Silver Smoke Metallic coupe with red interior, so I tried to go with the same theme:
P8C- GT Coupe Premium
UJ- Sterling Gray
401A- (Brick Red- P)
44X- 6spd manual (I have a T5 5spd manual in the '65)
58N- Electronics Package
53B- Comfort Package
55R- Track Package
59G- Glass Roof (a couple dealers tried to talk me out of that option due to the heat in Texas, but I really wanted it, and from what I've read it doesn't really cause the car to get any hotter than a metal roof if the sunscreen is closed)
77C- Rear Camera
941- Accessory Pkg 1 (louvers, scoops)
I hate negotiating price, so I just used my Mustang Club of America X-Plan pricing (which took the sticker of $44,100 down to $41,347... plus I plan on using the $1500 rebate... I'm hoping $39,850 is a decent deal).

We both ordered on the exact same day, it will be interesting to see which car gets built first !!
Mine is Sterling Gray as well, but with only 3:73 gears and Recaros as options.
Yes my Shelby is at my dealers now, can't wait to pick her up. Thanks Deysha for all your help and updates, your the best.
order date 3/13 at the dealer 4/17.

Hi Deysha. I sent you a couple PM's this week. Just trying to see if you could verify that my order was clean and what my priority number was. If I don't have a good priority number, I was going to contact me dealer to see if I could get it changed before the production scheduling batch runs tonight. Thanks.

Our Shelby is sitting in Chicago right now. (Hopefully it's not flooded out with all the rain they received overnight!) As much as I would love to have the car right now I hope it gets stalled! Just because there is STILL salt on the roads....
