My Shelby GT-500 was due in on Aug 29, but it has not arrived. We had info that said the car was at the ramp in Winston-Salem, but just got word late today the car is still at the factory and there is a "hold" on its shipment. Info came from district rep to my Ford dealer. This is a little reminiscent of waiting for the TBirds in fall 2001.

A bunch of cars were held for an inspection with the clutch. The vast majority seem to have been found servicable. Just Ford being very careful with the rollout, I hope

1 Bullit, I didnt realize yo uhad a Shelby on order. I must have missed a post about it. What are you getting for specs? Did you get the AMD raping or were you treated with a respectable MSRP raping ? 
You must be chomping at the bit to get that thing home

I don't know about this one.....
[quote=1 BULLITT]T88, D3, 854, GW, 68S. The "hand shake areement" is for invoice plus +/- $1,700, whatever 50% of the margin between invoice and MSRP is.
Why Mr. Bullitt, don't you know one can go to hell for lying? I'd be very suspicious of whom I was shaking hands with. No pom poms for you! (Which, by the way, someone removed from the list of emoticons yet again. Tsk Tsk Tsk. No sense of humor)

I shook hand with the sales manager, the one I have purchased five Mustangs from at great prices and the one who has received over 40 sales leads from me and has cashed in on at least 17 or 18 of them.
If he betrays the trust, the dealer stands to lose a lot more than I, long term that is. They'd join other greedy Ford dealers which have lost customers for the rest of their miserable existence.
Eventually I'll get what I want, I always do. Perhaps even a better deal.

It's now Sept. 14 and there's not been another word about my Shelby GT-500 convertible. Last word a couple of weeks ago was it was "on hold" at the Plant. Car was produced, etc. Had been scheduled to be delivered on 8/29. This is getting discouraging, and I confess to being impatient. Has anyone any further word since the last postings on this topic??

Snow will by flying here soon & since Ford recommends the Shelby's are not driven in under 40deg f temps without replacement of tires it looks like it will have to sit for 6 months or more before I even get to drive it!
