Ordered Mine Today
Just hung up the phone today with the dealer and finished placing an order for my Shelby GT. No, I don't know what MSRP will be yet, but I am talking Amy B.'s word that it'll be somewhere in the $35K range.
I went with the following:
Black
Manual
IUP
Dark Charcoal Interior
Shaker 500
Anti Theft
Lockable wheels
Sirius
Allow me a moment to stroll down memory lane a bit...When my Dad was 37 years old he saw a magazine ad for a New car from Ford called the Mustang and decided he had to have one. He bought his 1964 1/2 V-8 in Black and it was the last car he ever owned.
My earliest memories are riding around in that car and I have been hooked on Mustangs ever since---but never bought one until now.
There was never a choice for me I had to go with black. And, oh yeah...I just turned 37 years old.
I'm fairly excited. Dealer told me that Job 1 is December 4th
Now I've just got to save my pennies for that S/C.

Congrats! I hope you get it soon. 
When you have a chace go back to the dealer and play a couple of your favorite CDs on a Mustang that has the Shaker 1000.

Way to go on the order!! Love to hear how your dad inspired you. Every time you start that car up you will think of him. I own a white 65' fastback that was purchased by my uncle new and I have owned it since 1971. I want a new Shelby GT also, but am waiting for all the bugs in the system to pass, before going to dealer to price. I need to know the exact price before I sign the dotted line.
I want a white one with silver stripes. I have often wanted to put stripes on my 65' and wanted them to be silver. The whole idea will be to have matching cars. I think Carroll Shelby has done a great job with this 07' Shelby GT. Love the way they ship it to Vegas factory, then you can pick it up there if you want. What a fun ride back to Nebraska that would be.
Amy B. I think you can relate to this post. The rumble of the engine when it starts takes on a new meaning. And it is time to smile! Thanks for coming to this site and posting info. If I make it to the Shelby factory and museum, can I stop and say hello.

Question: How will the vehicle be shipped?
Answer:
Vehicles will be drop-shipped from the Mustang factory (AAI) to Shelby Automobiles (SAI) Las Vegas for Shelby GT modifications
SAI will ship completed vehicle to dealer via car carrier, contracted by Ford Motor Company transportation services
The delivery time will vary based on logistical factors, estimated 6-8 weeks from AAI gate release through delivery to the dealer.

Your welcome Amy. Now go make us some Shelby's. Your team can do it. They have a good leader! Are you going to get to drive the first ones off the line? I think you should go out there and drive as many off the line as you can. And remember that smile when you hear the rumble upon starting each and every one..Memories last forever. Good luck with the production run. And remember to have some fun along the way. You guys are making history.

you know I tell my team all the time that they are part of History, and so is everyone who buys a shelby
On driving the cars, I drove the first GT-H off the line, I let the production guys drive off the rabbits, its their win, they should have the memories too. I have lots of memories and everyday I get another one. I speak to Carroll twice a day sometimes more, and these memories will last the lifetime.

What an honorable thing for you to do. Sounds like a great place to work. And great leadership. Maybe some day I will be buying a 2018 AB/GT Special. Somebody needs to caring the torch?? Could be you.

Does anyone know of somewhere I can find a Shelby GT 500 Order Sheet so I see what options there are if any? I am thinking of trading in my Mach for one, the dealer said they could order on for me if I want it!!!

Great to hear. I guess I will be heading to my dealer sometime this coming week to try to make my deal. Hope to see you in Vegas soon. Amy, how many do you guys figure you might be able to finish per week? How are the orders going on these cars? Will you be going to the Barrett Jackson auction?
