I have to say, I'm pleasantly surprised with my dealer after some of the horror stories told on here. My dealer emailed me yesterday to tell me that my car will get its VIN on Monday. It helps that he loves mustangs, but I didn't expect him to be proactive regarding updates to the car. Didn't expect that.

Sounds like a plan. Waiting for an update Monday to see if there is any change in the build date.

Where are you located in the US?

Well, we're "neighbors" in spirit at least.....I'm in Santa Clara,CA..next door to San Jose.

My salesman emailed me the Vehicle History for the car and it went into production on the 8th, and was in the Body Shop on the 11th. Guess it's in a hurry to get done!

I was told by a guy for the SVT 800# that it takes them 18 hours at full steam to build the shelby. Not sure if thats true. I would think it should be complete soon

The build date slipped to 11 June. A two week change from 28 May. Oh well, I guess 2 weeks isn't that bad. Hope to have the car before the Fall. Regards.

Well if it helps, I don't have a build date yet

Either way, it will certainly be worth the wait. I'm pretty sure.

I am jealous of all of you who either have a build date, or an already produced Shelby. I placed my (confirmed) order on 23 March and not only do I not have a build date yet, but also not even a VIN!!! And, of course, my dealer ensures me that I have their first allocation! I guess I should take comfort in the fact that some of you are seeing movement and hope that Deysha gives me some good news soon.

I'm in the same boat, and if it helps my dealer told me this past Friday that yesterday would be when the factory picks it up. I should have a VIN this week. If you ordered the same time, you will probably be getting one either this week or at the latest, next week. I'm expecting a build date around the 2nd week of June and a delivery by early to mid-August. That works well for me because it's another two months' worth of salary I can tuck away for the down payment.

Anyone else receive similar info this week?
My gt500 was built 5-9-12 (last wed ). ON 5-11-12 (last fri) records showed TBD N Transit. Customer service told me today on the phone N Transit meant its left the plant.(todays date 5-15-12) My dealership just sent email to me that he saw the same info but the last gt500 they recieved said "SHIPPED RAIL" when it was on the way.

I talked to SVT guy today he said it could be 2-3 weeks till it ships because they have to fill up the train first. As of now mine is just sitting there waiting to be shipped. I can't wait to get my butt in that seat
