We had a friend (Showgun) who waited several months (like 4-50 for his car to show up at the dealer.

I'm still here alive and kicking...... Miss you guys..

Shotime99 -- 6 to 8 weeks is quite normal for delivery depending on many factors.
In my case the Japan earthquake held up an ingredient in the Red Candy paint resulting in a 5 month delivery...Imagine how I felt after that long wait.

Thankfully these guys helped me keep it together and I made it to the car's delivery intact. But that was a long wait -- I can tell you.

The dealer will be notified as the production dates as soon as the VIN is assigned so that you can better estimate the delivery to that dealer.

Dealers hate to do it but if you press them (nicely) they can stay in touch with BG and their schedule.

I'm guessing that the VIN has already been assigned and more info is available to a request.

Good luck -- log in here for assistance in keeping it together.
From experience it'll be well worth the wait and the guys here are great with sharing info and suggestions.

All the best and good luck,

Showgun (Colin) -- In Cambridge, Ontario, Canada.

thanks !!! any ya. this has been painfull!! hopefully the getting built on Monday part is true!

Glad to hear that it's at least scheduled.......
Shouldn't be too long after that.

Where you located Shotime99?
Colin.

I still believe we (the car buying public and the main source of Ford's $$) should push Ford for a user accessible tracking system so the buyer can follow this 24/7 and get explanations for delays online without asking... just by looking.  It won't control the tsunamis in Japan or the fire in Mexico, but might help the buyer handle the wait.  Maybe put it in the comments section every time a consumer satisfaction survey is done.

Glad you finally got a VIN... I hope it's smooth for you from here to delivery!

Its a terrible way of doing things... If they had told me 3-4 months I would have never done the deal. so they win that one for sure.. but then never knowing why its delayed bugs me for sure.

Cool -- I was thru your fair city in August on my way back from Van to home in Cambridge.
I enjoyed the trip a lot tho I did see some evidence of flooding in and around Calgary.

Keep us abreast of your SHO order. You're really going to like it.

ya it was a mess. good thing I live on the high ground.. only about a km from the river that flooded also..

did you drive the SHO for the trip?

pulled the trigger just now and ordered from Livernois the Black Friday special intake/tuner/t-stat package! Prolly wait a couple months at least to install them is probably the best.. since no car yet!

What a man!    Just take it home from the dealer, tune, zoom!!!!

No, Colin did not drive the SHO on the trip, he was driving his recently purchased 'Vette....he found a really sharp mid 90's Vette that was in incredible shape and got a heck of a deal on it.  So now he's a multi-Vette owner!

I got my car in August, and it took the guys till January to talk me into getting a tune...once I installed and drove the car, I kicked myself several times for waiting that long, it makes the car much more fun to drive.

LOL, indeed, you might call me vette poor... but at least I only have my pooches to answer to at home here. -- and they love them as much as I do, and yes including the SHO.
