2007 GT500 Numbers and Order Date

Re: GT500 Numbers and Order Date

I have not lost interest but I am awaiting more details on the modified Mustangs that will be offered by Shelby Autos. I want to buy the most "Shelby" car for my money.

Re: GT500 Numbers and Order Date

Newbie here. At least for posting. Been reading for a while.

Anyway, were those numbers for just coupes, or for both coupes and convertibles? If both, any idea of the breakdown between the two?

 

I wonder if they are allowing the dealers to order it the way they want it, hard top or drop top. Meaning, 7500 will be built and the breakdown will be determined by the orders placed.

I've been dealing with my local dealership for years, mostly trucks for my business. The Sales Manager told me they are getting one for sure, and there was talk of maybe getting another due to being in the Presidents Club, or whatever. I'm #2 on their list, behind the owners son I believe.

You said every dealer will get one, but does that mean only one? I trust the sales guys I deal with down there, but even they admit that I usually know more about the vehicles I buy than they do.

Oh, I haven't been following what Shelby is doing. I was a little intrigued by the Foose Mustang from Unique Performance. They're claiming 462 Hp.

 

Hey, thanks for helping out a newbie. I have done business with some really small town dealers. I might hit one of them up, as well.

What are your thoughts on the Foose Mustang? I'm interested mainly because I watch Overhaulin' all the time. Love that show.

 

Will do.

Not to be a P.I.T.A., but my last question is if you know what the color choices are. I haven't been able to find anything online. I'm hoping the March Order Date rumor is true, not the June one.

 

Why couldn't I find that myself??? Thank you.

Now I'm really jazzed. I was afraid they wouldn't offer Tungsten Grey.

You made my day.

 

Craven we do have Ford dealers here in Canada every dealer I have talked to says they will get at least one . How rare will the kilometer speedo equiped cars be .

 

I think the red interior matches or contrasts well with every exterior colour, except for yellow.

Edit: this is the first time I've heard of a one per dealer limit. Frankly I don't buy it, it's not supposed to be a limited production car. Ford should try to meet demand, on the other hand they might try to meet it with a multi-year run...

 

From what I was told Only SVT Dealers in CANADA would be getting the Shelby, unlike Ford USA, which is apparently spreading them out to All Dealers? Canada won't see any Shelby Deliveries until at least September due to the Speedometer issue.

 

SVT dealers and Presidents Choice dealerships will be getting them in Canada from what i am hearing .This is also true for the Ford G.T in Canada and the GT's won't be here until fall either.When do the 07 Shelby's hit the showrooms in U.S.A?

 

i did the same thing as the other guy above did....i went down to my local dealer this morning (small country store) and asked if they had pre-sold their inbound shelby. the salesman smiled and said "it's funny you ask, because we were talking about that car this morning.....hang on a minute" he came back a few minutes later and said that it wasn't spoken for yet. i told him that i'd only be interested in it if i could get it at sticker, and he said fine......i'm waiting for the owner to put something in writing, and i'll be giving them a deposit this afternoon. they don't know yet if it will be a fastback or a conv't. i wasn't planning on owning one of these, but i figure i can't go wrong.

 

Sorry Mag, none to Presidents Choice Dealers.
Exclusive to SVT Certified Ford of Canada Dealers, in Canada, only.

 

I posted this on another forum, as well, so forgive me if you've read it already.

I made it to my dealer today and gave them my order specs. I have the printout from Concepts (I think that's the name of the ordering program). Now I just have to wait. I'm No. 2 on the list, and one of their Service people is first. I talked to the guy in service, gave him the codes for all the various choices, and he said he'll make his choice in the next day or two. The sales guys said they'll enter his order first, and mine right after that.

This dealer is a President's Choice Dealer. So, I assume they will get 2 GT500s. Here is my question:

Will they be able to get both vehicles at the same time, or will they have to wait until one is built for every dealer before getting their second? My sales guy and the Sales Manager seem to think that they will have to wait for the second car. They said that was the case when the T-Birds came out. Neither of these two were aware that ordering information was even on their system yet for the GT500, so I'm not sure if they are right or wrong.

Can anyone give any insight to this?

 

I'll ask around and find out what I can as I work for a Ford Dealer, but if it's anything like it was when the T-birds first came back then the dealers will not get to "order" them, they just get sent a car or two and have to sell what they get sent.
