Thank you Nick and Mike Anderson

I'm thankful for the opportunity to have purchased my 2020 GT500 from you. Yesterday was a great day.

For anyone here that doesn't know Nick, his family runs a Ford dealership in Excelsior Springs, Missouri. I had the pleasure of meeting Nick and his father there yesterday and left with an Oxford White beast. I'm still a zombie after spending more than a day traveling there and back to Upstate, NY. I was in a hurry to beat some nasty weather and it somehow worked as planned. I'll share more after some cognitive function returns but this was how it played out in a nutshell.

The car was manufactured a couple of months ago at the Flat Rock plant.

Once produced, it sat there for about a month. It finally shipped via railcar to the Voltz yard in Missouri where it then had a "Hold" placed on it from Ford meaning it would be a prisoner there for some time. After another month of sitting, Nick was successful in getting mine and another member's car out of there and to his dealership. Shots from the prison yard...

I planned on flying in and driving home some time ago but the delays here pushed me from November to the end of December to mid January. Mother nature had to cooperate as there was no way I was driving home (1,000 miles from MO to NY) in snow or on ice. I saw a two day window where temps looked to be either right at freezing or slightly above so I quickly got a ticket and flew out yesterday, early in the morning. When I landed there was snow on the ground at the airport but some afternoon sun turned much of it to water. Anyway, it was a good day, albeit a long one. Nick and his father made it one of the most enjoyable buying experiences of my lifetime.

Above all I wish you good health. Then I wish you would finish up that Fox, that idle, love it. Congrats on the GT500 and great color combo.

congrats TOB

enjoy the ride, this is your third Shelby as I recall! I'm still with my first :)

just saw the surgery news - be well and best for good health
 
Thanks all.

And yup, third one and I'm guessing my last so it better be the best!

I heard the 2025 will have 900rwhp and put down 1800 lbs of downforce....

Also, still waiting to hear back from the GT500 team on the front license plate bracket and adjustable camber plates.
 
Nooooooooo!!!!!!

And thanks Nick. I just saw somone post that their plates showed up at the parts depatment and he picked his car up just before me but down in Texas. A Base car with Handling Package.
 
FYI the caster camber plates show up in a box thru the parts department, but in my case, no name, no VIN, nothing. Parts department guy was like wtf is this ?

he came out to the showroom and asked around, and my salesman opened the box and said oh those must go with Dave’s car.
 
I know the plates should come through the parts department but to date they haven't showed up. I was in there with Nick at delivery when he grabbed the cover I ordered and his parts guy had it.

The plates should be in a box with a label on it that shows what VIN it is "married to." Here's one that shows the VIN it should be paired with...note the last digits of the VIN after "Y- Release"...

The answer I'm getting from FP is that they were supposed to be in the car, but were accidentally left out of A LOT of cars. Still waiting to hear how I can get you this mysterious box.
