If anyone was ever wondering if you could get a base model 2020 GT500 with painted OTT stripes, wonder no more.
I have found 2, but only one has a window sticker.

So the car travels 40 miles one way to get the stripes painted on after some assembly/paint and then back into the production line, correct?

It looks like the car is painted and ready to go and is then trucked over to Penske for the stripes. I assume the car is clear coated over the stripes at Penke's, but I don't know for sure. If Ford is still using the Ford 3-Wet paint technology, the clearcoat is part of the original paint job.

From what I read, the stripes are being clear coated at Penske's and then brought back to go through the assembly line for transmission/engine and suspension.
Not sure how true that is, just what I read.
For 10k, those stripes better be perfect. Damn. lol

I don't think that is true, Look at 0001 & 0020 both of them are shown as complete cars less stripes. Both cars still had the base wheels from the line and that would be good for transportation and any overspray encountered during the painted stripe process. Remember, the vinyl stripes are the last step in the production process, so it makes sense to have the painted stripes done last.

Here is a picture of VIN 0001, (Craig Jackson).
Painted Side Stripe and White Stripe W/Yellow Accent missing.



VIN 0001 going down the line without stripes.





This is the Venom colored car VIN 0020
Painted Black OTT Stripes missing.

I immediately had the same thought...dear God that car will be UG lee. What a pity, white to match the '68 sure would have looked more better. Even black...but YELLOW? Yuck.

VIN 001 is effing gross.

Good Lord!
