While it's great that the Shelby GT enthusiasts are excited about the information provided here on the forums, there are a few matters that should be noted.

 

Ford Motor Company has not yet released any official information to the dealers about the upcoming Shelby GT model. There's no Shelby GT Order Guide or Shelby GT Price List available at this time and no dealers have been informed yet about production volume or allocation.

 

While the Ford CONCEPS Vehicle Ordering System will accept a Shelby GT order with the information provided via Amy, until Ford releases the official Shelby GT Order Guide to its dealers, vehicles are being ordered without full knowledge of option availability and/or compatibility.

 

And while the enthusiasts are excited to have the information provided by Amy, it does a disservice to the Ford dealer body which can only deal with Ford Motor Company. We have to order vehicles directly through Ford utilizing the materials, processes, information, specifications and allocation provided by Ford.

I really don't have a problem with Shelby or Amy making the information available. My problem is with Ford in not providing the necessary information to its dealers on a timely basis.

 

It's no secret that Ford and its dealers are struggling to turn things around. Ford has a lot of work to do to improve its relationships with the dealer body and realize that the dealers are its first customers! Ford dealers are working hard to put the customer first and deliver real customer satisfaction. I'm confident that Alan Mulally, Ford's new CEO, will turn things around and create a stronger and more profitable company and dealer body that will be the envy off all others.

Ford Division finally released a statement to dealers yesterday including the information and order codes for the Shelby GT! Included were the Shelby GT Information Packet, Shelby GT Owner's Guide Supplement, Amendment to the New Vehicle Limited Warranty Form. Also... allocation, invoicing, distribution, shipping, delivery, service and warranty procedures.
