Brian....My signature page also shows the White no-strip vehicle..so I assume all the books are the same.

So what is this? A replacement for the black box with the color chips or a new thing as well as? I’ve placed my order and paid my deposit but haven’t received a black box or anything else. I did get some very special treatment while I was in Detroit early in the year so I’m not complaining, but I do want all these awesome things that tell the story of the GT!

^^^ Welcome, your 1st post. I have a feeling you will get all of the items we have gotten. Seems like for many things have happened a bit out of order (color selection kits come after ordering for instance). If you are wondering about the delivery of these items, perhaps give your concierge a call. They might be able to give you an estimate.

I got my book yesterday. Pleasantly surprised, as my build spot is still quite far away

Some great swag!

Bakaz,

Welcome to the Forum and congratulations on your getting a new GT allocation. The book is in addition to the color chip CF case and you’ll get both. Where do you live and tell us about your GT order.

My package arrived yesterday. Made mine and Susan's day. Better believe it will be making it to the Thanksgiving family gathering so everyone can check it out. I'm going to enjoy every minute of this because I know this is a once and a life time experience.

As an FYI, the black thing with the "GT" logo is a folder. I thought is was packing material on top of the book. Took 3 times looking to realize this (and a phone call from Vince H)

Let this act as official record that I, Vince Hott, finally knew more about a GT related subject than Specracer. This will never happen again .. .. .. .. It's going to be a good day.

Thanks Chip.

I live in New Zealand, one of two coming down here. I placed my order in June with freeze date in August but this was pushed back to early November, was really keen on a 2017 heritage especially with the NZ connection to the car but by that stage none were available. They offered me an 18 heritage but really wanted black, so ended up going with gloss black car with exposed carbon fibre and carbon wheels in matte, titanium exhaust and nuts, leather steering wheel, Dark energy upgrade interior, read callipers and harness brackets.

Delivery is expended in Feb-March 2018 (in LA not NZ) its going to be a tough few months as I’m already struggling to sleep………….

Well that’s pretty exciting. With only two NFGT’s down there are you concerned about getting adequate service? My son Charley and I were down there for a few weeks last summer and we had a blast. Love NZ. It’s the friendliest place I’ve ever been to.

One of our Forum members & a neighbor of mine moved to NZ 9 years ago. He took his '05-06 GT & had 2 years to convert it to right drive or park it. Is that still the case?

Australia doesn’t allow left hand drive cars but I saw quite a few in New Zealand. The GT’s converted to right hand drive in Australia were amazingly well done. Must have cost a fortune.
