Delivery of J0007

Hello All -

I received the call from the Ford GT team on setting up a delivery date/time for my new GT :biggrin

The call actually came as a surprise....my delivery was delayed from a Fall-2017 to a late Spring-2018....I wasn't expecting it so early in 2018. I'll know in a few days a firm date/time of when the fun will begin.

Now, I just wish it wasn't typical January weather here in Michigan late next week. I'm hoping for a delivery day heat wave so I can enjoy the GT for a little bit :)

Any tips or things to look out for while I take delivery?

*** UPDATE ***

J0007 is safe and sound at home here is SE Michigan. The whole delivery experience was simply awesome! From the sleepless night before to waiting for the Noon arrival of the Reliable big rig. The wait was totally worth it! Now I just need Spring to show up...STAT!!

I would like to thank Megan from the Ford GT Concierge team and the Delivery Specialist Steve Coates for a bang-up job on everything.

Congrats! But to your weather comment, (“Now, I just wish it wasn't typical January weather here in Michigan late next week.“), look at it this way. This year, it’s Michigan winter weather everywhere!

No one took 007 for 2017 or do they reset for each year?

No, there is a #0007 for 17. It's at FGTF WHQ.

Gentlemen,

Yes they reset every new model year. Raj told us he’d get serial #1 in the 2nd model year.

Thanks.

Congrats on the car!

First example of a visual change from MY17 to MY18. No more exhaust fins on base exhaust.
