Most all of us received the owners manual, car cover, trickle charger, air compressor. Some of us received the special GT hardcover book. My dealer sent me a DVD with the GT book.

I'm with you on that one Dave.... the extra 'fluffy' bits were never any part of my decision to buy.
I think I got the cover, there's a bag under the hood with something in, I haven't opened it. There's what looks like an air compressor - and I think that's it.

The DVD is a copy of the TV ad's Titled "The Ford GT". There is a red GT on the cover of the DVD and what looks to be a dark blue or black GT with all the doors and hoods in the open poition on the back. There are 4 different segments on the DVD. 1st is an introduction 30 sec TV spot called a teaser, 2nd is a spot called "The One - 60 seconds, 3rd is called "The making of the one", and 4th is called Performance Trilogy". On the face of the DVD it says Ford TV Television.

It does not say who produced the dvd. I'm guessing it was a Ford produced dvd since I received it from the dealer that sold me the GT. Maybe it was given to the dealers as a promo? The photo on the cover of the dvd is the photo shown on the link posted above for the "The One" 60 second commercial.

Yes, John Titus narrates a compressed owner's manual for the car. It is well done and by the way, it stresses the need to let the car warm up properly given the dry sump oil system. Letting it warm up also helps an occasionally stiff 1-2 shift.
Titus also referrences--and holds up a copy of--- the hardcover book all owners should have received from their dealers.
If you think these items are a nominal issue, try seeing what they will cost you on Ebay.
The issue here is one of professionalism. If the car is supposed to come with a cover, a trickle charger, an owner's manual, a dvd and a book: then for God's sake, and $160k, give the buyer what he or she is supposed to get. It is completely tacky to take such items.
Ford customer service should also get its act together and know what the story is when owners call....they are nice people, but they don't have a clue. If Ford was heads up, they would scan sites like this regularly and occasionally post a "PR dept. blessed" bit of info.
No question, Ford has some fine engineers---I love my GT. But their current market cap--which is the same as Harley Davidson's --even though they are 35 times as big in revenue--and the way they handle something like this, suggest they don't have a lot of 'business' people.

I received a trickle charger as did my friend (serial #s 1111 & 1112) these are US cars. The hard cover books were sent to the dealers months in advance when they received their allotment and It was up to them to turn it over. If the car was not ordered to spec by the customer but instead by the dealer for sure they would not have handed it over. However the book can be ordered from Ford for approx. $125.00. We never recived a CD.

This is too darned confusing-
so, the above mentioned compressed owner's manual DVD, narrated by John Titus, is a Ford-produced item, but not intended to be included with delivery? How do dealers get their hands on them? Can they be ordered? They have no item number on them? :shrug
I also got a trickle charger (but had to buy my book on eBay!!)
