Just got back from the mid-west barn toting a little extra firepower. Nodrama hooked me up with some of his buddies at his local Ford dealership back in June and I ordered a '13 Shelby. Got the call Monday that it was in transit and I made it up there just in time to get to see it being unloaded when it arrived at the dealership. We also had a good visit, and started work on the '85 FHP again.

Good times!

Congrats Mike! That's a great addition to the collection, you are extremely lucky to have actually gotten the '13 Shelby you ordered. It looks like a lot of dealers aren't getting allocations they've sold, and people are being refunded their deposits.

I just added a Green '13 Boss 302 to mine, if they had made the Shelby in the green I would have ordered one :)

Very nice! I was never a big fan of silver, but I've grown to really like that color on the new body style (same color as my GT/CS). Now go break-in that engine and get some ET's at the track! :p

It was PERFECT timing.....We drove thru the dealers lot at 0915 and the car wasn't there. We then went over to the beater brush......LOL.....car wash so I could run my Cobra through and get the 1/4 inch of dust and bugs off the car. Mike was pretty overwhelmed at the sounds of the car wash tentacles smacking the car with such authority. :) We left there and headed north thru the township to give my daughters cat some antibiotics and when we were halfway there my phone blew up with salesmen and managers calling me to let me know the car had arrived. Did a quick yewy and blasted back to the dealership in time to video it being unloaded.

Mike it was nice seeing you again even though the turnaround time was fast and furious to say the least. Glad you got it all back to Texas in one piece !

My buddy that owns the dealership here did me/Mike a humongus favor on the car. They have another one on order that they very well may not get. Had Mike waited another week to pull the trigger on this one he would have been the one with the order still "on hold". More perfect timing.

I really like the changes to the 2013's. Mike I will get the FMS spring number for you so you can get out of 4x4 mode..... ;)

Congrats on the Boss! Cool cars, and I looked at the GHIG one they had on the floor here. Very nice.

The dealer Jim hooked me up with was pretty squared away. Well worth the drive, since I was able to order exactly what I wanted and there wasn't any ADM BS to deal with. Several here are tacking on 20K and are selling them at that price. :No no:
