Second...It is my understanding that unlike Shelby, who could control the build one at a time, Bullitts are done in house by Ford, and no special priority was given to attaching the numbered plates to the strut brace in any sequence. My Bullitt arrived last week was number 6XX (i'm at home and don't recall the number)...but was probably built close to yours Mike.
David,

Are you saying that these dealers made up "retail" customer names in order to get these scheduled?

I'm with Mike C....not concerned about the number, just waiting for the car. Mine was built Jan 2, so part of the delay for me has been shipping. Looks like tomorrow may be the day.
