No chucking here....I learned my lesson with my '93 coupe. It was taken home by a Ford exec, for quality control, and while I made the deal, they prepped it and threw out all of the documentation relating to that (posted in the window). I won't make that mistake again.

Looks like it's at the yard until Monday, before transfer to the dealership. I'll try to be there Monday when it arrives (I need to drop off my wife...she has a flight to catch at 230PM).

Congrats Mike and Michael! Nice rides. We saw Bullitt #93 here at the local dealership - will be interesting to see what #'s you all end up with! VERY exciting.

I can't wait. I think my number will be high 500s or somewhere in the 600s.

I've heard that s/n's in the 2300 range are showing up at dealers right now with production only about 4 weeks old. Using those numbers, I could end up with a s/n somewhere in the 5000-6000 range but that's just a guess at this point. Too many variables to know for sure.

Job 2 was at the beginning of December.

I'm not sure how they number these things...number 2246, very close to mine by VIN, was sold to a guy over on TMS. Then there are other VINs, equally close to me, in the low-mid 500 range.

I have seen lots of complaints from guys who ordered early on, like I did, and have been waiting for the cars to arrive, while cars ordered by the dealers for stock started hitting showrooms back in December. Numbers 3, 4, 7, and a couple of other low-numbered cars went this way (and some were on eBay).

Yeah, I'm sure there was some shenanigans involved with the early production units. But now that it's clear that these limited edition cars are not going to be bringing in any immediate big premiums, things have returned to some kind of normalcy. Still, the whole serial number scheme being employed seems to be a mystery. I personally don't care what number I end up with just as long as I get the car!

First...Dealers, like myself, submitted orders early with a Retail customer name attached. Then asked the Region to give top priority to the order. Based on several factors I can't put in print...dealers got their vehicles scheduled. The key is to place orders on the day the order bank will start accepting orders....then politic to get it pulled ASAP.


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.
