They are producing 5 cars per workweek (5 days M-F). They hit that metric earlier this year. My earlier response was a bit metaphorical. But....Multimatic will put out 90 cars in 90 workdays...that’s a fact. Any yes, I’ve seen the “wall of the first 100” pic at Multimatic. The factory tour was so cool. Handbuilt cars with 10 work stations.
Sold at Mecum 1.650 million. Looks like the flippers will be coming out of the wood work. At the beginning of the auction it was brought to everyones attention that a judge declared that this car could be sold thru mecum. The is America you can buy and sell what ever you want...
Actually the Judge said Ford's issue is with the flipper not Mecum. People like this give America a bad name IMO.
However at 1.8mil for basically a stripper, Joey do we still need to wait the full 90 days to discuss?
Rumor has it the owner (flipper) is an 80+ year old with terminal cancer and wasn't concerned about repercussions from Ford. Anyone verify this story?
2018 Q1 January - March. Nil Ford GT's sold to the Public through Dealers in Canada and Europe (30 Countries).
Trust Ford UK Delivered 1/12/18 Barrie Ford Canada Delivered 1/29/18 Jason Watt delivered in Denmark 1/25/18 Switzerland J036 GT 3/12/18 J031 Belgium Delivered 3/12/18 Anthony Beltoise Ford France Delivered 3/14/18 J039 Polito Ford Canada Delivered 3/20/18 etc, etc. "But how is this possible? The report says...." It barely takes a cursory check of widely available internet media to figure this stuff out.
I consider Instagram and Facebook mainstream websites, and you can pretty much find a public European or Canadian delivery on them every week. Point being, whatever source you've looked at is obviously not relevant to actual deliveries.

potentially stupid question: I see some cars listed as Hxxx and some as Jxxx. I'm assuming that's a model year designation?
Thanks for the additional data. Mainstrean European websites has not released April 2018 data as yet. Ironically US GoodCarBadCar which tabulated all 139 cars sold in the US has no listings for Canada. Scanning the latter part of the Ford GT Forum and Autogespot shows 15 cars to date sold outside the USA.
That US data is also not useful. I log cars periodically on the forum when I get motivated to enter in a batch, not real time. Polito Ford (Ontario) has delivered 5 GTs. Twin Hills Ford (Ontario) has delivered 1 GT. Barrie Ford (Ontario) has delivered 1 GT. Capitol Ford (Regina) has delivered 1 GT (October 2017). Baril Ford (Quebec) has delivered 1 GT (November 2017). J088 (Alberta) was delivered this month. These Canadian cars clearly do not show up in any reports.
Beats me. Clearly some don't realize there's a difference between SALES and Cars PRODUCED. The stuff people will get into a peeing match over on the internet never ceases to amaze. But it IS entertaining.
Really? Well in this case every car is already "pre- sold" until it's delivered. Then it's officially "sold" by the dealerships. No cars -- no real sales. Some however would like to talk about "their gut feeling" rather than actual statistics. I'd be fine to admit good car/ bad car is wrong... if someone would actually show a real statistic proving they are wrong.
I think at this point it's clear to everyone but you that cars that are produced, shipped, paid for the customer and delivered to the customer do not show up immediately in these sales reports. That is not a "gut feeling," it's really an easily observable fact. I should clarify that it's easily observable to most. It doesn't take any special internal knowledge to arrive at this conclusion, just eyes and even the most rudimentary ability to observe. "What should we believe, the explanation of a corporate officer at FMC or a guy with 60,000 posts on FerrariChat?" "Prolly the guy on FerrariChat. He seems legit."
