According to what I was told 10 days or so ago, I ought to have mine right about now. But, I don't so far.
No biggie. It'll get here.

I haven't heard a word and the final charge hasn't shown up on my credit card so it must not be done yet. They said two to three weeks about three weeks ago.

Funny thing is one of the heritage cars is out on Ebay already saying its #2 of a run of 40.

What gets my shorts in a wad is that someone at Saleen is selling these at $1,100

http://cgi.ebay.com/Ford-GT-40-wall-hanger_W0QQitemZ160094249102QQcategoryZ418QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

and those of us that are paying for them haven't received their yet. I think I will give Saleen a call today.

Nothing pisses me off more than all these people running around bullshitting about GT memorabilia :bored Everything is "one of 30" or "ultra-rare!" when people who know know this stuff is readily available. Sad thing is, most of these people worked on the car, and they know better.

Maybe he is factually correct if they run them in batches of 40, then it could be 2 of 40.

But before you go nuts its still a rip off claiming it they way its posted. But to the non-GT owner it may help sell the stuff.

I talked to them and was told they are doing one color at a time. Heritage was the first. I am waiting for a black one and was told two weeks. This was last Thursday.

I don't care if someone wants to make a buck if they get it for 900 and want to flip it....what torque's me is this group made a large purchase and I shouldn't see these on ebay until I have both halves of mine in my garage!

This is a repeat post from the original thread, but I copied it here as I think this is more applicable.

Has anyone received the GT wall model? Mine came today by FedEx. It was badly damaged in Shipping. I think Saleen did an inadequate job of packaging, actually an inexcusable job of packaging.:thumbsdow FedEx didn't help but it needed to be packed such that it can withstand falling off the back of a truck, becuase it is likely that it will, and in this case, did. I will call them tomorrow and let them know that they need to do something different if there is any hope of them arriving undamaged.

yea, i got mine
the 1/4 panel is cracked, the mirror is bruised(badly), the rear tire is all marked up and bent.
the cover was off in the fed-ex truck, the carton was crushed and ripped in many places and there was not one stitch of packing material.
i took a dozen pictures and sent them to mike zilinski and kyle.
they called me back and said they would let me know the outcome 2morrow.
i'm so angry about this. there is no excuse for this.
here are some pictures, i will let you all know the outcome !!!

I might as well chime in. I got mine today, and the side mirror was cracked along with the structure where it attaches. Both wheels had the paint scratched off. No question, horrible job of packing!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :bs

Mine hasn't shipped yet as I best as I can tell. I sent Kyle a preemptive email regarding their poor packing. If more items arrive damaged, I'm tempted to cancel my order. Ain't got time to jack with insurance claims or Saleen. This should be a clean, simple, pain free deal. Sorry to Sam and Craig. Thanks for notifying the rest of us. AC

Mine is damaged as well

Very poor packaging job by Saleen.......plus I was told last Friday delivery when they called me on last Wed......Did not come on Friday (wife home all day to sign for it)., nor Saturday, nor Monday (which I took off work to be home to sign......then Kyle tells me that it was shiipped 5-day FedEx to save money.....shoudn't he have said this on that prev Wed when he called? Not a happy camper....expected WAY MORE from Saleen. When you try and call them in Michigan all you get is voice mail.....unbelievable customer service. They do call you back, but can't I talk to a real person when I call? I want fast answers.......not a pleasant experience as I had anticipated. Forget replacement, I want damage compensation. I'm not going through that waniting around to sign again.....especially when I was told when it would be there. Chris

Wall art resolution?

Has anyone else received their "wall art" from Saleen since the first few damaged ones? I haven't heard a peep from them. Has anyone resolved the poor packing - damaged in shipping issues? Just curious as this thread died a couple of weeks ago.

I posted SOMEWHERE on this thread(?) (or someplace !) that Kyle called me last Friday and said mine had been shipped out that day. He also said it was shipped in a wood crate via FedEx.

I'll pbly have it by this Friday I would imagine. 'Will post it's condition.

i spoke with kyle and his boss yesterday at lenght
they are rushing like crazy to get the 7 damaged units replaced.
as per the conversation, most of the replacement items should be shipped sometime next week in wooden crates.
they are also working hard trying to figure out how to get the damaged units sent back to them.
from what i heard, this whole matter should be resolved in a short period of time.
one last comment--saleen feels really and truly bad about this entire mess. they seem to be taking it to heart.
i think we should commend them and remember that even with this major cluster f---, saleen is doing the right thing and standing behind their name----BRAVO !!!
