Does anyone know the name of the transporter who ships the GT's for Ford? Thanks in advance.

I'm not 100% sure who takes them from Wixom, but I know locally they are transported between SSV and Wixom by Hazen.

Reliable Carriers has the contract to deliver all US GTs from Wixom to the dealers. I found the Reliable people to be most helpful when I called them directly and inquired about delivery status. All they wanted was my VIN and ultimately they ended up calling the driver to get a precise delivery time. As a result, I just happened to be at the dealership when the big orange truck arrived.

Display car servies use to deliver them from SSV to Ford and then back out to the US... Now Hazen like stated does and so does reliable to customers...

Reliable is who took our car back to the factory and who will be returning it to us in Atlanta. They have the Ford contract. They are very owner-friendly, but they are also very busy and not always immediately available; a sure sign of success in America.

Our car is now complete, and we only await receiving it at this end. We are keeping our fingers crossed that a Reliable transport will be available before the weekend.

eShrink,

Glad to hear your car is complete and will be "home" soon.

Lets try to have an Atlanta area get together when your car returns: Myself, Kirby, Tungsten, White Petunia and CallChuck (did I miss anyone?).

Eric:

Well, the car may come the middle of next week, but then again, we were certain that it would come toward the end of this week.

The folks at Reliable, at the way to the top, are extremely nice and accomodating. They stay on top of things and were meticulously careful with our car.

On a positive note, we certainly have not accrued any miles on the car.
