There used to be a way.  Security measures have changed, so your dealer will have to do it unless you are in some industry with trace capabilities or know someone with them.  A shame, cuz i really enjoyed that part of my 2008 gt500 purchase.  This time I don't care.  Lets just say my Shelby buying excitement has been ruined by past experiences.  I still love my cars, just not the effort it takes to get it built.

True, I used to be able to track any car with the VIN when it hit the rail yard, but I can only track my orders now.  Frankly, the rail information is only FRUSTRATING at best.  I watched my personal car on a daily (if not hourly) basis for three weeks, and while some days it would move steadily towards its home, others it would sit idle... making the wait nearly unbearable.  In retrospect, I think it better to just one day get a call saying "ITS HERE"!

Shame for sure, the order/buying experience should be exciting.

Yeah, I can see where tracking it like that would drive a person nuts.   I think I will just relax and enjoy the anticipation of the arrival.
