Around 6/8 weeks in all for the boat to get here. Then, if all goes well, another couple of weeks for it to be delivered to Shelby Distribution. This extra couple of months of "transit" time is NOT disclosed to buyers unit after weeks of anguish causing near mental breakdowns! NOW YOU KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT.
Maybe things have changed or they handle the Shelby brand sales differently, but most dealers do not require you to pay the full price just to order a car. Once the car lands in the US, you should have the opportunity to inspect/accept the car. I put a down payment on mine, then paid the balance upon delivery.

The lead time for a CSX car is always going to be longer...it adds to the mystery and legend of the brand.
