If the dealers committed to 75 cars, that is something else all together.
I don't know exactly how the Shelby Dealer body is laid out, but in the past they have shown a collective inaptitude to sell a lot less than that.
I think there are a couple dealers who are doing a bang up job; the others play with a few cars a year. Otherwise we would all know their names.
75 cars leaving the factory is just that, dealers promise and agreement to sell them.
We do it all the time. I have 330 cars and truck on the ground as we speak. The fact that they left the factory doesn't mean they're SOLD.
They are not sold until they are sold. They are now considered inventory. Like 200 -day supply-.

I am not saying Shelby couldn't sell 75 in short order.
If they market it right and the CAV is a good car, they can sell that and then some. Not in two days. NEVER!

There are NOT that many qualified buyers out there, Especially ones that are flush and can buy one without having to sell their existing car.
