Thinking of getting a coupe but was wondering what the lead time is from FFR?
Thanks,
Martin

Not a coupe, but my 289 roadster ordered on 3/4/22 has a completion date of 12/17/22. About 10 months, not sure if that applies to the coupe or even current orders.

Ordered a coupe 5/27/22 completion 1/21/23 so 8 months for mine. Though I would just reach out and ask as a lot could have changed.

Just ordered my coupe on 10/11/22 and the completion date for mine is 5/15/23, so ~7 months for me.

I'm kind of curious about racingandfishing and marshallmosty's builds. I ordered my coupe June 3rd, 2022 (Coyote, IRS + center section spindles and hubs, single shocks*, 13" OEM brakes* [*for now] plus various other components). Put in a future delivery date of mid-October as me and my father were in the process of rebuilding the shop my grandfather built; Figured that would be around the time we would have everything back together. Paid for the kit on the last week in September. Got a call from Stewart a week ago they would be picking up the kit in a few days and to expect delivery sometime the week after Thanksgiving (Driver will call with date). For me it will be just shy of 6 months for the main kit, and whatever is currency on backorder.

Ordered back in April 2022, build scheduled for Dec 22. I’m probably going to make the call to push mine back a few months though.

I ordered a base kit with IRS, spindles, lower control arms, etc. I checked recently and they said it is still scheduled for late January. Guess I should have put a future date like you did instead of just submitting the order without one. Maybe I would've gotten it earlier.

I clicked the "I would like it earlier" button so not sure on the timeline they gave you. Maybe they had a recent cancellation and they gave you that slot instead of shifting other folks around. The fall season is busy for me because my middle son is in high school and is in the marching band and my wife and I are super involved with all things marching band... I know, I'm a band nerd, LOL.

A late January arrival for me worked better than smack dab in the the middle of football/marching season.

For posterity's sake, here is my order sheet:

Complete Kit
Ultra-Lite Gauges
302/351 Engine Trans Mount Kit
351W Headers
31 spline driveshaft
Body Cutouts
Standard Black Vinyl Seats
Power Steering Kit
Front Lower Control Arms - Standard Width
3-Link Rear Suspension
A/C Kit
Windshield Wipter Kit
Carpet Kit
14" Wheel Upgrade
Side Windows
Front Swaybar Kit
EFI in-tank fuel system
Hydraulic clutch


I did reach out to Stewart this week and got the transportation bit worked out and paid so now it's just hopefully T-minus 8 weeks and counting... but whose counting, LOL!!

All my quotes and order updates had the the October timeframe. Inquired about lead times and moving to an ASAP order when I made the change to a T-56 transmission, but as you stated asap orders are based on cancellations as well as the similarity of the orders.
