"Just read that an MCA email went out claiming over 50,000 2005 Mustang have been ordered so far (car isn't even shipping yet). Can someone else verify this, not that I don't trust MCA (Mustang Club of America).
That's a lot of Mustangs and a lot of the public hasn't even seen it yet "
Can anyone confirm this? I wouldn't doubt it.

Dan,
I think that dealers have ordered about 50,000 cars for their supplies,
you figure about 500 Ford dealers across north america, each dealer orders an average of 10 Mustangs.
Not every one of those cars has been purchased by someone yet.
I would think less than 8000 have been ordered by enthusiats like on this site.

In USA Today on September 1st, Ford claims there have been more than 200,000 people who have supplied personal information to get brochures. So 50,000 orders to date seems realistic.

I pulled that number out of the air, just did it to demonstate a point.
Each dealer has allocation of 5-10 units for the first run, doing the math, that comes awfully close to 50K
OT.. I will be visiting my local Ford dealer's parts department today, I will stroll into the showroom as well just to see if I can make a deal on the spot.

I think he meant 5000 dealers. :scratch:
I really don't know how many dealers there are nationwide.

I forgot to add a zero
kevin should know how many dealers there are, I think he said around 5000

Steve, I agree. I was guessing around 5-8000 orders from enthusiasts.

Bek, Kevin, of your respective allocations, how many have been pre-sold? With those numbers we can estimate how many orders might have already gone to enthusiasts like ourselves!

Don't forget that there a various sized dealerships. Although some may get an allocation of ten (or more) there are others that only get two to start, then later (who knows how long) it's wide open. Everyone's getting different answers at this point.

I wouldn't be surprised if the 05 mustang has surpassed the 50k mark. you must remember, we now have camaro and firbird boys having interest in mustangs, thats a whole new customer market. Not to mention the ricer market that somehow has a new found respect for the 05. the interest in the 05 isnt limited to veterans like us anymore.
