Bad News for those of you not scheduled
#101
I am really confused now about all of this also. I don't want to wait til April or May either when the 06's will be out in Sept. I don't know what to do, I just wish there was one on a lot that I could go get and be done with this whole ordering thing. :-(

Agreed - shame on Ford for screwing up again.
Please help! How does one find out the build date for their car? I ordered a V6 premium with manual and IUP.
My dealer only says it'll be done the end of January.
I have a DORA dated 11/24/04, priority 30 - is there anyone that can help me get a build date from the info on the DORA?
I am so enamored with the IUP, with or without MyColor, that I will seriously consider cancelling my order altogether if I can't get it. I'll go back to my original intent of getting a '67 Fastback.

And for the record, I'm miffed for all the people who haven't been pulled yet, mine is on a railcar headed my way, nevertheless, this looks like some real poor decision making by Ford.

Well I have my build date (week) of 1/10/05 (I hope this means I'm all clear!) but I still don't have a VIN? Is the dealer holding information from me?

You can't get a build date from the DORA. First, the dealer submits your order. Then Ford accepts that order and it goes in the dealer's order bank and waits to be pulled. Once it is pulled by Ford (always on Thursday nights, I think) it will get a VIN. THEN it gets a build WEEK, then a build date.

If he has a build date, then he has a VIN. Ask him for it.

This will all be sorted out and IUP + MyColor will be available again by next Spring if not sooner. Unless there's an injunction, Ford won't stop offering MyColor...they're not bound to. Supplier issues are the only thing that threaten us in the short term.

karpro ~ I have a stat update from "clean, unscheduled" to "submitted to the plant". I am not so sure about a vin & build date yet. I won't find that out till Friday. But my question is being updated to "submitted to the plant", isn't the next step to recieve a build date? And if I have not recieved a build date, will this hold still affect me? And if so, how?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Not trying to pile on Frod but I am one of the people who was looking forward to my color. I'm a semi tech geek & the thought of a bunch of color changing LEDs in the dash excited me. (I have a fancy LED light in my hottub that does the same thing & that STILL amuses me like a cat w/ a string). I stopped by my local FORD dealer to sit in one for the 1st time (an inspiring experience after a year of waiting) & played w/ the mycolor. Honestly, I was impressed. The colors really do stand out & they aren't bright in the center & faded on the outside of the dials like I thought they might be.
Ford even went so far as to release the MyColor panel as its main teaser screensaver, it was on my computer for months. Memo to FORD, you've got the buzz, now the demand, you NEED to deliver. I've been waiting patiently to order my GT Vert w/ every moneymaking option you can cram into it (save the AUTO, I gotta shift baby), now let me buy it. Please.

I cant figure out what the big hold up is about the friggin IUP. 40 years later and they arent even close to the ability to spit out mustangs like they did in 64-66. And they were LOADED with tin pieces. What is there a shortage of LED's and plastic??? Every friggin toy on the planet earth these days has the same components that make up a MyColor cluster. Cripes. I still dont know how they plan on busting 100k total 05 units at this pace. You would think they are making them out of tomatoes

Not sure if I missed it while sifting through all the "this stinks" and the "glad I got mines" but why not just order the car in Feb ? It stinks starting a wait all over again but if it's that important to you regardless of when you ordered it just put in a new order after Jan. or find one on the lot with IUP.
I can't see ford not getting this resolved right away whatever the issue is. I for one really want the IUP. If I can't get it when I try ordering I will hold off until I can get it. Unless I can get that in the aftermarket.
Maybe I'm just too positive but...
I'm not too worried as these things always get blown way out of proportion. That email says no IUP for Jan and then you have people already saying they bet they won't every make it. lol See that's how rumors start.

Spoke to my dealer about this yesterday. He said to keep waiting, because if you cancel and move on, you go to the end of the line. He said orders would be built in the order received. I am in the same boat. I dont really care too much about changing the dash color, but I really like the aluminum trim and the other features that come with it. I have considered just get the IUP lite package but I am going to hold on.
#116
if I order my car right now, today, will I get the IUP and the MyColor?
If I can, then I'm ordering tonight after work.
However, some of you guys were saying that you ordered back in October and November and you're still on hold. Someone clue me in here....

ugh my dealer faxed me his whole status report, and it has my car as "Unsch/Clean"
ah well, nothing they did... it's got the highest priority out of all the cars. darn. Although they are saying it's axle shortage, no one here knows anything about the iup thing, maybe it's both, or one, or whatever.... but i guess it's not coming for a while!

Could this IUP delay be related to the release of the vert and not the lawsuit? I have no clue when the vert is scheduled to roll through the assembly lines, but I have been seeing a late Feb or early March date tossed around for when we are suppose to see them on the showroom floors. Wouldn't that mean they may start production in January? If so, could Ford be holding the (presumed) limited supply of IUP parts for use in the first batch of verts? Maybe to launch with fully loaded models. Thus, putting all the orders with the IUP on hold. Just a thought. Granted, if this is true it would certainly tick off all of us existing in line for non-verts with the IUP.
I have an order date of 11/28... called the dealer and left a message about the status of my order today... in hopes of finding out how this will effect my order. We'll see what happens.

You are going to get rumors anytime people need/want to know something and the information, for whatever reason, is not provided. I am hoping orders with IUP's are scheduled for February but who can really say until/if the facts come out regarding why the January block. Adding another "rumor to the mill" - maybe the Ford legal eagles checked things out and maybe this guy does have a REAL GOOD Case. Maybe they are going to take January to revamp the 18G package to include everything but MY Color.
BON can be negative leaning IMO at at times to Ford but they are asking if anyone knows why WIXOM stop producing some part.
I have no idea who they are or what they produce.
I want to apologize upfront for throwing out a lot of stuff which is pure speculation but it looks like the closest I am going to get to a Mustang GT for the next couple of months or more will be reading (enjoying) TMS,
