Build week of Sept. 11th
ERL says we have a build week of Sept. 11th. Better late than never, but it won't give me much time to drive it before the winter comes. Anyone else with this same build week?

It's funny but being in California that is something we never think about. I would hate to just get a car as awesome as this and have to put it away. Hey drive out west and stay the winter

I know it's all about the numbers, but wouldn't you think Ford would get their Mustangs out to the NE dealers first before they worry about Florida, California, Arizona, Texas, and all of the other warm states that don't experience snow? 
How are the NE dealers going to sell a GT or V6 from November - February?

ERL told me today that as of 09/12 your car has been built and released from the plant with an ETA to dealer the week of 09/22. I hope to be driving it by the weekend of the 23rd. 
Should I track the railcar or wait patiently???

1. Select option # 2
2. ERL will ask if you are checking an order # or VIN, say "order #"
3. DEALER CODE: five digit code
4. MODEL YEAR: 2007
5. BODY TYPE: T80 for V6 or T82 for GT
6. ORDER #: mine was a 4 digit #
You'll have to confirm a couple of responses by saying "yes". ERL will then tell you what your status is. Mine said "As of Sept. 12, your car has been built and released from the foreign factory with an ETA to dealer of week of Sept. 22nd." Good luck.

I called the above # but didn't know what option to select or what to ask for. Am I "supposed" to be the "dealer" when I call? What are the steps in doing this? Thanks.
This will be the LONGEST week of my life!!
It's like having Christmas Eve go for one week when you are 8 years old.

I called this number today 800.392.3673 and he asked me for my VIN then told me my Stang had been serialzied/scheduled (but couldn't confirm build date) and told me the delivery date was October 15th that's 3 weeks later than my dealer was telling me - so I'm not sure he knows what he's talking about - since he couldn't even tell me the build week. I'm going to try your number and see what I get!

My Order
So my car was "locked in" last week to built the week of 9/11 with an ETA of 10/3. As of 4:15 pm today (Friday), ERL still says it is scheduled to be built this week! When I called Ford customer service they had no update on my order except an ETA of 10/10!
What does this mean? Any thoughts?
