Sorry to burst your bubble Mike, but if they changed your build date to the 20th......then it basically isn't going to happen until sometime after the first of the year. The Flat Rock plant is closed for Christmas/New Years Holiday from the 18th thru Jan. 2nd. This is info I got about the closure dates anyway.....

According to another member (Mustang John) that works at AAI where the Mustangs are built the plant isn't closing down until Christmas Eve.

I'll be working both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Christmas Eve is a regular day and I'm working for someone on Christmas Day. Can't turn down two days of Double Time.

As for the last shift before the shutdown at AAI, John will have to confirm that.

Your dealer can get as much info on your car as can be gotten. If they tell you otherwise then tell them you will call the 800 number. If you do call, then they will ask for your dealers name and that dealer will get "dinged" on customer care. Just some FYI... maybe the dealer will be more cooperative if they really care about customer satisfaction and know that you know about the 800 number.

Hey Mike,Did your car get built today? Just wondering since mine has been Bucked since `12/13 and still in Bucked status today. My salesperson says she cannot get any new info since corporate is down for the holidays. I think the factory is working til thurs. Good Luck I was hoping to get mine for Christmas but I dont think it will happen.

Mine was scheduled for build week of 12/13, and when I checked later in the week I was told that as of 12/14 my car was shipped via convoy carrier with an ETA to the dealer week of 12/25. I found out today that in regard to ETA to the dealer the week STARTS on Saturday which means my car will probably arrive sometime next week, dealer says just before New Years.
