" As of August 4th your unit is scheduled for build week of July 31st with an estimated delivery to dealer week of August 12th."
That quote is as close as I can recall but accurate enough. I presume this means my Vista Blue GT will be built on Friday August 4th and delivered sometime after Saturday August 12th? Don't y'all think thats a pretty quick delivery? But it seems right on the six week time frame the salesman told me when I ordered it on July 1st.

When I called today I got a "As of July 19th, your car is clean and unscheduled, it has not been serialized at this time." Interesting about the August 4th date.

No idea how this system works. Mine ordered 7/11. On 7/19 I had the same "clean & unscheduled...." that you got. However, today I called and had a message " as of 7/20 you have been serialized and awaiting a schedule date and ETA.

Gisarm,
ERL currently tells me:
"As of August 1st your unit is scheduled for build week of July 31st with an estimated delivery to dealer week of August 13th."
She sure seems to know a lot about my unit
But anyway, our cars will probably be more-or-less linemates. I guess the combination of later build date/earlier ETA for your car means you live closer to Flat Rock than I do (I'm in CA).

The ERL works in mysterious ways! She tells me as of July 13th, your unit is scheduled to be built the week of August 7th. (My dealer tells me it will be built ON the 7th)
I've been calling every day...I wish it would update already!!!
My VIN is 1ZVHT82H475223096

Bill,
I'm in GA. I think it's a little closer, but stil a long ways. I guess they deliver them faster than I thought they did. I was imagining a couple of weeks by rail.
Well in another 3 weeks or so it looks like we will have them.

Yea, was kinda susprised I got that much information so far out, kinda scares me ...lol, Look what Flashfearless has gone through! Check out Hoops VIN, his number is very close. Looks like Ford has gotten their act together and are kicking them out faster, some people who ordered in April and May are still waiting.
Good Luck to all waiting for their stang.

Good Luck to all. If anything, you should learn from my mistakes and figure out what to avoid. Such as.... 1) dealers with a
allocation 2) dealers with a 'tude towards X plan customers 3) take the order guide to heart and know what it means when they say 51% GT, etc 4) don't order when the order banks open, let them get into the season a bit first and get their work flow down 5) plan your order around the plant shutdowns if possible...As much as I have said negative about my dealer's allocation, truly this is the only negative I can say about them. They have been great to deal with in every other aspect of this process. I never felt like they thought that I was stupid, and I never felt like they resented the information that I was able to find out on my own. And I never felt like they resented me getting this car on Z plan...

Hey, Doug! Welcome to the "next week club"!
My order-to-build time will be just under 3 months:
ordered 5/4
serialized 7/6
build week set 7/7 for week of 7/31
locked for production on 7/19, with build date of 8/1 and dealer ETA of 8/13
That's certainly longer than many people experienced, but not longer than I was expecting. I figured my combination of vert, cloth top, and manual trans might take a bit longer. Plus my dealer is apparently not an allocation stud.
But overall it's been a reasonable process - especially with so much info available via the forum and the ERL. My dealer is pretty clueless, so it's been good having resources that help me know more than he does. To his credit, though, I got no hassle over X-plan.

I am now locked in for production on August 4th.
It looks like Navier's (Bill), Dougxox's, 66FastbackGT's and my Mustang will all be linemates. I wonder if they'll recognize each other at car shows the way circus elephants do that grew up with other.
