Hi all,
In order to help put to rest any question as to when they 2005 Mustangs will begin production I would like to offer to e mail the Dealer News Bulletin dated this week showing the Job 1 date as Sept 7. This is the report Ford uses to communicate with the dealers. On page 5 it has the changeover dates for all the 05s. Anyone who tells you differently is misinformed.
I will e mail this report to anyone who can post it for all to read.

BEK355@aol.com

 

BEK - I'll msg you with my email address. I will be glad to post it.
Thanks ! (only 7 more posts till I'm a GT !!!)

And yet another Ford doc, thanks again to BEK B)

 

They are going to schedule the Mustangs September 20??? :scratch: Isnt that AFTER Job 1???

Why would they do this?

I cant get the picture up, but the one i am referring to is the scheduling list.

 

Does that mean schedule for delivery to the dealerships, maybe? I don't know anything about the terms for manufacturing or delivering, etc. That would make sense, though. Job 1 sept 7, on the first lots sept 20.

This report means that cars pulled for production on week 25 will be built the week of September 20, the third week of production. Meaning cars that were given vins last week will be built the end of September for delivery to dealers in mid October.

 

QUOTE BEK355 (Posted on June 29, 2004, 8:16 PM) So, Bek, is this a constant formula? For example, my order for a mustang is gonna be given 7/5 or so. Does this mean my Stang will be made around 10/30?

 

So Bill Ford's personal one rolls off the line on September 7th. Neat.

 

Bek, Kevin, or anyone I missed, I have a question...as a car buyer is there anything I can do to assure that the order gets pulled by ford...I ordered mine on 5-25-04, and as of now the dealer said that the order has not been pulled by ford yet, I stopped by the dealership last thursday (6-24-04) and they showed me that the status was "clean unscheduled order" priority: 10, Order type: 1, Price Level: 500

.They are a smaller dealer (Charlotte, MI) and they are allowed 2 cars, I am the only customer that has ordered a mustang from their dealership so far and they have said that I will be their first one. But the order has still not been pulled yet, should I be worried or am I just being over cautious....thank you for reading this and for your responce.

 

That is a real good question and something I wondered myself. What does "clean unscheduled order" mean? That is the status of my Mustang order as of Tuesday.

 

It will be like that untill its scheduled, or "bucked", about a month or so from Job 1(maybe later then that), then "production" then "in-transit" then "in-stock"

They sit like this, and I KNOW we're getting this one:

You can upgrade to get the racing stripe and painted brake calipers?
I don't see that on the order form or is just different dealerships will do different upgrades.etc.?
