Regardless if you have a VIN or not you can at least find out your build date. Just have your DORA and enter this info:
dealer code: in top right corner of order form
body code :gt coupe is T82 ...v6 coupe is T80
Order #: top left of order form....could use vin. if you have it complete.
Model year: 2005
note: this is for dealers only(ha ha). you can speak to the automated system or a person if nessary.....like I said ..remember dealers only!
Sorry guys was advised to remove number...dont want to cause a stir...

It is for dealers only. It costs money for Ford to have that for upkeep costs. You can't just give it to customers. I understand that you just wanted to help people, but themustangsource can get in big trouble for this.

Anyone have a good reason as to why a company like Ford doesn't have an automated number or on their website where you can put your VIN in and get a status report for the customer not just for dealers?

I saw something that GM even has a program that Vett owners can go to the factory and be the first one to start the engine on their new car. That's one thing that GM has done well. Excellent way to build loyalty.

Yeah go to www.fleet.ford.com to input your VIN to get your status online. The catch though? You have to be a registered dealer with a login to utilize 
...where the heck is the sense in that???

That's one thing I'll give GM, they have always seemed to be more concerned with their customer's than Ford.
And not just the Corvette things. There are a lot of "little" things that GM does for the customer that Ford doesn't. Even the average customer.

If it wasn't for the fact that so many people have had so little information for so long about their orders, then I would have more sympathy.
At a minimum the message must be sent that there is something wrong with the way order infromation is provided and it is creating a great deal of customer dissatisfaction. That's a constructive message that should be welcomed by Ford.
