Don't know why they can't produce more GTs initially since that is where the demand is... :scratch:

Same thing on limits on the IUP. Limiting IUP to 35% of production sounds like a big problem to me. I don't think many people will skip that option, unless maybe Ford knows some large institutional buyers don't want it. Even the order guide suggests 50% IUP, and that seems low to me, too.

I would bet it's the new 4.6L engine that is in limited supply, which will be used on other ford products, I'm sure ford would prefer selling more GTs instead of the V6 cars if they could supply them.

There is one Ford sale down the drain. BTW, the 350Z is a nice car. If it had a back seat it would be on my alternate list. Good luck to you.

Ok, if I don't get my GT in mid-late Oct. I'm going to get a 350Z. :bang:

You are a good guesser, it is on my alternate list. The problem is that I don't believe that the G35 provides the same driving experience as the Mustang.

Yeah, so how come no other "salespeople" heard the same? I love how something so loosely thrown out immediately takes hold as truth. I plan on starting a cult soon based on 2005 Ford Mustang Launch Delays. Why as a matter of fact, please join Church of The 2005 Mustang Delays!

In the end, it doesn't really matter. People aren't going to get their cars any sooner or later by complaining about it. I know, that stinks - but that's how it goes. Ford can't stand to lose customers due to this sort of deal, and if they do lose customers, Ford is going to be really hurt. One way or another, I'm sure they'll find a way for each and every order to be fulfillled. And if they don't: they're idiots. Pre-sold cars are the dumbest things to mess up on.

He didn't say he worked for a dealership nor did you provide any proof what so ever in his initial post, as Of right now the BON article is more credable because at least they listed a supposed source. Until I see proof I stand behind my original assessment.
Btw, my Father is Sales Manager at the local Ford Dealership which I ordered from, would he not have received the same notification?

For people who have been reading these forums for a while, he didn't have to. He has already established his credibility here.

Perhaps you have never heard the expression
"Skepticism is the absence of proof"
Until I see proof I remain skeptical.
No insult is intended. I believe what can be proven. As far as alienating people I could care less. The fact remains without proof, this post is worhless.

Ford has notified the dealers that they can only build GTs at 50% of production. Ford has also said the the Interior upgrade package can only be ordered at 35% of production. This means that Ford will build half of all cars as V6s and will force dealers to take them. This will definitely delay the production and delivery of some sold GT orders, as half of all allocation will be V6 regardless of order status.
This will make a GT Mustang even harder to get and is in line with what Ford announced in their initial build plans. There are just too many GT orders.

This "commodity hold" effects all GT orders or just ones that have not been scheduled? My understanding is that a under commodity hold vehicles won't be scheduled for production until Ford fixes the supply problem.
So if a vehicle is scheduled does that mean the hold doesn't apply to that vehicle?

Thank you os121 for your help and faith.
heck it's the internet. it's good to be a little skeptical. We did receive an update today changing the IUP to 35% in case you were wondering about the discrepancy.
On a positive note, I believe this is the official first post of the Vert Job 1 date. Did you see it in small print.
I could be wrong.
