Just spoke to my dealer, who is also a client of mine, so I assume this info is correct.

The dealer principal contacted Ford last Friday about the delay of my car. GT Vin # 102052. What he was told was that 2000 GT's that were being held will be released the week of 10/25. He asked if there was any factory recalls, etc., & was told "no." Apparently the cars were just held in the system. So I am confident that the "weld issue" is just a rumor.

So I'm hoping, as I know many of you are, that our cars will be in soon.

I really, really, really hope so...I'm starting to go a little impatient. Mine's 100680, built the week of 9/7 and since then, no one can tell me where it is.

I sold my brother my 01 a few weeks ago so I've been stuck driving my first Mustang (94 V-6) that he had...it's not fun.

Please come soon, please come soon!!!!!

I hope you get your GT soon, but don't get your hopes up. I've heard that there are thousands of '05 Mustangs in holding lots. It's going to take several weeks for Ford to sort them out and get them shipped.

This is probably true. My GT was on "quality hold" until the end of last week when it was released. VIN ending 105101, the order processing system said it should be here on Wednesday...we'll see!

Mine was on hold too...but I didn't get any kind of status change as far as I know. It was supposed to arrive on 10/18, but had a "maintenance check" on 10/19.

Hope it gets here soon...<sigh>. I've already seen 4 of them on the road around where I live.

It has been said that the VINs aren't sequential but they're pretty close.

That'd be interesting to query - the VINs of those who've taken delivery.

Well to add to this, I went to my dealer today and while sitting in the sales area bs-ing with the staff the regional manager called the store general manager. And as usuall, they put the guy on speaker. The regional manager told them to keep checking the order bank for staus of mustang orders due to them being pushed ahead of what has been currently listed because they are pushing them out fast. So start calling your dealer, there may be hope on the horizon.

This info is worth being up top for all too see.

Make sure you check with your dealers today folks. See if you got any new news on your Mustangs.

In thread terms *Bump*
