Funniest thing... someone said on another thread that they were getting a call about their order. I hope that it was legitimate. I was told the car will be built in late April or early May.

The following is email correspondence I had with my dealer yesterday concerning this topic. I liked his answer. At least in this Region, they are putting customer orders before stock!
Hi Ted,
I was curious if anything came out of the Regional Rep meeting concerning allocations?
Also, have you heard anything about Ford calling the Dealerships to get contact info for people who have special ordered an 05 Mustang? Rumor has it, they believe there are lots of bogus orders in the system due to guys going to multiple Dealers and ordering, then taking whichever car comes in first. To remedy this, they are going to call everyone to confirm their order.
Thanks!
Tom
Hi Tom,
I believe the meeting was not until March, so nothing new from Dealer Council.
As far as Ford contacting the customer? I have not heard that one. My Rep did tell me that she will contact the dealership as they receive GT allocation and want proof of the order (valid purchase agreement) maybe she would call the customer at that time. If the dealer does not have a legit retail order they lose the allocation.
