My car has been on the train since November 13. Does this make sense? Could anyone keep track of the time their car was in transport? If so, how long did it take?

Paul, mine took a train ride from Michigan to Kansas City. Then it sat in Kansas City at the railyard in a parking lot with several hundred other Mustangs I was told for over two weeks waiting to be put on a transport truck to deliver to the dealership. Once it was loaded on the transport truck it took another week to get from Missouri to Texas. I finally got it last Friday, and let me tell you it was definately worth the wait. This car is freaking awesome. When it finally arrives you will totally forget about the wait. Can't wait to here from you when it arrives, Hang in there!

Paul, you can ask your dealer to call. I believe that if ti sits for 5 days, the dealer is supposed to call for an update. Maybe one of the pro's can tell you for sure though. My car actually arrived in Atlanta on the 22nd, but didn't get to the dealer till the 26th, not that I'm complaining . Dave's right, when you get it, you won't remember the wait.

I'm thinkin' something is fishy..... call the dealer and tell they to get an updated status. If their computer shows the same thing, see if they can make any phone calls. Sorry you're waitin', man.... you're 1 step ahead of me, though. I'm without..... until late spring.

Good Luck Waiting. My car seemed to come by way of Brazil before it finally arrived also.

I'm in the same boat. Car was supposed to arrive here sometime between November 22 and 29. Well - it's the 30th and no GT! Been a long time since ordering it in June.

Sits at railyard waiting to be loaded. Loads takes several days to arrive at destination. Sits at destinatin railyard wating to be shipped to dealer. Gets loaded onto semi to go to dealer. It's sort of like flying. Arrive early to check in wait in lines, wait in more lines wait at gate wait on runway fly wait on runway! It's not as simple hiney we wish! :angry:
