If I remember correctly, recently someone with inside info posted that Sept. 23 would be the initial "OK to ship" meeting held by Ford. In other words, this was the earliest possible date that Ford would make a decision to begin shipping the new Stang. If they elected to postpone shipment, I believe the next "OK to ship" meeting would be in another two weeks. Anyone have an update ?

 

no but sounds interesting...i dont thing we'll see them on the road till mid october

 

Can anyone here confirm or deny this info:

Over on Stangnet someone is saying Herb Chambers Ford just got a Truckload of Mustangs in.

 

A dozen compleat flys in the face of all established fact on the distribution of the New 2005 Mustangs.

For the record that established fact was initial allocation was 2 per dealership, large dealerships getting 4.

I dont believe this.

 

No I did'nt beleive it either. I did a search of name and visited a Web Site. There were no 05's listed in there inventory yet. There was a toll free # I started to call and ask.

 

i dont believe it either

 

However I heard about a Sep 22 or 23 meeting of the Ford execs to determine shipment status. I would be interesting if our insiders could provide any information they can about that supposed meeting?

 

After reading that persons prior posts I am calling on my own post.

 

I think we need to have "Amy V6" drive by those lots everyday and see if they are coralling those ponies into any trains or trucks...

Good Pics Amy! Keep it up!

BTW: Amy can do a count of those ponies? Everyday?

 

I saw that post on Stangnet also. I have read his other posts and I think he is just blowing smoke at us.

 

My 05 Mustang will come this saturday off the truck what my dealership said

 

Hahaha.. I sometimes go to work and have a semi-life hahaha

I might roll through tomorrow... there's some nice condos in the area I wanna look at. Should ask my favorite salesman if I can "test drive" the new F-250.. bawhaha

And Nooooooooo too counting all the Stangs in the holding lot.

Hope this is really true!

 

I wonder if those two dealerships I talked to weren't mistakin when they said they'll get the Mustang "this week"....hmmm, I got some calls to make...

Edit: From the e-mail from the Fleet Manager at Village Ford... The other place, North Aurora Ford, called me and said they'll be in 'this week"... :shock:

 

Ok, here is a map of driving times from Chicago for a delivery truck...pretty good estimate at how long it will take a truck or train to get from Dearborn to wherever...



Red is one day, blue two days, orange three, green four days, and purple is five

 

very cool information!! Where does the train fit into this?

 

Man, the rumors and speculation is flying now. I'll believe it all when I see it all.

 

Well, according to your map, my dealer was accurate in regards to the time it'll take for my car to ship from Dearborn to Florida. Great info!

 

David, I know..., I'll believe when I see 'em om the lot...

Donna, the map is a combo of train and truck travel...

 

I'll never sleep tonite now!!
