Yippie!

Didn't have to wait excessively long for delivery and amazingly the entire process from start to finish was smooth as glass with no unexpected bumps. I'll try to post pics soon and a full writeup on the entire experience, but just wanted to share the good news.

Been reading this forum for quite some time even though this is my first post, but the amount of information I've been able to learn from this forum definately helped during the whole process.

Thanks to all, pics to come soon.

Congratulations! No wonder you are happy with a 6 week turnaround. I'm 13 weeks and counting without a build date.

Wow! That was a fast turn around on that order. What state do you live in, if you don't mind me asking?

Excellent-congratulations on your new Stang!! Since the process was so smooth, perhaps you could plug your dealer for the benefit of members in your area.
Enjoy your new ride!

Now I know how you guys are annoyed when somebody gets a car that ordered after you.

His dealer probably already had one in the system on order and reconfigured it for him right before it got pulled

I'm working remote so I was unable to reduce the size of the images on my laptop without downloading some freebie program so I just uploaded to some free service I have. Here are links.

Live in the State of Texas and from the conversations I've had with a few folks here in Texas our allocation is a lot greater than most states which probably explains the quickness of my order.

I don't think the guy I was dealing with reconfigured an existing order as I watched him put the order in from start to finish and even got him to print out some screen captures of the order screen he was using which was really nice.

Also from order date to delivery date they fielded my every question and just about every request. Anyhow, enjoy the pics and as soon as I have some more free time I'll post more info about the whole process I went through to find the right dealer and how everything worked out.....and of course, more pics to come soon!
