Just a little side track. There's been a gorgeous Redfire "GT" sitting in a dealer showroom for 2 weeks now. It only has the I.U.P. "Lite" inside. They're asking $26,000 something. I can only speculate that full I.U.P. means so much for a lot of people. I can't conceive this early in production that a fully loaded "GT" would have sat that long without someone grabbing it up.
Thank you, Brad for this information.

I just talked to one of the senior members of Team Mustang regarding the availability of IUP and MyColor. Here's the scoop, straight from the horse's mouth, as of 3:20 PM Jan. 19:

- Ford underestimated demand of IUP to be 20-30%. The actual take rate is closer to 80%.
- They are at AAI now installing new capacity. It will be at the new full capacity within the model year.
- Ford believes they have no liability in the MyColor case with Mr. Weyer, and they are continuing to produce 2005 Mustangs with IUP and MyColor.
- 2005 Mustangs ordered with IUP and MyColor are being produced as we speak.

I ordered an 05 Stang with option 18R. Its dealer built so guaranteed to be made. Scheduled build date is week 7. Do you think if i change it to option 18R to get the IUP it will be pushed back? I just dont want to end up waiting till october when i could get it in March

I thought IUP and My Color were 2 different options

Thanks, Brad! What a great pick-me-up on a frozen, nasty Friday in DC! Knowing that I may have my GT by sometime this spring will help through the slushy days ahead! Thank you again!

Ordered my GT on 11/30 with IUP. Was notified at that time that the order would be delayed because of this option. I have changed my order for the convertible on 01/20/05. I couldn't have done this without the delay. My original order was picked up by Ford on 01/13/05 but the dealer allowed me to change my order. Things must be moving again for the original order to be picked up.

I ordered my 05 Mustang GT back on Nov 1. They told me 6-8 weeks. As of today, Jan 26, I still have no idea when it is coming. I ordered the IUP as well as the Color Accent Interrior. Any idea how quickly they are producing them now? Four months is a long time to wait 
However, I know it will be worth it.

Ordered V6 Premium 10/29. Could get I.U.P. after commodity change in Dec. Called salesman last Fri. 1-21. It's built & on it's way. Any day within 7 of 1/23.
We'll see. Hope no more major snow so I can drive her home & down my driveway. If it came a few days ago I'd have to tell them to hold it till the snow clears or is plowed. :bang:
