I think "theoretically' is the right word. I wonder what Ford will run out of next in the production of the Mustang? Maybe there will be a hold up b/c they didn't order enough tires, ran out of steering wheels or failed to build enough gas pedals. :scratch: Sorry to be so pesimistic, but it's a bummer to see so many people c/u and/or not able to order til 2006!!! Ford dropped the ball this year, they really could have made a mint if they had theire :nono: together.

 

Nah, Ford makes it's money in Trucks and SUVs, the Mustang is just a drop in the bucket, it's an image for the company more than it is a significant revenue source.

 

The numbers are indeed climbing:

219299 scheduled to be built next week (516), so I'm the 119,298th.

Let's see who get's the last one...

Unfortunately, with gas prices, Ford is losing there :scratch: :scratch: :scratch: on Trucks and SUVs. They need the "new" cars to save themselves.

 

My disguised vanity plate says it all

NBR 656

 

So, your saying your Vin is 100656?
If it is, Sweet. Personally, I like a early vin number! Even though it won't be worth any more than any other Mustang. I just think (hope) that the early production one's, got a little more attention during the builds, as everyone is still excited about them. Mine has 'almost' no issues so far. I do have the Shaker issue, but even that's not too bad yet. Only skips a few times per month! Other than that, no other noises, poping, gas fill-up issues. (Knocking on wood)

Your's would be the 90,001st built. I read they plan to build 192,000. Not sure how they will reach those numbers, based on what I see by other's vin #'s in this thread?

You'd think that after college simple math would be a no-brainer, eh? I guess that was wishful thinking. Regardless, a nice round number like #90,000 (190001 - 100001) isn't so bad either

The VIN# of my wife's new pony is 209379 and was built on 4/27.

Good question. Do we really know how many Mustangs are built per week? They're running 24/7? :scratch:

With the '06 Explorer getting the Mustang V8 I hope that doesn't put another crimp in delaying orders for folks getting 2006 GTs.

 

The last number I heard was 43 per hour on the line however the line also produces Mazda6's. every 3rd vehicle was a Mazda6. 2-10 hour shifts per day, less lunch breaks of 30 minutes each shift. Something like 539 Mustangs per day if they stick to the 2 out of 3 ratio. I don't know about Saturday either but I bet they are running full speed on days.
