Here is this weeks commodities report. Still no new news on the IUP.


2005 Mustang
Interior Upgrade Pkg. 0%

Total GT 80%

Convertible 22%

There are no controls on the Interior Sport Appearance Package. We strongly encourage all dealers to order their GT allocation with the Interior Sport Appearance Package (18R).

 

Thanks Paul. I always wait for this report!

There is still mass confusion on the IUP build dates for Jan. If you have a build date for January w/IUP will it be built or pushed back to February?

 

Thanks Karpro!
Hope to see some cars with IUP being build this month or next.
My Dora was process 12/1, so still have not got VIN.
Think I'll call dealer and see what's up!
Thanks again! Happy Trails!!

 

Thanks for the update Paul. I guess it's time to start searching for a suitable stock unit somewhere.

 

Hopefully we should be fine. But yes, we do have a unique interest in the answer.

 

Jimmy, that would be the best thing right now to stay ahead in the game. If the IUP continues in this pattern through Jan. and into Feb., there will probably be alot of people searching for existing Mustangs on lots that have the full IUP. B)

 

Likewise....Thanks for the info Paul.

 

Thanks...again. Your weekly report IMO is one of the few factual items regarding the IUP issue. For us folks scheduled in January, would appear it doesn't mean anything. If I recall correctly, think you may have some info regarding Feb builds after 1/13.

 

I was happy to see convertible added. I think that is a first and a step in the right direction for me.

 

ditto!

Brad should make Paul's weekly report sticky. At least until we find out when IUP is back.

 

More confusion for me. I just called Ford customer service to get an update. They said the system now shows my car has "gone to production". I asked him to verify the order had the IUP and he said "Yes, that's what the system is showing". So I asked if he was sure and he repeated the IUP features back to me including myColor and said that is what the system is showing my car being built with. I guess time will tell now.

Karpro, I do appreciate your updates. It's just this whole IUP thing is pretty confusing.

 

Just to make it even more confusing, we've been building alot of V6's w/ full IUP (no joke) and at the same time, alot of GT w/out even the IUP-lite. And no verts as of last week, at all. Will let you guys know what we're building this week. BTW, both shifts worked last Sat., off this Sat., work the next 2. John

 

this may seem like a somewhat silly question but i just have to ask.Is it possible for my car to be built w/out the IUP/mycolor? Even though my dealer has not said anything to me about changing my order or anything...I am just incredably worried that i have been waiting all this time and my car is going to get here and the IUP/mycolor is not going to be in it!

 

Hey John slip my GT in with the V6s there! My date keeps being pushed back, but it's good to see that IUP is not extinct.

Thanks Paul and John, your updates are a valuable asset to this forum.

 

John - thanks for the update from the line. It's very encouraging to know that IUP is making its way into V6s - and for that matter - that it's being installed in Anything!!

 

Just talked to my salesmanager today, and he said the Satin Silver that I ordered on Nov. 1st, has been built (prior to the IUP hold) and should be here before before the end of the month. It has been sold already (sight unseen), and I asked him to give me a call when it arrives just so I can see what I ordered......even though I bought a Torch Red from them instead on 11-29-04

 

I Spoke to customer service, said I have build date of Jan 17th! I ordered a Satin Silver Gt with auto, shaker1000,IUP,upgrade wheels. Hope it gets built with no issues.

 

Staying postive on this issue, the good news is that IUP's are availabe and V6's with them are being built this month. Legal issue apparently mute. Will assume they are catching up with V6 orders and the GT's will be caught up in the next couple of weeks.

I have absolutely no grounds for making the above statement but lets run it up the flagpole and see if Elvis salutes it.

 

Sounds like thier building them with IUP. Either way no word but clean and unscheduled still on mine...... We'll see what happens this week.
