I ordered a GT vert back on 02-28. I was wondering if anyone could tell me where you guys get all your info on S/N, build dates and when the car is on the truck or rail? My dealer says he will not know anything until the order is pulled by Ford.

 

Your dealer is dead on too. Some of us have procured the dealer phone number to check status. It is not given out on this forum however (sorry). However, you won't know anything new until your dealer knows something new.

The only difference between what my dealer told me and the number told me was slightly more specific dates. Other then that my dealer is usually faster with updates then the number.

 

I think if you search this board for ERL, it will lead you to the information you want. You can also Google Ford VOPC. It helps the time go by. WEEK BY EVER LOVING WEEK. If you're lucky, you will be in production soon. I ordered a week before you and I think my build date is today based on ERL. And guess what ? My dealer hasn't told me squat.

 

Thanks for the info guys. I called the VOPC this morning and it looks like I'm still C and U. Guess I'll check again next week, and the next week, and the next week.

 

When you get the VIN from your dealer get with Kzinti at Blue Oval News, he's the man! :worship:

 

Thanks. Hey what is the Blend date? Haven't heard that term yet.
