Okay, its getting close. The time that the 05s hit the lots. My question is, what regions of the country will get them first? Anyone know or has anyone heard rumors yet?

 

Will they be delivered first by region, or by "favored" lot status? Some dealers around here get cars weeks before others?? Just curious

 

I asked this question to a Ford rep at the Racing event, and he said they try to do simultaneous release.

 

The east and west coast dealers will recive them first! Thats where the biggest demands are! Los Angeles and New York being big players in the release. This is all intell from Ford, but our first Stang is sceduled for middle of next month and Im in PHX. Az. We shall see!

 

Hey Shea, I don't know if anyone has asked you this, but if you like mustangs so much, why does your avatar have one being destroyed?

 

Good question... it hurt me bad enough to see that Cobra getting crushed in the movie, much less to see it over and over. It's hard to watch.

 

My dealer said the car is going straight from the assembly line directly to my driveway in Illinois via enclosed transport. What?! You mean he's lying? Nooooooooooo...

All I DO know is the bigger dealers in IL are getting 2 or 3 demos units in about 1-8 weeks, depending who you ask and I bet they'll just space deliveries evenly across the US (why saturate just the East or West as someone mentioned).

 

When I spoke with the Ford rep at the autoshow here in Cleveland, he told me The Great Lakes and Eastern seaboard was the first to get them because thats how the railway system works. He said Cleveland would be the first big stop (besides Detroit) on the way down.

Now, I don't know if he was just blowing off steam or what, but that's what he said back in March.

Saying that, I live in Cleveland and mine hasn't been built yet, so I dunno.

 

Will you be staking out the Depot in El Mirage?

 

Most likely it was a V6 dolled up to look like a Cobra with postproduction soundeffects to make it sound right.

 

I think they should be delivered to Phoenix, AZ first. We get to enjoy our cars all year long, no winter here..... But hey I'm biased :P

 

Actually, I think it was a Saleen in the movie.

 

Was it not a Saleen? That's what I recall.

 

Wonder why Ford won't say when they are shipping? It not like that is critical information to the performance of the car.

 

Hehe, I just don't like that body style. I'm sure that sounds like blasphemy, but oh well. I kinda look at it like, out with the old, in with the new (styled like the REALLY old). B)

 

*crosses fingers for socal

 

I checked my status today and it still says TBD.

 

Im going to start camping out! I CANT WAIT!!!!

 

I ordered mine UPS next day red. When it gets built I will be standing by the side of the road looking for the brown truck the next day. I hope west Michigan is first. Don't matter. I've waited all this time, an extra couple/few weeks won't hurt me.

 

I'll say Ohio or some where in midwest.
