Keith, you can contact your dealer to find out about the VIN. They update their sales sheets weekly, and the latest printout from Ford should give you your VIN if your car has a VIN assigned!
Jon, thanks for the info. My dealer is "checking the report". The good news....the ERL moved my build date to week of 8/8. Rumor has it that '06 production was moved up two weeks???? Is your unit still scheduled for 8/22?

there's nothing like getting your car on your birthday I got mine right down to the day before my birthday so I got to drive it all day for my birthday, what an awesome day it was!!!! And here's to getting your cars with a build date it's all down hill from here...CHEERS!!

I delivered one on a customer's birthday a couple weeks ago complete with red bow. She was impressed.

Ed - now that's the way to do it! I hope my dealer wil do a little something to mark the occasion for me too. It would be a nice touch.

I know I'll get plenty of mid-life crisis jokes about this car (I'm 46). But it is the Mustang I have always wanted - since I was 17. It just took me this long to get it!

BTW, brother - you have great taste in Mustang colors!

I was asked in another thread about my other Mustangs, so I am trying to dig up some photos Here's a look at my '69, a few months after I bought it.

[attachmentid=26943]

Here's the back 3/4 view, taken right after I bought it in October 1976. It had an aftermarket side view mirror. I later replaced that with the correct original from a salvage yard.

[attachmentid=26944]

She was originally green from the factory. The black paint job came before I bought her. Because of her stripes, I have always been partial to thin-thick-thin. The original buyer probably ordered the Grandé for the interior, I guess, but skimped on the options. No console, and no A/C! That was not fun during SE Virginia summers.

Congrats also Kevin & Jon...
Jon - 581 and my 607.... talk about close. I know they dont produce in exact sequence but wouldn't that be cool if mine was right behind yours?

Who knows Dave, maybe yours will roll off line before mine! You gotta love the thought of all those ponies getting ready to bust outta the corral!

I just checked with the ERL, and she has now moved my build date to week of 8/15. :bang:

Gotta wait another week now! :mellow:

Maybe I should simply NOT pick up the phone. I called the ERL this morning, and now I am back to August 22nd again!

I wonder what this issue is that is causing AAI to move it around.

We're getting there! Congrats on the build day, that's the day after my birthday. I'm locked in for tomorrow, the 17th. My car's birthday will be exactly one week before mine.

Hey Jon, here is my nanner to you , from a fellow waiting game participant. It's a great feeling isn't it, knowing you ordered one of these fantastic cars . Hows about being a kind friend, and sending me a nanner to the topic I have linked below. I ordered one too, but will be waiting over 8 months to get my "baby" (8 orders ahead of me). Gongrats again, I hope the wait is a short one.

You got it, brother Jeff, and thank you for the nanner you have so generously and graciously provided!

I may actually have my Mustang in September! It could happen!

And congrats Cindy!!
