Well, that was quick!!!!

Ordered my Mustang on 9/25...noticed the dates on the window sticker which popped up 10/3 that everyone says could be around the time the car is to be built and they were soon. Got an email from the sales guy on Friday the car is estimated to arrive at the dealership on 10/23. Less than a month!!!!!! All my other ones took almost 2 months.

You watch it has been in the 70;s and 80's here for a week.....it will probably snow when I pick it up!!!!!!

Especially with the Coronavirus, you would think it would've took longer than 2 months, let alone less than one month. Meanwhile, congrats on the ETA

yep, that is awesome

I have never custom-ordered a car from the factory and been able to watch it progress through manufacturing, that must be fun!

Very nice. The wait is almost over.

Your timing is about like mine. Car will get in just in time to put a few hundred miles on it. Then you can clean it up and put it away for the winter. You will get to look at it stored all winter long, just itching for spring. Congrats and make sure you post pictures!

You really lucked out with having to wait less than a month from the time you placed your order to being delivered next week. Hopefully, you'll have some decent weather to put some miles on her before winter arrives. Meanwhile, congrats and also look forward to seeing some pics when your 2020 arrives

Unlike my last 2 this will be my only car, so no storage....but, I now only work from home, so will just need to wait until the roads are cleared before I can go anywhere...except for rare family events, I probably only put 50 to 75 miles a week on it.

if you will be driving it through winter, here's something to do while you wait for delivery: look for a cheap set of take-off wheels to use for the winter with snow tires, so you can keep your nice new factory wheels nice and new
