Hey all!

I introduced myself in a previous thread but it got deleted, so...hi!

I have been lurking here over a year from back when I was going to order a 2012 Boss (and then decided against it in favor of the wife's 2011 Explorer). I like this place; it seems like most people are nice and polite in comparison to many other Mustang forums.

I now intend to order a 2013 Boss in either that green with a stupid name or that grabber orange aka school bus yellow once I find a reasonable dealer that doesn't want to hose me in the face. My wife's grandfather also gave us a fairly complete 1970 302-2V coupe that I have been playing with the last several months.

Anyhoo, now that the intros are out of the way, here is the useful stuff. These are the recently published tentative 2012/2013 transition dates:

MY12:
Final Orders Due: 12/23/11
Last Day to Change/Cancel: 1/6/11
Job Last Date: 2/24/12

MY13:
Order Banks Open: 12/5/11
Scheduling: 1/26/12
Job 1 Start: 2/27/12

 

Thanks for the info

 

Gotta Have It Green?

 

good to know this. Thanks.

but I would physically see the color before making decision. Even the online configuration tool is kind artificial.

 

When you do get your Boss I hope your signature reads
__________________
2013 Boss 302 - that green with a stupid name

 

I think it is pretty safe to say that School Bus Yellow is going to be identical to the Saleen Parnelli Jones mustangs as well as PJ's original trans-am Boss, but as far as the green, they will probably have some or all of the new colors at the LA Auto Show so I should be able to see before order banks open.


That will be my sig for sure if that turns out to be the color I get.

 

I read that the reg 5.0 was going up to 425 hp,,didnt give hp for the 3.7.. Anyway does the BOSS get more HP .. and will they fix the M6 problem ???

Hey Forkmachine, where did you get those production dates from? I want to get a 2012 but I don't want to miss the deadline and all the dealerships seem to not know the deadline.

Thanks

 

It is posted in the Ford Fleet Distribution News Bulletin. I would think dealers are supposed to be up on it but I doubt very many actually look at it.

It has a chart that shows order/production start and end dates for every Ford and Lincoln model for the current model year and the following model year as dates are announced.

 

Hi guys,

The numbers showed by Forkmachine regarding the 2012 MY, are correct. We have not put out any number s for the 2013MY Mustangs yet, so I can’t verify those at this time. I do thank you for keeping everyone in the loop, Forkmachine.

I login here every morning hoping to see a new thread: 2013 Mustang GT SPIED!!! Please tell me i wont have to wait till November 16th to see what my new cars gonna look like.

 

I'm also interested in if the above schedule/order/build dates for 2013 are correct. I wish there was a spec sheet announced for regular gt as there is above for the boss.

 

There is, it's just that nobody has leaked it yet...

The dates are still correct as posted as of Friday. If anyone is looking for confirmation just ask your dealer to pull up the most recent Fleet Distribution News Bulletin and look at or around page 9.

 

So when will ford start accepting orders for 2013 models, and when could we expect them likely to be delivered?

 

I would say early April ?

 

Hi guys,

I think the order info for the 2013 might be like last year for the 2012. The info came out at the end of the year (Nov-Dec time). As soon as I get some info, I'll let you all know.
