Thanks for the update Deysha! Hopefully the ETA will hold true. I'm due to fly back to Afghanistan on the 18th when my R&R is over; it would be FANTASTIC to have taken delivery before that happens! Once again, you ROCK!!!

GT Premium delivered...
I took delivery of my GT Premium DIB this weekend...ordered it on April 14, so 6 weeks total...not bad at all. My only option was the rear pedestal spoiler, so that may have facilitated a reasonably quick build. I haven't gotten to drive it much so far, but it is awesome. Thanks to Deysha for helping me. BTW, I just turned 59 this month, so you're never too old for a Mustang...

Hello Deysha,
I was wondering if there were any updates on where my car is currently at. Last I heard from you it was eta tomorrow but due to recent events I imagine it's been delayed. I'll pm the VIN.

Bad news for some waiting for delivery

Shipments of new vehicles from General Motors, Chrysler Group, Ford Motor Co., Honda and Toyota have been crippled by a strike against the sprawling Canadian Pacific Railroad by 5,000 of its workers.
Teamsters Canada walked off the job just after midnight after parties were unable to reach an agreement despite last-minute negotiations, the union said in a statement.
“We have made every reasonable effort to get a settlement,” said Doug Finnson, vice-president of Teamsters Canada Rail Conference. “Every union member knows how important the outstanding issues are. We will not walk away from the negotiation table.”
Meanwhile, the Canadian Government is threatening to step in to halt the strike if it continues into next week, which now appears likely. As the strike began, the Canadian Pacific shut down all freight traffic on its 15,000 miles of track across Canada and in the U.S.
The railroad handles a substantial amount of automotive-related traffic, including the shipment of complete vehicles produced at assembly plants on both sides of the border.
“An innovative business approach, combined with dedicated customer service, has allowed us to forge important relationships with General Motors and Ford. It has also allowed us to become the exclusive partner for the transportation of Chryslervehicles across Canada,” as well as Honda and Toyota, the railroad’s website noted, adding that it provided an important distribution link “across Canada and the United States.“
CP serves auto assembly plants not only in the province of Ontario but also across the U.S. Midwest. And it boasts of being an essential link in the vehicle distribution chain all the way to Mexico.
Ontario, where pickets appeared shortly after the midnight deadline, is the cradle of the automobile industry in Canada and the province builds more than 1 million vehicles annually for global automakers.
Unless the strike is settled quickly, automakers could be forced to shut down assembly lines across the province. But even before that the strike could lead to supply shortages.
Chrysler spokeswoman Katie Hepler said, “Chrysler Group uses Canadian Pacific Railway for the delivery of parts and finished vehicles. We are actively working to mitigate any impact to our operations through
alternative shipment methods. We encourage a quick resolution to this issue.”
Honda acknowledged the strike has halted shipments of its most popular model, the CRV from its plant in Alliston, Ontario.
Honda spokesman Ed Miller said, “The vast majority of finished Honda and Acura vehicles produced in North America are shipped by rail and our Canadian operations are a key part of these operations. For the vehicles built by Honda associates in Alliston, Ontario, CP Rail — the organization that is on strike — is the provider of outbound rail cars.
“While the strike lasts, Honda will not be able to ship vehicles out of Alliston by rail. We are storing the vehicles on site,” he explained.

Hey Deysha, any chance my hotrod has found a train to take it west? Sent you a PM as well. I would take a delay in delivery if it meant Gunny Mike getting his ride before he is redeployed. Hope you are doing everything possible to get him his car so he can enjoy it for a few days before taking off. Thanks Gunny for your service.

Deysha,
Thank you for all the info.
On (5/29) you told me my car had been released from the factory on(5/25)and should update soon.(5/29) I called my dealer and asked for a update they said it is in-transit at the ramp waiting to be shipped. (5/30) i called the SVT 1-800 line and they told me that it was in-transit to my dealer. I asked them if it was physically on the train and headed this way and they assured me it was.
I was wondering if you could check for me again to see if anything has changed. Just want to know if its really on way or are they just blowing smoke
Thank you again for all the update I/Everyone here really appreciates your help

I ordered 3 weeks a go exactly today. Ford is still "processing" my order. What are the chances I will get my car by July 2nd? I'm thinking very unlikely. Of course my dealer is not much help.
