2014 Ordered/Built/Delivered Thread

I watched the GT/CS Registry site and saw that a black glass roof automatic was being produced on 5/15 and gave the VIN numbers to my salesman/sales manager at Bob Swope Ford in Elizabethtown, KY. He looked it up and he saw that it was ordered by Long McArthur Ford in Salina, KS. He called Long McArthur to work out a dealer trade but they weren't sure when it was going to be in so I called everyday until it arrived and told Bob Swope to go get it!
It looks awesome and going to be great car. I found what I was looking for by doing the legwork and research myself. The dealership did go the extra mile to make me happy and get the only car l wanted so in the end it all worked out. Can't wait to drive it to the house!

Congrats on the new car. Being diligent on what you want always pays off..

I'm just a little frustrated that the current ETA is more than 2 months after the build date. I'm hoping it'll arrive sooner, but really who knows. My dealer has 2 other GT's listed on their stock list as "incoming", I ran their VINs through the tracking site, and even though they were built 10 days after mine, they have the same ETA and are listed as In Transit just like mine. There are 22 Ford dealers in Manitoba, how long can it possibly take to fill a rail car headed here?

3 days left on my "in transit" count down.. These 2 months have been extremely long 
I feel for the guys that have been waiting longer.
I have so many mods waiting in my garage for my car that I think that's what makes it worse. I got to ahead of myself

Picked up Friday! Randomly showed up at the dealer Thursday night after going MIA, missing the deliver date and not being updated via COTUS or dealer getting info. Totally worth the wait (even though I still wish it came sooner)!

Observations as I get used to my new car.
Man I've never had a car with this kind of HP. My 2000 GT was a treat for a while but it's nothing like this car. I have a ball the minute I turn that key.
Today I finally played with select shift. I'm not a manual transmission guy so this may mean nothing since I really don't have lots of hours with a manual. Next Mustang I will get a manual transmission but for now I have select shift and I have to say I kind of disagree with complaints about the shifter where it's placed. I find very comfy and intuitive. Then again I've never driven a car with "proper" paddle shifters. I guess what I'm saying means nothing other than I'm happy with it.
Mufflers are on the want list. I feel like the car is way too quiet.
Next up is stripes and then I need to detail her.

Going over the bridge into my neighborhood, it's a single lane with 3 foot concrete barriers on either side. Went over it in my turbo Subaru (with a catback, they basically sound like somebody cut a V8 in half, same sorta rumbly pulse) and they sound was great, but I was wishing the sound came out beside me instead. LIGHTBULB! Time to order Boss exhaust for the Mustang. Just going to and from work everyday will be a treat.

ha-ha, maybe your car was the one exception. maybe there was a disgruntled employee that took one look at your car and thought to reduce the tread ware on your tires, did you check for rubber under your wheel wells hehehehehehe! totally kidding, that does suck though!

My Sales guy emailed me just yesterday and had let me know that my car is tentatively due at the end of the first week of June.
I'm confused about why he would email me and let me know when he would have known that. based on cotusb and Deysha, the car finished being built on the 28th! weird, but i hope he's right!
