Hey allmightycow, I'm in the same boat as you. I ordered my Shelby on 4/3 and was told the same 6-8 weeks. At this point nada. Nothing at all from the dealer and a couple updates from Deysha telling me nothing has changed. It's a new month so maybe something will happen for the both of us very soon. I'm starting to get worried about the month-long shutdown starting the last week of June. Hopefully our cars are built and out the door long before then.

Deysha sent me a PM and said since it was a Shelby, it can take a little bit longer to build. Apparently my car was just waiting on a schedule date, and I'll get the VIN when it posts. Hopefully that isn't too long.

You should send Deysha a PM and ask about your car. I'm sure you'll hear some good news

Congrats again on your order, theallmightycow! I sent you a PM.

Woo hoo! You’re welcome, Varilux.

Maybe… if you send me a PM.

Thanks and you’re very welcome, Purplekrab!

As theallmightycow mentioned, the Shelby is part of our Specialty Vehicle line and production/availability can vary from the typical (6-8 week) ordering time frames, saparish. You should check what quarter your ride is set for.

I also have it set up for my service tech at QuickLane (and I) to take it for a spin on I-44. He quoted me $67.95 for servicing too. That's cheap.
By "servicing," do you mean an oil change?

In my excitement over getting my build date, I downloaded the 2014 Owners Manual last night and started reading... I did not realize the 5.0L holds 8 quarts (and with the recommendation for Track Pack cars being 5-50W synthetic oil, that's going to be quite an $$$ oil change). So, $68 would be quite the deal!

Yes. Larry Holiman at QuickLane always gets my oil change, tire and alignment business. He takes care of Mom's '01 Grand Marquis as well. Larry told me they buy full synthetic in bulk, getting a better rate, so they can sell the oil changes (with FL-500S filter) for the 5-quart price. Otherwise, the 5W-50 is around $9 per quart anywhere you go. He also said I could opt for the Mobil 1 at the same price, but I will more than likely stay with Motorcraft. It has treated me well over the years.

Yep. She holds 8 quarts. That's why there's been a dry dipstick rub on the forums. Techs aren't ensuring the 5.0 is full. They just throw in 6 quarts and roll 'em out.

I ordered a Sterling Gray GT/CS as well, but way back in March! Been over 6 weeks with no VIN or anything yet, and it's driving me nuts. I'm waiting to get an update from Deysha now. Maybe they'll build ours together!

Can someone please help me with this, the below is an email from Deysha, I am sure I am over thinking this and Deysha is always very accurate, But my car is set to be built on 5/13/13. is the 6/5/13 the new ETA as she says it now has a new ETA or will that be changing to sometime in May. I dont see how it could take that long since I placed the order on 4/1/13, I have noticed some other customers who ordered later than me have an ETA of 5/30. The reason this is so important as I'm running out of time with other things. I'm selling my current car to my mom and dad and was hoping my car would be in at the end of May like my dealer told me. My dealer gave me an ETA of the week of the may 27. any help would be great. and thank you Deysha I am sure I am over thinking this.

You’re very welcome, Trent! They’re already in production and have a new ETA. It now shows Jun-05-2013 to your dealer, which is subject to change. You can check with me weekly for updates. Have a good one!

The ETA's are just that. Estimates. It looks like you are in Michigan so you shouldn't have hardly any time in transit once its built. I think that you will get it before the end of May. Mine came in about a week before my ETA.

i ordered my gt 500 on 3/5/13 from a dealer that has not used any gt 500 allotments (so they claim) i know nothing more now than i did when i wrote out a deposit check for the car, the waiting game goes on

Hello everyone I'm new to this site and thought I would join in on this long but informative thread. I just ordered my 2014 Mustang on the 1st of May. I was wondering if anyone could elaborate on the closing of the factories. Is this gonna slow my build down since I just ordered on Wed.?

Welcome and congrats, Ajcruz1! Be sure to PM me with your dealer’s name and order number so I can track it for you. Also, the plant will be closed next week.

+1 My first special order. I feel like an expecting husband in a maternity ward waiting room.

Same here. My last update was last week. So I hope nothing has changed, well if it arrived earlier I won't be upset.

Missouri Hoss

WOOOOHOOOO!!! My Race Red GT Track Pack is built and Deysha said it shipped out today!!! Dealership ETA=5/10/2013. Like Phil Robertson says, I'M HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY.

VIN received today Progressing slowly but surely

Guessing another 4-5 weeks, which would fit my schedule perfectly

I stopped by the dealer on the way home- just to see if they had any of the 2014 brochures (nope). My sales rep must have recognized my '65 pulling in, because he met me at the door and said "I already have them looking up the info on your order's progress."

To which I said, "Oh, I already have my build date- Deysha told me it had a blend date of 13 May!" (I then explained the wonderful customer service available online from Deysha.)

So, after quickly establishing they have no 2014 brochures (and spying an Ingot Silver GT on the lot and once again wondering if the Sterling Gray was the right choice - I think it was), I hop in the car and start it up.

Before I can pull out of the lot, the sales guy runs up to the car and says "Hey, when our guy pulled up your order info it showed your car has already been built. It may actually be HERE by 13 May!"

Now, I'm a manly man- but an objective observer might describe my demeanor since receiving that little bit of news as bordering on giddiness! The blend date on the sticker says 13 May... maybe the factory got a bit ahead of schedule? The little code on the sticker still doesn't bring up a preview of the car online- so I figured it wasn't in the system (built) yet...

Before I get too excited, though- I'll wait to PM Deysha on Monday and get confirmation that the car has actually been built and is in fact on its way. THEN I'll start bugging everyone to know where that train is. (Point that train towards TEXAS...)
