My comment wasn't directed at the line workers at all. They indeed build what comes down the line. My concerns were directed toward the folks that schedule special builds. To me, there doesn't appear to be any logic in building and delivering a much more recent special order, while leaving previous special orders on the back burner, unless a part is temporarily unavailable to complete the order. Then, I can see a valid reason for the extended wait.

From order date to delivery (4/9/13 - 5/8/13), I waited only 30 days, and according to Deysha, the last 6 of those days my Pony was on a truck. The final 3 days of those 6, my Pony was in Missouri (somewhere). Just seems unfair to me that some folks ordered much earlier that I and still haven't seen their Ponies. I also wonder why orders from close states, like WI, are waiting on rail cars? Seems like closer deliveries should be made by convoy. Is rail a cheaper mode of transportation than convoy?
I would of thought mine would of shipped by convoy also. The only thing I'm bummed about is waiting. I have been watching most get their car before the eta they have been told, and mine looks like it will be delayed due to shipping. Oh and the best part is my car at Flat Rock is only 7hrs from my dealer.

Hello Fellas, I ordered my 2014 Mustang GT on 4/24 and happened to stumble across this forum. I'm glad I'm not the only one that is as excited to get this beast. I'm still working on a name for her. Can't wait to have this car, as it'll be the second one I've ever owned.

Also, anyone with around the same order time as me able to share updates on whether they have vin# or any information involving the build? Thanks!

Nothing is for certain these days. It's a shame you can't go get your Pony. I know you're very anxious to get her.

Just Racarro seats. Man that sucks you are still waiting for a build date. It took a month for mine to get scheduled. I would have your dealer call the Ford Rep finding out what qtr your dealer's allotment is scheduled for.

I agree. I ordered mine on 3/11 and you ordered yours a whole month after me and already recieved yours...it's crazy I know eta's are subject to change and I don't even know why mine is waiting for a railcar when i'm only 300 miles from the plant. Deysha told me a eta of 5-9 but it was changed and my dealer says 5-13 and then Deysha throwed me a curve ball Friday with a private PM sounding like my car was lost or something lol...so It's hard to tell how ford sets up their schedule builds and why some put their orders in later than others and get them before the people who ordered before theu did...very confusing but hopefully my car shows up next week :-/

Hey Ryan, welcome to the forum. I ordered my stang on 5/1 and I have my VIN already and hopeful my window sticker and build date should be sometime at the end of this upcoming week or early the next week. You should PM Deysha as she is the awesome individual who has helped us all stay excited and connected with our orders. Depending on your dealer they may or may not give you any useful info as you can read on here from others.

As long as it gets built you're OK. Shipping won't stop when the plant goes down.

Plant is open until the end of June, still ~6 weeks away or so. Deysha's been excellent providing me feedback and updates.

I'm expecting my window sticker to be available late this week. Been 4 weeks since I ordered, getting excited!
