So my car has just been scheduled to be built on the 7th. Does anyone know how long the process takes for the car to be built? Cant be more than a few days right? With assembly lines and everything.

Thanks in advance for any info cant wait for it to be on the way

 

Nice man, the anticipation is building... Not too long for ya now.

 

ive been struggling to make it through every day since i ordered it! lol ive been going to different dealers and test driving the 5.0s to get my fix till mine gets here

 

I think the build date is the date that it should come off the assembly line, not the date the build is started.

 

really? well thats great news! lol

 

Mine was built from 9/8-9/10. Looks like 3 days start to finish.

 

I believe that the production is complete the day after the build date.

 

**** and only a week to get it to you! but you are in MI correct? motown

 

It will be there soon. Just calm down and try not to focus on it for a while.

I have not though much about mine since I ordered it, which took about 6 months to determine what I wanted. Have not thought about it for 3+ weeks. Maybe I need to check in to see if I even have an ETA yet...

 

Yeah, not even a week. It was delivered on 9/15.

 

I ordered mine on 8/28 and dealer told me that this week is the build week!!

 

lol i think about it every day i cant wait to be back in a mustang. i thought a Roush F-150 would be fun but it just cant compare to my last mustang.



when i get the 5.0 im gunna try to do a similar look to my 05

 

ok well i emailed ford yesterday and got an answer today:

"The build date of a vehicle is when the vehicle was produced (completed). There are a great number of variables that may affect production scheduling and delivery:

• Option packages
• Special powertrain combinations
• Delivery delays of components
• Certification and quality inspections
• Transportation of the vehicle to the specified dealership
As such, it is not possible to provide a specific timeframe. Your sales representative at your selling dealership is in the best position to track your vehicle order.

Thank you for contacting Ford."

 

A typical Mustang is on the assembly line for 32 hours, FYI. If Ford is running all 3 shifts per day, then it is done in about a day and a half. If Ford is not running evening/overtime shifts, then it could take two full days or maybe into the third day.

 

By golly, looks like I was right...

 

indeed lol
