Here we go again,,seems ford ironicly has too many mustangs piled up although our retail orders are not filled. this is because the "OK to buy" wasnt achieved before they started filling retail orders. Now they will shut down for at least a week. Unreal

I just got a report from my dealer. Car was sent to plant-in production as of today. It doesn't show a production date but it show an ETA of 4/22. I'm sure I'm still 4/14. Still no window sticker. I might try to find another VIN from another car and try to see it it works.....stand by.....
Ok I tried anothe VIN (sorry Hawk, it was yours) and the sticker does show up.

The window sticker normally shows up close to the build week.

I think this has been the hardest few days of my 4 month wait. I think the car has made it to the dealer as I seen about 4 5.0 in the back lot on my way home.
My sales guy is off on Tuesdays so I didn't get a call and was hard not to stop and ask. I will hope to get the call tomorrow.

Attention members,
I would like to clarify something posted by OAC Sparky. There is no one employed by Ford Motor Company globally by the name of Avril Fuls. Given the timing of the posting, we believe someone might by trying to pull an "April Fools" joke on this topic. As seen in the press recently, there is a shortage of a metallic paint pigment produced exclusively in Japan that affects the entire automotive industry. We are limiting production of Tuxedo Black, Royal Red, Red Fire, and Red Candy for select 2011 model year vehicles. However, Mustang is not affected since we are building 2012 model year vehicles and the pigment in short supply is not used in the Mustang Black. Thank you for your support.

So you were given a build date of 4/11, but no window sticker yet? That doesn't sound promising. I'm pretty sure someone with a 4/15 build date got their window sticker a couple of days ago.
My build date is supposed to be 4/18, but I'll believe it when I see my window sticker. My dealer called on Friday and was told my ETA is 5/2 which could jive with a 4/18 build date.
In the mean time, I'm also hoping to hear back from Deysha with an update.

I sent you an update yesterday. I hope you received it.

Still... I'll feel much better once I get a window sticker. I was hoping I would see it by now, but I guess it's too soon. Perhaps Monday.

Just joined TMS today. Came across this thread and liked what i saw. Very impressed by Deysha. She seems to keep people here sane. Anyways, i have a 2012 Grabber Blue GT Premium Package on order with not to many extras. Ordered on 02-15-11. All i get from my dealer is the order is on hold. I know i'm in the same boat as most everybody is on this thread. Can't wait until i get my ride.
