Now THAT is a cool story! /salute to you too, for being a Police Officer. Thanks for what you do.

 

What I don't understand is if this "Stop Ship" is just a smoke sceen for lack of railcars. I would think when railcars came available Ford would ship the older orders first. It seems Ford randomly picks cars to ship. An example is I purchased my car from a dealer in Flemington NJ on 3/17 and my car was built in the 5/4. Another guy who posts here purchased a car in Morristown about 50 miles away from Flemington a few days after mine and built two days after mine. He received his car two days ahead of his ETA. While my car still sits in Flat Rock. This may be Ford playing politics with thier dealers. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy the guy in Morristown received his car, but WTF Ford!! They should have been shipped at the same time.

 

I ordered 3-19 just received a vin last Friday...

 

Wow...I ordered same day and mine is currently in Transit. Hopefully your wait is short.

 

I ordered March 3rd and just received a VIN last Friday as well...

 

Out of curiosity: Were your respective orders placed with low volume Ford dealers?

You folks have the patience of saints. I am sure there is a method to Ford's allocation madness. And why would Ford predetermine the percentage of Mustang models built broken down by trim?

 

Personally, my order was at one of the largest ford dealers in my state. The waiting game sucks, but I have been waiting much less time then some to get their cars.

 

it has to do with nothing other then allocation. in my case the dealer called me and said he had april allocation for a mustang and did i want it. I initialy ordered march 15th and then altered the order on the 25th. The order was picked up in the first or second week of april and then the build date was set at 5/3. If a dealer doesn't have designated allocation the order can sit in the order bank for a very long time. another thing the dealer can do is order cars around a retail order. why they would do that I'm not sure but I know it happens. the dealer I ordered from is a small dealer selling primarily trucks. I do know that after my order was submiteed he received allocation for another mustang and he called me to build it for him.(grabber blue brembo car ) Im not sure if he has a build date for that one yet but it was picked up and will be built soon.
At this point I'm still waiting on my car to arrive as it's a part of the stop ship.

 

Sweeeet,,glad to see you got it,,looks great!!

 

We just got off the phone with Union Pacific Customer Service, and as of 8a this morning (5/23) our car is in Lucerne, CO, about 50 miles north of the Commerce City rail head. It is due in Commerce City (Rolla) at 4:40p today. Union Pacific says the car will be ready for local pickup by 11:48a tomorrow (5/24).

We have emailed our dealer this information, and asked if they will have a car transport headed up there tomorrow afternoon. We will report back once we hear from him.

 

Got my VIN and build week today. Yay!

 

Congratulations! Your order, so far, is moving, at what should be the normal pace. The question is how long will it take for delivery?

 

So far, so good. The dealer said it normally takes 10-14 days after build to get to them. Obviously that's if things are proceeding normally. I really hope that timeline is good though because my $750 bonus cash expires on 6/25. I'm going to request another brochure in early March to see if I get a later dated offer but for now... nerves!

 

BOOM! Mine landed at 1600 this afternoon! Requested Friday off, will take delivery at 1000. SO EXCITED!! Got a long weekend to enjoy it, will detail and post up pics!!!!

 

Anybody with a build date of 5/18 or later have their car already? Just wondering?!

 

Congrats!! Have a great time man! No tickets!

 

Congrats! I know you've been waiting for a long time. Almost there!

 

5 days from the factory. They would have to live next door. Mine was built on the 20th with an ETA week of 6/5. Fingers crossed!

 

Mine was built on 5/18. Got an ETA of 6/09. Counting down the days.

 

Only 281 miles away, the resona I ask is because one showed up on our dealerships lot that was built on 5/17 and showed up 5/20 gave us hope for our 5/18 build but no such luck yet
