Will it begin soon I hope

 

i thought i saw somewhere that its already started. i might be wrong

 

I thought Ford was still producing 2014 Mustangs at least to the end of March.

 

From another site....

In the past Ford has had 3 prototype phases (X-1, M-1 and Verification Prototype) with the Mustang. These are non-saleable prototypes and were likely built at the Dearborn Pilot Plant. Generally, after testing these prototypes get destroyed.

The second stage are the build sequences which includes tooling trial (TT) and pilot production (PP) in which they refine the build process. This is where we are now (as we see with the picture of the Ruby Red S550 at FRAP) as they ready the plant for mass production.

Finally comes mass production where the vehicles built can be sold. There are two stages to mass production - MP1 and MP2. MP1 is where both the previous model (S197) gets built along with the new model (S550) simultaneously to ensure a smoother transition. MP2 will be exclusively S550 on the line.

 

2015 production should begin around fall time, 2snake. We’ll know more specific numbers the closer we get.

We are still building 2014s, 2 Go Snake. We’re good until around summer time.

Thank you for the info, Twin Turbo. Dates are not set in stone as of yet. These are estimates.

I hope this isn't unfortunate timing on Fords part.

 

Not at all unfortunate. More people will have time to warm up to the 2015 Mustang. I have a feeling Ford has not revealed all the details about the 2015 Mustang and are waiting until production starts to excite new customers.

 

Let me clear this up for people I talked to my plant manager and pre orders are going to start in late spring April/May and production will start after the July shutdown which will take over a month the lines will have to be retooled big time please be patient
