What a great group of people, helpful and as excited as I am!
swa737: I thought my 331 was a low number! 252 is VERY early, you might have one of the first 30-50 Bosses built.

I believe if he got the VIN, his dealer (or one of our helpful Ford dealership forum members) should be able to tell him the build week at this point.

And Tony, as usual, is right on money! Just came back from the dealer. He pulled his status report: my Boss is Submitted to the Plant!
Furthermore, he pulled the Preview Scheduling Results Report and the car has been an assigned build week of January 17th.
swa737: yes, it could be that low. Let's see what the build week is....there aren't that many of these being built.

Reposted for reference:
Below are the scheduling milestones dates:
Receipt Date: The date that MS&S recorded the order.
When the order is received from the dealers
Serialize Date: The date that MS&S transfers the order to MP&L and the VIN is created.
When the order is received by Material Planning and parts are ordered
Segment Date: The date that MP&L determines which week the order will be built.
When they figure what week that parts will be able to be delivered to the plant to build the vehicle
Sequence Date: The date that MP&L determines which day the order will be built.
When they figure what day that parts can be at the plant to build the vehicle
Blend Date: The date that MP&L determines when the order will be built within the assigned day.
When they figure the specific order that vehicles will be built. This depends on options and line constraints.
Produced Date: The date that VO finished assembling the vehicle
Your unit has been built!
Gate Release Date: The date that VO transfers the vehicle to Transportation Carriers for shipping
Your unit has left the building, and is in the hands of the shipper (rail or truck)
Ship Date: The date the vehicle left the Assembly Plant
Your unit has left the load site, and is on it's way to the dealer
Arrival Date: The date the Dealership received the vehicle
Your dealer has the unit in hand, doing the dealer prep thingy
Sold Date: The date the Customer picked up the vehicle
You came in, looked it over, said, "I'll take it!" and signed the papers

Based on the status, it would seem assigning the VIN is a prerequisite to assigning the build week since parts ordering is taking place. However, depending on how fast the scheduling people are processing the orders, it has seemed that the early Boss production steps have allowed for folks to see a VIN and build week in close proximity.
I'd love to talk those folks in scheduling!

OK, so I just got this email from my dealer: "I’m guessing we should have a VIN and a build week for you next week. Your order is marked “priority #1”……so , that sounds good so far!"
What does Priority #1 mean?

Brian could give you more details, but the lower priority number, the higher priority the car has. 1 is as low as it goes, so your car is more likely to be built before other Mustangs that your dealership has ordered.
