Ordered but ??
So I placed the order for my Boss on Dec. 20. Called the dealer today for an update and they stated the order has not been picked yet by Ford. He says they have a January allocation.
How long does it usually take, should I be worried? Not that I don't trust my dealer, but...
Thanks for the help!

Did you get a DORA? That will give you confirmation, the order is in. Once you do, check the priority number near the top right of the page. We'll be able to tell you if the dealer is playing with you or not.
Mine was ordered on Dec. 9th with the dealer's best priority number. No vin for me yet, which suits me just fine right now.

Dealers started submitting orders around November 19th. My order was submitted a few days after that and I still don't have my VIN. Hopefully mine gets serialized soon. I've seen VIN's and schedule weeks for the first four weeks of production and they are already into the first week of February. I have no idea how they prioritize orders but my guess is if it hasn't been ordered yet you are at least into February production. Good luck.

My order was submitted on 12/01/2010 with a Priority 10. That's the lowest number (highest priority) a dealer can give an order. I received a VIN and build date from the dealer on 12/17/2010 (not sure when they got that from Ford but presumably around that time). It had been moved to a Priority 01 by the zone rep which meant it was the highest priority build for my dealer. Apparently the zone rep has to intervene on all the Boss builds to get them scheduled and moves them to a Priority 01 status. I don't work for Ford or a dealer, this is just what I've been told by others.
It sounds like it's in the zone reps hands to get you scheduled. Now that said, the first quarter production presumably runs through March and everything I've seen reported so far has been from January 17th to as late as February 5th so there's almost two months of production NOT SCHEDULED. You probably shouldn't get too worried if you don't have a VIN yet.

I am very anxious to see pics of the Q1 build cars...and dyno numbers!

Just curious what the VIN's are for the first Boss builds. I'm scheduled week of 31 Jan with last four of the VIN as 2933. Anyone else that has a build date wish to share their last four VIN num's? Fortunately, live in the Houston area so weather should not be a problem hitting the road quickly.

My VIN is 2683 and scheduled for 1/31 build. Priority code on my order confirmation sheet was 10; priority code on my build sheet is 19. I'm not sure whether a 19 priority code is good.

You have a build sheet? I don't believe that I've heard of or seen one of those. It says something other than "Dealer Order Receipt Acknowledgement" for the heading? Could you post a copy? (redacted as desired)

The sales manager who faxed the attached document to me called it a build sheet, but I don't know if that is accurate. I'm not too familiar with most of their terminology. I am pretty sure this isn't a DORA, though, and it is different from my order confirmation. The sales manager said he pulled it up on his computer. I redacted the dealership info because I don't want anybody to get in trouble over there (the last page warns that the information is proprietary).
