The cars spend 3 to 5 days on the line. The blend date is the date that the car is originally scheduled to come off the line. It's established about 4 to 8 weeks before production starts, when the order is given a spot on the production schedule. Typically it will come off on that date, unless there's a hangup (such as the steering wheel fiasco). My blend date per the window sticker is 2/8, it came off the line on 2/18, and won't be done until sometime in the future when they get a wheel on it.

We should also keep in touch one of us on the above list sees a change to their status so we might all have something to look forward to.

Yup. If people post a status change, I'll update that as well in the table. Hell, if it's a car waiting for a wheel that changes, I'll highlight the field to give the rest of us some hope.

My tracker just turned over to "in transit" with a new delivery date of March 28, but also an estimated in transit time of 28 days. I'll take it.

Of course, the last few days it has been rotating delivery dates in the past and future.

Take heart! 2019 loaded, Magne-ride GT, Ord 11/29, VIN 1/22, prod date 2/25, blend 3/01, off of window sticker, awatng shpmnt 3/13, in transt est 25 days, del date est 3/26, which changed from 3/20.

Got a call from dealer this morning, in fact, confirming on the train headed to NC.

There is a 3/09/2019 date in the bottom border of my window sticker. Anyone notice a date in the bottom border of your window sticker and what it represents?

Should be the date when you printed it (the sticker).

I've got a copy of my window sticker dated 2/22/2019, first date available. It changed to 3/02/2019, then settled on 3/09/2019, which is current date.

Just guessing, but first date is "In processing," 2nd date, day after blend (finished build), the last date could be the day they loaded it on the train or made available to load?

Who knows?

If you are talking about this date (see attachment) this is the date when you or the one who gave it to you, downloaded it.

Yes, that is the date I'm talking about in the middle of the lower border. I downloaded my window sticker on 2/22/2019 and was the first date in the lower border of the window sticker. The date has changed twice since then and is now 3/09/2019.

I was able to download my window sticker in February. 2/22/2019, in fact.

Your Mustang will probably be unloaded at the Norfolk Southern Winston-Salem distribution facility (or Columbia SC if CSX), shouldn't take more than a few days to get there.

I believe my dealer mentioned something about a Canadian train. Who would that be and where do they unload?

I had to pull the plug and bail on my order - dealer found me an almost exact replacement at the same price so I got it today!! I will still keep track of my orphan vehicle and give updates IF something changes.
