What a bunch of whiners! :wink: When I first heard of the GT500, I went to my dealer and got my name at the top of the list.
That was Dec. of 2017 - I've waited 22 months and have half a dozen more to go, plus my order went in on 7/2/19.
I know, if you listen carefully, you can hear the tiny violins playing "My heart breaks for you" .
Chill out and hang in there!

I would appreciate it if anyone that gets a change in schedule would also post their VIN so I can update the list. I have also started to list a history (as was requested) of the updates. Please list all the dates you have received and I will include it on the list. Check out post #1 and you will see what I am trying to do.
Thanks for your help

Here is an example:

0001
Orig build week: 10/14
Next build week: 10/21
Next build week: 10/28
Updated to build week: 11/11 (10/03/19)

What's the point of the (useless) datapoints? Ford guessed early on, got updated info and re-guessed, got more updated info and re-guessed again. Now they are staring holidays and plant shut-down schedules in the face. Why does this matter a hill of beans?

$20 says not a single customer car gets built before 11/25 (maybe 50 cars before 12/30) and likely they all get pushed to after the new year. Meanwhile engines and special paint job bodies stack up in the warehouse.

Might want to use a Google Docs spreadsheet to coalesce the data.

I haven't seen any yet. I was told that there was one in production, but haven't been able to verify. I don't know how many people are aware that the Ford's Order Tracking website does not show dealer ordered cars for stock, only USA retail orders are listed.

Where is this warehouse located? Can you point it out in this picture?

I sent Snoop an update, but somethings amiss at FRAP.
My VIN is 0195. Was originally 23 Sep production date. Last Friday, my car was slipped from 8 Oct to 23 Oct.
Today, was slipped to week of 2 Dec! Confirmed by Noah and a VVR from the dealer.
Noah said most were slipped but he didn’t have any other info. Bummer...

They're usually just parked outside. When the GT350's were 'stacking up', they parked them on that old track to the west of the plant.

Holy Hell, that’s a massive push back!!! I called yesterday to get the normal 11/11 date. I hope that’s not the new push date as of today!!

That being an assembly plant, it doesn't mean the paint shop is co-located. Plus Roush is doing some of the painting. I'm sure Ford has zillions of warehouses. I wouldn't begin to know where they are.
