2020 GT500's Scheduled For Production - Part 1

[Big John]

Approximate total of all the VINs for all the states. These do not include the 131 Factory VINs.

Question: Are these numbers based off only the dealer on the sales order? Or does it account for cars ordered out of state?

For example, mine was ordered in Arkansas but is coming home to me in Oklahoma.

I just found some information on a 2019 Mustang GT that confirms the information on my 2013 GT500

Blend date: 120190814 (2109/08/14)
VVR: Produced and Released from plant Aug-14-2019



With all problems at Flat Rock, I don't know if this will hold true for the 2020 GT500.
KB's car will probably be produced on the Blend date, but may not be released for shipment until a later date.
That's the way it seems to be working out for the 2020 GT500 that have already been produced, with the exception of some of the Factory ordered car.

Hey all. I made a conscious decision to purchase a 2020 GT350 instead of the GT500. That said, the GT500 is truly an awesome car and I'm excited for all of you. The wait will be worth it, for sure!! I've been watching this thread feeling your excitement.

My 2020 GT350 (chassis # L0032) had a blend date of 9/18/19, was actually produced on 9/19/19 and released from the factory for shipment on 9/20/19. Mine was delivered to my dealer on 9/25 and I took delivery that day (I live close to the FRAP). As you know, 9/16 was the first production day. I was tracking some other 2020 GT350s that were built that first week and some of them weren't released quite as quickly, but were released early the following week. Given a new model year and new model, I wouldn't expect same day release with all the extra quality checks the first produced go through. However, if my 2020 GT350 is any indication, it will happen fairly quickly for you guys, too. I can't wait to see some pics when you guys get yours!

The numbers are based off of all the non factory ordered cars (0001-0131). All the numbers are associated with the location of the original allocated dealer.

Right off the bat, I'm curious about the "DEAD" car. It seems you have a worksheet for this info, any chance of sharing? I'd like to see two sorts...one by quantity and, the breakdown of 4-seaters vs. 2-seaters if you already have that data in the worksheet.

I probably should have listed it as cancelled, I labeled it as dead because it is no longer viewable.
I decide not to track anything but production status and original dealer locations. Since most of the VINs are dealer ordered (for stock), they are not viewable on Fords Order Tracking website, which would have made it easy to gather type, color and state. Since that wasn't an option for the majority of the cars, that left me with only one source and that source would have been time intensive when trying to get the additional information. At this time I would have to view 1285 VINs which would take about 3 minutes each, 64 hours. Now that I have all the states, it only takes about 10 hours to check all 1285 VINs for status changes. I will probably only track members VINs in the future until they get their cars.

Another problem is, I had carpal tunnel surgery on my right hand and I have limited movement and some numbness in the hand, so it makes it painful to use my trackball. I have continued with the search because I figured it would help with recover of the hand. No pain, no gain.

Snoop, your dedication to all of us does not go unnoticed, I hope when I’m older and retired (not saying you are) I have the motivation to do things for others like you have done for us. I know I look forward to seeing everyone of your post. Thanks for all you have been doing, you prove daily that not everyone on these sites are just on here to argue

Earl: Dear Lord my friend, stay away from that dang computer until your wrist heals a good bit more. As a matter of fact, my wife just had the same surgery on her right hand last Monday and she's just now able to drive and do simple other things.

So don't sweat gathering all that info if your wrist is hurting...really. Give it some time.

Edit: The new one is for you, Jaime. :-)

SNOOPY49 Here is the latest ticker tape of my Build Moves, I was at the Dealer on Sat. So Many date changes, so little time before the Snow starts to fly.

Talked to Noah a few minutes ago just to see if my dates moved again, holding at week of 12/2.

Also asked if he has seen any retail Iconic being ahead, he has not - doesnt mean they aren't, just that he has not seen any.

I would assume that the "1st batch" runs to end of November, and December starts batch 2.

Are there any scheduled Iconic, Twister or Grabber in November?

Spoke with Tom and this morning and I got pushed back to 12/24 unfortunately. I asked if their will be shutdown for the winter and he said he’s not aware.
