Earl,
I would just like to know WHAT they are inspecting the cars for and when the hell they will get to Milpitas, CA and release the car to the dealer. Of all the new Mustangs I've purchased since 2011, I don't think any of them have ever been parked outside for more than 2-3 days...
Well, you may not be facing a Stop Ship Hold like mine if Ford does whatever they're going to do at Flat Rock before shipping. I received information from another "expectant" CFTP buyer that Ford Engineers are driving (NOT flying) to the rail yards to do whatever they have to do...... I told...
Well, once again another week, and no word from Ford as to when 0837 is going to be released from the rail yard. Been sitting out in the open in 80 + degree weather since June 17th....4 weeks this Wednesday. Apparently there are 40 other CFTP cars that are in this same situation throughout the...
I feel your pain. My car was ordered on 7/1/2019 and finally built on March 6th. Hope the spacers is the ONLY issue as my car is "marooned" in Milpitas, CA. Dealer has been told it won't move until July 31st or after. Received this info only after posted something on Facebook...
It appears that 3 of the 4 GT500's marooned with mine have had their status changed to "Delivered". Here's hoping whatever needs to get done is done soon. Twister Orange will not look good as Faded Pink after so many days in the sun....
Well, 0837 is still stuck in "Purgatory"....UP Rail Yard in Milpitas, CA due to a STOP SHIP order from Ford. Transport company cannot haul it to the dealer which is only 24 miles away. Been there since June 16th, and the hold was placed on the 18th. Already 2 weeks just sitting in the sun...
Ford has placed a STOP Ship HOLD on my GT500 CFTP. It cannot be delivered to my dealer which is just 25 miles from the UP Rail Yard in Milpitas, CA. No one knows the reason for the Hold, although there is some speculation it is an inspection issue....but no one knows for sure! Even @Snoopy49...
CIndy,
Maybe go to Ford Performance's Live Chat link on their homepage on Monday and ask them. Here's a link to their Contact Us page. Chat tab is on the bottom of the page. https://performanceparts.ford.com/contact-us/
Here you go......

One thing I discovered is that when providing the rail car's Initials (letters) and then the numbers, it's easiest to "translate" the letters to the 2 digit number that the letter...

Can’t thank you enough for all your information and encouragement.... You’ve made these 11+ months of waiting almost bearable.......
You’re the best
0837 is at the End of the Line in Milpitas, CA Once unloaded from it's "home" for the last 11 days....ETTX 852567.... it's off to the dealer by carrier, just 28 miles away. :clap::clap::clap:
I understand what you are going through. My original post was back at the beginning of April. , more than 2 months ago. A lot has changed since.
The only response I got to my post in this thread was from Harry, PP0001 on the Forum. He was helpful, but I had already spoken to the leads he...
KB,
I wasn't aware of a separate UP phone number. The CSX seamlessly continued reporting the locations , but it did add "UP" in the quote at some point...I wasn't paying attention when it started doing that.
My Tracking Experience so far with CSX Rail Shipping Information via Phone:
My GT500, 0837 is now just a day or 2 from arriving at the rail yard in Benicia, CA as it passed through Wendover, UT/NV at 0630 hrs today. From Benicia it's just a short haul by transporter to The Ford Store in...
