I received my production date as well this morning & pretty much the expected date based on following this thread...though was hoping for slightly sooner of course! December 6th production date it is (for now) :-)
I gave Customer Service (800-334-4375) a call to see if they could tell me my VIN, but they sadly said that only the dealer could retrieve that. No worries, Jay@Granger said it would be most likely be available by tomorrow...
Thatās awesomeā¦I mostly want to get it covered with PPF & Ceramic before I take it X-Country home, but will get the hood lifts on, really should come with themā¦a little hood kick stand seems out of place!
Ok, curious on parts you're having shipped to Jay? I was going to reach out to him at some point as I will be switching out tires and would like Ford Performance hood supports added...probably will have a cover shipped there for the ride home as well. Is that the kind of thing you're sending...
I emailed Jay@Granger today and he said he received "a notification it is previewing today, so I should have a VIN Thursday". I asked what a "preview" was and he said it's essentially the last opportunity to make any changes to the order before assigning the VIN.
Fingers crossed...
It's now been nearly three weeks since my order was confirmed by Ford via email, but still no follow up with a VIN? Is three weeks a little long for most? Hoping to jump to the next phase of The Waiting Game by obsessively compulsively checking for the build date:-/
Not related necessarily to a Mach 1, but for all those "patiently" waiting, I put together a distraction video on YouTube combining my song "Take Flight" with a Top Gear episode featuring Ken Block and Matt LeBlanc taking a quick tour of London in a somewhat modified Mustang:-) Happy Sunday
Ooo...there's hope yet for early December...or possibly false hope, but I can work (delude myself) with that! I'll relax much more (a lie) once I get the VIN#...baby steps. Admittedly, the wait is giving me a great way to get to sleep at night, envisioning shifting away out onto the open highway!
Thanks for sharing! That is the plan, Iāll make a game time call after a close look at the weather and choose the best of the three routes Iāve mapped out:-) Iāve driven them all and all our beautiful drives, Iām looking forward to it!
I'm actually heading out of town to Atlanta for a lengthy bit of training for my new airplane! I appreciate the offer, but I'm sticking with my original order thru Jay@Granger, I really want that particular build!
Here's my signature: Ordered from Jay@Granger Aug 10th: 2021 Mach 1 700A ...
Thanks for all your replies, most logical and reasonable I'll admit! I think I just needed the splash of water to the face, so to speak, to cool my jets:-) I'm better now...going for the long haul to get the one I really want. Cheers
Dilemma...it's been two weeks plus since placing my order with no VIN or Build estimate as of yet (see signature below), very concerned regarding a probable Dec/Jan delivery (my guess) and getting it back to the Seattle area and over the Cascade mountain passes from Iowa. Freak snowfalls...
My only concern is getting it over the mountain passes of the Cascades in December, hit or miss at that point when the snow flies! If I have to drive to Southern California & turn north, Iāll do so:-)
Sadly I don't, I'm actually transitioning from International flying back to domestic, and we handle mostly West Coast type trips, though we do cross the Mississippi going to Atlanta, New York, Detroit, Florida, etc. I'll be in training next month for the Airbus A220, so if you're ever on a Delta...
I would love to show them on the actual car, but that's a few months off! Here is my first choice out here in Washington State w/"P51M1". I'm a pilot with Delta Air Lines, so it works well I think! Other choices were 21P51M1, SOFS761, or SOS761M, but had to shorten for the aviation tag. (The SoS...
I ordered the same day as you from Jay@Granger, nothing as of yet for me either...Jay said if a VIN is assigned this week, it would be by this Thursday...fingers crossed! (My build is below in the signature).
