I was told by my dealer, who called his rep at the Flat Rock Plant, that EcoBoost with a 6-Speed manual has been pulled from OKTB. I don't know how much credence I'd put in that statement at the moment though.

So... I have an update. There appears to be some confusion at my dealership. One of the Mustangs they ordered was indeed damaged. When I called to inquire about my order, they looked up the wrong number. So apparently my order has not been damaged, some other unfortunate person's car was...

I'm just going to reiterate: I did not order this as stock. I went to the dealer that my family has been using for 20+ years, told them the configuration I wanted, and they placed the order as stock when the order banks opened. I wasn't asked about stock vs retail. In any case, the information...

None of these cars are "our" cars until paperwork is signed and money changes hands. I didn't ask my dealer to place the order as stock, that's just what they did. I've never ordered a new car before. Prior to this, I didn't there was a difference between "retail" and "stock". So you're...

I'm still waiting on more information. The factory told my dealer it "was damaged." Maybe trying to get it on the vehicle carrier? Who knows. It was also completed after OKTB, so it's probably not a quality control issue.

I placed the order in May. The dealer put it in as stock.

My car has been built since 23 September according to COTUS. After waiting for three weeks for it to get past "Awaiting Shipment" I called my dealer to see if there was any new information. Apparently it was damaged at the plant. Damaged so badly that they won't release it, and have to build...

Build completed the day after OKTB.

Don't get too excited. Mine's been "Awaiting Shipment" for three weeks.

I don't follow. The window sticker has a build completion date of September 19.

1. 2005 Ford Taurus SE (Yeah, it's okay to be jealous. Seriously, it's been a good car, bought in a pinch.) 2. Two Ford Ranger 4x4s, 1976 Jeep CJ7 3. My first Mustang. My father owned 3.

Wow, LA? How is that even possible? Mine is basically the same car, and it's been completed for over two weeks. It'll take about an hour for the truck to drive from the Flat Rock plant to my dealership, and yours got to LA by train first! Congrats. I'm not... y'know, jealous or anything. ;)

I check COTUS at least twice a day for no good reason. "Awaiting Shipment." It's sitting in a factory parking lot a 90 minute drive away from me! Dear Ford, I will come pick it up from the factory RIGHT NOW. I'm pretty sure I can be there in an hour flat.

WSJ/Dan Niel eco-boost review The 2014 Formula 1 season brought in new rules: 1.6L V6 engines with turbos and regenerative braking with hybrid electric systems. The previous rules required a naturally aspirated 2.4L V8. All anybody did for the first 3 or 4 races was complain that the cars...

This just makes the words "Awaiting Shipment" ring in my ears ever louder. Congrats.

Huntington Ford was where my family got all their cars for years and years before I moved out of Metro Detroit. Maybe I should have placed my order there! Damn you lucky bastard you.

Agreed. Actually, not even the wing. The wheels I like. I'd even like to see them in black.

Yes, I have an EB Premium with a VIN. According to cotus, it entered production today.

I don't know about other people, but I'm by no means embarrassed to have the EcoBoost. In fact, it was the availability of the engine that made a Mustang an option for my next car. I just think that badge is ugly.

I agree, I hope they don't put it on the exterior anywhere. And if they do, let's at least hope it's a monotone one and not the blue/green one.
