Been looking at an 18 EB for the wife for a couple of weeks now and we finally got to get her in one to drive yesterday after we went and saw Super Troopers 2 (funny as fuck BTW). She drove the EB first and liked the interior, cooled seats, and new digital dash display (kinda jelly about it), then we drove the 5.0 so she could feel and hear the difference. The GT put a big smile on her face and she gave me that look. Soooo, our new Ruby Red GT Premium will be here in a few weeks. We will be a 4 mustang family.

It is a current allotment the dealer already has, they just hadn’t ordered it yet, so they changed it to my specs.

Yes, you are correct, but if dealers already have inventory cars in the system, they might agree to pull one and insert a customer order. My dealer had a bunch of Ecos scheduled for May builds. He pulled one at the end of March and inserted my order for a GT Premium. Car will be built week of May 7 and EDD is 1st week of June. The last MY18 cars will be built in early June, so we may be approaching/past the point where this can be done. It also helps if you have a long term relationship with your dealer.

You might want to verify that. MY18 ordering ended some time ago. All MY18 scheduling has also been completed. If they had an existing order for a stock vehicle that had already been placed and accepted, they could probably change the specs on that order, but it would be subject to any option constraints that might exist depending on what you wanted. If it was just allocation they had but had never submitted an order for that allocation, pretty sure it's too late for any new orders to be submitted and accepted.

18 or 19 doesn’t really matter I guess. Just as long as it comes how we ordered it. What’s the differences if any between the years?

If it's a 2019, it won't be here in a few weeks.
Yeah, so.....
Just found out today, all their allocations have VIN’s assigned and our order is not going through. So we’re looking at a 19 now. Not sure what the production timeline is though.

Sales numbers are down, it seems either Ford is reducing build volume or something. I had to go find the car I wanted because of long order times. If Ford wanted more sales why the frig don't they build more car since the demand seems to be there?
