You can believe what you want, but I know I saw it on their website. Clearly, I'm not the only one that did, either.
Fall Sept. 21st to Dec. 21 (approx.)
Its why I'm hoping they will want to pull my GT premium order (higher transaction price) earlier than later. I'm hoping my 20 inch wheels, 3.55 gears or Premium accent group don't have supplier problems. ;)
The triple yellow is what's going to hold you up. ;)
What I take issue with is the assertion that a fall release was the plan from day one. I don't doubt that they told you dealers that fall was the timing, and did so from the time of the car's public release. But Ford did put info otherwise on their site at one time. You can't ret-con reality, it did happen. And, isn't it conceivable that the plan (after day one) changed before you dealers were in the loop? The likelihood is that site was built before the plan changed, and it wasn't entirely updated immediately.
It could be for sure. OR…. it could push me to the front of the line as it is an extra cost color and the extra cost color vehicles make Ford slightly more money than regular colors.
You should get what you want, even if it takes a couple months more. You will have this car for years... IMHO
I know there is at least one Ruby Red run in late august :love:It could be for sure. OR…. it could push me to the front of the line as it is an extra cost color and the extra cost color vehicles make Ford slightly more money than regular colors.
I've got to hope.
I need to find out from past years if extra cost colors like GHIG and the like were given priority or put off until the end. Maybe someone could shed some light on that.
I was just joking with you. I don't think it makes a bit of difference.It could be for sure. OR…. it could push me to the front of the line as it is an extra cost color and the extra cost color vehicles make Ford slightly more money than regular colors.

I'm certain that I took a vacation day and watched the reveal on Good Morning America and spent the rest of the day googling the new Mustang. In the last two years, I probably account for 2000 hits on the Ford web site. I spent 10 days on an all Mustang vacation in April, talking in person to Team Mustang engineering members, Dave Pericak, Edsel Ford, Jack Roush, Don Farr, MCA members who work for Ford. In addition I text and FB Message friends to the point of almost being bothersome who work in different production areas at Ford. A long time buddy of mines Father is a Ford Engine builder(pre-production) My son-in-laws father owns a dealership (not Ford) but is best friends with a Ford dealer who was at my Daughters wedding. I ping them for my ordering process questions. All of these people who are in the know, never once said it would be out in the Summer. (now you know where I get my info from) Back in 2011 when info started to trickle out, speculation started about unveiling at the NY Auto Show and the coincidence of the dates and being available in the Summer. That was magazines and bloggers, not Ford. You may work for a supplier or vendor and see confidential communication on RFB's, RFQ's, T&M requests. You are but a tiny COG in the transmission of manufacturing. Many things must come together to develop a timeline. There are long range forecasts (probably where your inquiries came from), annual and semi annual production schedules (this is where shut downs and retools are planned) quarterly, monthly, weekly and daily production schedules. Any change in scheduling after the quarterly is distributed causes mass work for schedulers and disrupts stability on the line. Huge snowball effect. If you told me you knew of an Earlier Date of production before Dec 5, 2013 I would believe you. Any changes after they announced the dates in January would cause major news from the magazines and plenty of Blog fodder. Other than this recent gossip here, I have never heard of a production schedule adjustment.
