I have no clue, haha. That is why I posted it to see if someone would know.

It says they're weatherstrip molds

I would expect something like that to be made by a supplier and not in house.

Who says that photo was taken in-house? ;)

You're right, that looks like my garage.

You might be reading into it too much. On sale to me means this is when you can buy it.

I think dealers will have their initial orders for stock in before individuals place their orders.

This lack of info is getting to my head I guess. Wish they would just tell us when order banks will open..

Just semantics. Nothing has changed.

Good to hear! :ford:

Sorry for the fire drill.

I was just on the "Build and Price" chat for the 2014 Mustang and asked the lady when will we be able to Build and Price the 2015 Mustang and this is what she said:

"The 2015 model year isn't estimated to be released until Mid-September of this year. Typically, it becomes available to build and price 2 months prior to the release date. Keep an eye on our website in that time frame."

That would mean orders start in mid July much later than the 05/13 date from the first post. Personally i think mid July makes more sense for 'late 2014' availability.

If the date were 5/13, why not just push it up a month to 4/17 for extra punch? seems so random.

This is going to make things so hard for SEMA 2014

As aftermarket-able the MUSTANG is, you would think they
Would give the aftermarket a chance to develop and showcase
Hot items for a new car immediately. If not, it will drag to November of the following year.

There is the chance the top customizers/tuners of the Mustang(Roush, Steeda, etc...) already have the car in their possession to have something ready for when the car hits the market.

Hmmm...I got a phone call from my local Ford dealer today that knows I want to pre-order the '15. He told me that he got word today that I would not be able to pre-order until the end of June/beginning of July. He asked if I would still be interested, but did not really try to snag me for an immediate sale of something in his inventory, so it really didn't come across as a sales ploy. Anything to this? Anyone else hear anything similar from their contacts?

Here is an update. In addition to this schedule:

06/20/2014 - 2014MY Mustang - Job Last Date
05/13/2014 - 2015MY Mustang - Order Bank Opens
06/12/2014 - 2015MY Mustang - Scheduling Begins
08/11/2014 - 2015MY Mustang - Job #1 Date

The latest word on B.O. that "MP2 build which are saleable cars is scheduled for the second week in July."

English please?

Allow me to try.

In the past Ford has had 3 prototype phases (X-1, M-1 and Verification Prototype) with the Mustang. These are non-saleable prototypes and were likely built at the Dearborn Pilot Plant. Generally, after testing these prototypes get destroyed.

The second stage are the build sequences which includes tooling trial (TT) and pilot production (PP) in which they refine the build process. This is where we are now (as we see with the picture of the Ruby Red S550 at FRAP) as they ready the plant for mass production.

Finally comes mass production where the vehicles built can be sold. There are two stages to mass production - MP1 and MP2. MP1 is where both the previous model (S197) gets built along with the new model (S550) simultaneously to ensure a smoother transition. MP2 will be exclusively S550 on the line.

If MP2 is second week of July, I'd say it sounds like it is just about on target for the schedule previously posted here.

So the MP1 end up as press cars for reviews i am guessing?
