Stripes take a few days to up to a week.

But the fact that your cars (as mine) had to go off-site for stripes is normally included in the o/a lead time delivery date. Ford is just running a little behind do to many factors, one being how popular the Mustang is right now.

My car got pushed back a week too (5/9 sch. dely. now 5/16).

My GT was built on 5/4, I was told by Ford Customer Service it was shipped off site for something (probably top stripe) 5/6. Yesterday 5/9 it was listed as in transit. Delivery has moved up a week from the estimated delivery given at the build date which I hope is true.

i really wish i would get some kind of update instead of the run around; mine has been offsite for more than a week and ford's customer service phone number is completely useless

Well other then stripes what else did you get on yours? I dont know what else would constitute a week, but it could also be the people they are using for the stripes could be getting backed up.

Hell all I can hope is my 6/13 delivery date sticks, its bad enough I got to wait 2 weeks after its built to get it, considering I've waited 12 weeks for them just to get started when it should have been done and here already.

It will take a 6 hr. or so train ride to the Markham railyard which is just SW of Chicago. It gets unloaded there and transferred onto a delivery truck. Cars are know to sit at Markham for a week or so ... will be even more frustrating for you being so close (vs. me 3 hrs north) if it does not get onto a transport truck within a few days.

I certainly will not be happy if you get your car before me considering mine took that train ride last Thursday !!
