2020 GT500's Scheduled For Production - Part 2

[chase99]

Four weeks this Thursday at Penske and then I assume another 4 or more like yourself at the rail yard! Ordered 7/11/19!
Should be a 2021 Model year by the arrival time!

Well, you may not be facing a Stop Ship Hold like mine if Ford does whatever they're going to do at Flat Rock before shipping. I received information from another "expectant" CFTP buyer that Ford Engineers are driving (NOT flying) to the rail yards to do whatever they have to do...... I told the dealer that if the condition of the car is not satisfactory I will ask them to provide me a 2021 Golden Ticket allocation (assuming they get one) and they can sell this one to someone who may be on a "list" behind me.

I have heard that the inspection is being done by a 3rd party contractor as far as the remote inspections is concerned.

Earl,
I would just like to know WHAT they are inspecting the cars for and when the hell they will get to Milpitas, CA and release the car to the dealer. Of all the new Mustangs I've purchased since 2011, I don't think any of them have ever been parked outside for more than 2-3 days...

Hmmm, is that a new stage? It’s been back from Penske for a few weeks sitting somewhere. Oh well, next stop Japan! ;-)

Thanks Snoop!

I can't believe it's still sitting there. I think my car should arrive in Milpitas today or tomorrow, it was last spotted in Oakland, yesterday. Hoping your car gets out of purgatory soon! I know TFSMH will do the right thing by you and hopefully this time outside proves to be a non-issue.

Have good thoughts, Chief...I feel sure she'll be fine after a good wash and wax. Good things come to those who wait. :-)

Has anyone been able to track a railcar through CN (Canadian National)

Shame on them, shame. That sucks.

Well, once again another week, and no word from Ford as to when 0837 is going to be released from the rail yard. Been sitting out in the open in 80 + degree weather since June 17th....4 weeks this Wednesday. Apparently there are 40 other CFTP cars that are in this same situation throughout the US . It's not so much the time since ordering (7/1/2019) that concerns me, but it's condition upon receipt at the dealer. Ford doesn't appear to have a lot of respect for purchasers of their "ultimate Mustang" They shoot horses don't they?

A whole lot of "I dont give a F" is going on.

Checking to see if “Shipped Convoy” actually means the vehicle has been assigned to a car carrier or it has actually left the rail yard and will be headed to the dealer tomorrow.

The stage has been around for a while, your car had been Received Awaiting Shipment since 06/25 and it was just pulled back into production today for an inspection. It should be released for shipment sometime this week.

For now, at least, that's true Stephen so I'm going to make some money during this Plague if it kills me. <grinning>
I’m ready to buy how so?
