2020 GT500's Scheduled For Production - Part 2

[TomLake]

For any of you guys with completed cars, awaiting shipment, there's not much good news. I checked with
Ford Perf. by email & this was Tony's reply:

I did check myself and the car is released (as of March 22nd). Being still at the plant without an assignment, I do not know if this vehicle is going to ship or be waiting for the plant to open. All North American Ford plants are closed down at this time and I don’t think Flat Rock is slated to open until after April 20th. This may be subject to change depending on how the Corona Virus behaves.
I would give us a check back in a week or two and see if it has started to move. If we don’t see any movement, I would anticipate it being there until the plant re-opens.

I'm having a wonderful vision of my car sitting in that large lot, north of the FRAP during hail season in the
midwest. This makes the part 1 guys cars sitting on the trains look kind of tame.
I think everyone should expect at least 30 days to be added to your build dates.

Your car arrived at the end of the rail, was unloaded and has been received by a trucking company for final delivery to your dealer. It may already be sitting at your dealer.

Congrats, JJ.

Getting down towards tail end Charlie, Earl. :-( Do you have a feel for how many more might make it to Delivered?

Hope is all that's left of this screwed up process. We ordered one day from each other, your vin is about half of mine (1585), my car went through the plant one day ahead (on each step) and made it to Released/Awaiting Shipment (3/24). When they slammed the door on the last day, we were both on the wrong side of the fence. Nothing will move until state of Michigan opens back up, maybe on April 14th.

This is from the list of members with scheduled cars part 2.

There are:
2 that have been Released from the Plant for shipment
0 that been received for shipment
5 that have been shipped
1 that has Arrived Rail
2 that have been Received for final delivery

It doesn't look like much is happening at the plant as far as shipping, so I don't hold out much hope for the ones that have been released for shipment.

The 5 that have been shipped are a question mark. Some of them seem to be making little or no progress. I don't know what affect this virus is having on the railroads, but I think it has slowed everything down. I am not sure if the shipping of new cars is essential.

Up until today there was 1 arrived rail and 1 received In Transit that have just been sitting for no apparent reason. Dealer shut down or trucking companies short of staff or shut down?

I hope the one that was received today has been delivered or will be shortly.

The times are not so good.

The Mod Shop is the killer, mine sat there for 19-21 days just waiting for vinyl stripes.

Thanks, Earl and yes, very, very depressing across the board.

 

[Snoopy49]

The problem with the Mod Center is that your car goes to the end of a very long line of Mustangs when it comes off the assembly line. Every Mustang that has vinyl stripes goes through the Mod Center. That's the bottle neck at the end of the line.

 

[kilobravo]

Interesting, Earl, I never knew that, thanks..it explains many of the delays.

Thanks Earl... It's almost here and I really appreciate everything you do for all of us... My dealer told me it will most likely be Monday, they don't get deliveries on the weekends.
