2021 Mustang Mach 1 Orders to be cancelled because commodity shortages

[cerbomark]

I guess the shipping will be as strange an unexplained as the build dates. 12-3 build to be at dealer 12-24.
@Kermut your car seem to be sitting long to get to dealer. Unless mine get pushed back??

EDIT<. Just had to call FP again. sitting on ramp awaiting PU for 12-24 arrival.

Yea, it's a frustrating process. I was in a rush to get that 0% rate but now that I realize it doesn't apply....eh.

My bigger issue will be trying to schedule pickup at Granger with delivery between various family vacations. I would hope for sure to have possession of the car by the end of January.

I feel you. Mine isn't a Mach 1 but I chatted with FP last week and was told 12/15 but today was told 12/17. I haven't gotten any emails changing dates though.

I think the last day of production is 12/23

not much more room for error

I think 5450 will be the highest. Only two weeks of limited production left.

Trivia, There are 46,000+ C8 Corvettes on the road and only 5500 ish Mach 1's. That's about 105 Mach's per state VS 885 Corvettes per state and that's without deducting exports.
You still have a very rare version and will not see many at a car show.

Is comparing a family name to a model name fair ?

Would the fairer comparison not be to compare the family v family name i.e. C8 v Mustang ?

If you are comparing models from the family, I suspect C8 1LT would be rarer than Mach … ?

Be my guest and put together your numbers for us or just want to knock these?

I’m not interested in the numbers, it just didn’t seem like a fair comparison

The point is still true though. Mach 1’s are much more rare than c8 vettes which was all he’s trying to say

Then ditch the GT and get yourself in a Mach 1 , then you will care about numbers and how rare they still are.

Now your just trying to bait me …

Why would I want to do that ? I don’t care about numbers or rarity, I made my choices and I am happy with them

Why don’t you ditch the Mach and get yourself in a 718 / M4 / 350 / 500 etc etc

It makes sense to me that if all customer orders can't be fulfilled Ford is cancelling orders for vehicles that they believe are the least profitable. This really worries me, because I'm a performance vehicle buyer. I really don't want anything "practical". I do have an F250, but I don't see a reason to buy a new practical vehicle when used will do. The only reason for me to buy new is because a car excites me that much. SUVs and pickups don't do that. And prices already seem really high to me. So in order for Ford to prioritize the performance version of the Mustang, a $60K price tag is not high enough?

I suppose a vehicle that gets taken to the track or otherwise driven hard is a lot more likely to have a warranty claim. So maybe it's not just initial profitability, but also repairs down the line. The Ford seat cooling especially didn't function very well in my GT350. I never took the car in for that, but possibly that could be a reason why some cars are cancelled. And HP cars because they are the most likely to be taken to the track?

I really hope that Ford stays in the performance vehicle market (and I mean light weight, manual transmission vehicles, not big bloated SUVs with extra power, stiff suspension and a badge). This move on their part does not inspire confidence for the future. I really hope that the vertical integration posted about earlier in the thread means that soon Ford will go back to offering more variety of vehicles and filling dealer lots.

While this makes sense in general, I believe someone from Granger commented earlier on this forum about Mach 1 having the highest margin for Ford out of all Mustangs, so I am not sure this is really the reason for cancelling Mach 1s.

 

[Ctodd1]

Don't tell WD from the GT forums that. He doesn't care about anything except his thoughts.
