2021 Mustang Mach 1 Orders to be cancelled because commodity shortages

[KBR Stang]

Do you think they have the same quantity in terms of parts projection needs and therefore parts for a special edition car vs. the EB and GT? Taking into consideration the current condition of our supply chain and the JIT production model prevalent in all manufacturing these days, how do you think the answer to that question integrates with the cancellations we see? Do you think the labor shortages may have something to contribute to production delays?

That's my question. I'd like to know what it's really like at Flat Rock at the moment. I mean at one point not too long ago they were making Mustangs and Fusions there. I can't imagine what its like right now. I'm assuming that that since Mach's 1's share quite a few parts with other Mustangs that ours are not the only ones getting delayed. In my mind total production per day there has to be at a minimum due to parts and labor shortages. I toured the Rouge truck plant back in 2019 and it was amazing how many F150's get built in an hour during a normal scenario. Dodge seems to have less issues with this since my friend ordered his Charger Scat Pack the same time I ordered my car and got his in the 8 weeks the dealer quoted. Different scenarios I know but maybe they have a better projection system. The point is I think more cancelations to come....although I have my fingers crossed for everyone still hoping!

I honestly think that the words special edition, pandemic, labor shortages, shipping shortages, parts shortages and people wanting special edition cars doesn’t seem to go together really well. Somehow though, I’m not really surprised..it’s so 2021.

Just tried ordering a 2022 MT6 non HP 700A from my local dealer. He called back and advised that their Ford Rep is saying that Ford isn’t taking orders for 700A on the 22 Mach’s. Has anyone heard this? For what it’s worth the 700A option has been deleted on Fords website for the 21 Mach 1.

The 600A is for the base model, the 700A is standard on the premium model. The website shows this. As far as what your dealer said, who knows? Try calling Grainger or Chapman and ask them.

a bit outside baton rouge.

What color are you going with? RR here. Also, I ordered through granger, it is worth the cost of the trip on the savings, especially vs what all the local dealers are offering (ADMs)

My original order was a silver 21 but it just got pushed from 11/15 build date to a 11/29 build week. Not looking promising. If I had to order a 22 I’d go with dark matter grey as we can’t get carbonized.

oh yeah, you are in the pit right now, it is where the parts for your car are overdue, and Ford doesn't have confirmation yet on if they'll make it. in two weeks with no updates it probably won't be good :/ that is what all of us with HPs saw about 2 weeks ago, and many got cancelled within the last week.
