My 2017 was built in one day according the the paperwork.

Ha, there's no way that happened. Ha.

Do you mean mine or yours?
Mine was bucked 04/19/17, built 04/20/17, released 04/20/17

That's crazy, man. What's taking mine so long?

Maybe it was just faster in 2017. However, mine also took about couple days this month. Maybe there's shortage of some parts which you included in the order.

I got told options such as MR and black roofs slow the build, do you have any of those ?

My window sticker was created on 9/15... Blend Date was 9/24. Released for shipping 10/6. Arrived at the dealer 10/14.

Took mine 3 days to build.

My car was built on the blend date (March 1st 2019).
My shipping date changed more times than I can count. It shipped 3 months later! I waited a total of 8 months to get my car. Ordered it in the beginning of Jan and drove home in Aug. I relate to everyone’s frustration. By the time I got my car I needed to talk to Doctor Phil!

I have about every option including Recaro and MR.

What took so long?

What took so long?

Never got a reason from Ford or the dealer. I wasn’t the only one in 2019 that took 8 months to get a car. There many of us! There were rumors of shortage of stripes, waiting for steering wheels, shifter replacements etc...etc! No information from Ford at all. Now that I have the car I’m extremely happy with it. When I ordered it, I never imagined it would take that long. It would of been nice if Ford was up front and informed dealers and customers what was going on! I’m really looking forward to seeing pictures of everyones new Mach 1s when they arrive! Nothing like the feeling of driving a new car home for the first time!

The blend date is final assembly, when the car is completed. The build starts a couple days before that. The cars are never totally built in one day. Body assembly and paint happen before the blend date, for one.

it's not necessarily. Ford IT is notoriously unreliable and/or laggy with their database updates. I think I remember seeing somewhere that it only takes about 4hrs from start to finish. But that's not including chassis weld, prep, paint. Just final assembly.
