Gotta look at window stickers, the website pics are always wrong.

Maybe it was an order that a customer didn’t take, maybe not. I’ve been told that Ford automatically puts inbound cars, regardless if they’re a customer ordered car or for stock, on dealer’s websites.

This the car you are talking about. My understanding is they attached an employee’s name to the order. I say this because the salesman did not correct me when I mentioned it. The other two Mach 1’s they have are allocations they’ve bought. All three have ADM.

I think a local dealer to me did that same thing. Find a way to work around the retail only ordering and then put the car on the lot with a big adm. fuckers……….

Oh man. This thread is a real bummer. I went through and read the order + lead + delivery times. In my case, my Mach 1 order (see specs below) was accepted on 08/10, so I was banking on an October delivery (i.e. based on "rational" expectations), but I see that this might not be the case, huh? I have yet to receive the "Scheduled for Production" email. My dealer told me that if I wanted to order one, they could pull the trigger, and no deposit would be required, because they _know_ they can sell it even if I back out. I've purchased many [many] cars from them, so we have that kind of flexible relationship. Is there some kind of a cut off date by which a 2021 model can no longer be produced? Thanks!

The FJG and the black/orange stripe and orange calipers are the Appearance Package.
The 19x10.5 19x11 wheels are part of the HP Package amoung other things such as the additional front spoiler and large rear spoiler.
There is no GT Performance Package option.

Hi there. I am trying to interpret your feedback. I copy pasted the specs directly from my order confirmation email from Ford. Is there something amiss in the order confirmation details? Thanks!

Mine says the same, the Mach 1 handling package comes back from Ford as the GT Performance pack. I double verified my invoice and spoke to the dealer as well, just a gaff of Fords part.

Nothing to worry about. Just shows incorrect on fords page but that is the handling package

Thanks much! Can I ask when you ordered yours and where you are (or think you are) in the progression towards delivery? Based on this thread, I am feeling like my 08/10 order (yet to be scheduled) is going to go beyond 2021 for delivery, and wonder at what point a 2021 model will no longer be produced. Thanks!

I ordered on 8/18 and Ford accepted on 8/19. I don’t expect to see her until later January or February. I work in the operating room and live in a state with high vaccination rates, yet we are seeing quite the uptick in cases. If this continues I could see further delays occurring. I don’t really care when the car comes as long as I get one! Also, my understanding is the delays in the handling pack is because of the spoiler.The way I understand it Ford won’t begin a build until all parts are acquired and the lead times on the spoiler are minimum 4 weeks.

Good perspective. Thanks!

According to Zach's post 49 above the latest they could produce 2021's is November, with a December delivery date. This is probably your best-case scenario. I assume if they can't produce the car in time to switch over to 2022 production they'll have you cancel and re-order.

That Tremec / heated seats / handling package combo seems to be the one they are slowest to produce. Just do an Autotrader or Ford inventory search and you'll see there just aren't any of these on the ground at dealers, except the one above that the Michigan dealer cheated to get.

I bet those same dealers put a higher priority on the orders than the ones most of us got so they were built earlier than all of the people like us still waiting.
