Mustang Migration to Oz

[Daffy]

Was checking the w&w website this morning as my car arrived in Baltimore on the 02/01/2017 and have been told mid March delivery so presumed the Figaro. Although my Vin is still showing 'No Records Found' so I decided to put part of my VIN in and see if any other cars have been allocated to the Figaro yet.

However when the results came up I have noticed that cars previously booked on the Salome to Melbourne are now coming up with Figaro in the ship details which doesn't seem right. Can any one explain this?

Just hope my 5 week wait doesn't turn into an 7-8 week wait as my car was built in October 2016 and still don't have it yet.

It is normally about 3 months from build to landing in Australia. Mine was built on the 5th Oct 2016 and I picked it up from the dealer on the 10th January 2017. Contact Ford AU on Facebook. Give them your VIN and tell them your situation. I found them fantastic - they check it out and will get back to you quickly.

Unless you ordered a black roof? They sit for another two months at the factory.

This is NOT correct. Mine was transported via train from the factory to Baltimore within 3 days of being made, then it sat at the docks for about a month prior to being shipped.

My car was built on the 28th of October and is still sitting in the US and will probably be sitting there for another few weeks after the delay with the ships.

I contacted Ford AU via Facebook multiple times and they were not helpful what so ever, couldn't even provide me with my Vin and finally when I did get hold of my Vin and found out my car had been sitting in the US for 2 months they were the ones who told me that the delay was because of the black painted roof and to contact my dealer if I had any more questions.

My car was built on 14th January. Deysha just told me it was loaded in a railcar last week, hasn't arrived at port yet. :shrug:

Looks like logistics is finding it hard to keep up with production. So there is still a bottleneck somewhere.
Based on that, I don't think I will be allocated a ship until 3rd week of Feb I guess. :tsk:

Given there are vehicles still sitting there since mid dec (build dates) dont expect much movement if any until late feb at the earliest.

Just a thought... could the delay of our cars on the 'Salome' be from the "Trump" affect?

My car was built 18th January and Deysha informed me it is now at Baltimore docks waiting and now unable to provide any further info. Suggested that I contact Ford Australia for shipping info, but from past experience with them they probably do not know. Just a "waiting game now!!!!!"

So, the original vehicles going to Brisbane and Auckland that were assigned to Salome have now been LOADED ON VESSEL. The numbers match exactly - 32 vehicles bound for Brisbane.

The vehicles original assigned to Salome for Port Kembla, Melbourne and Perth were moved to assigned to Figaro.

No more info at present but I will keep an eye on things.

Well they are lucky aren't they! Maybe the ship couldn't make up the time it lost and had to dump the rest to stay on schedule.

I feel for all you guys who have been bumped. Would be interesting to know the reason why?

My wait is nearly over. The Tamerlane just docked into Fremantle this morning.

Hi, I just got my VIN. Can anyone tell how I can now track the progress please.

All this talk is is starting to make the dealers delivery day of the 25th of march seem further and further from the truth. Car was built on the 19th of Jan.
