How!? Cancelled order?

I ordered at the end of July and my estimated build is March...

If you don't mind me asking, who exactly told you the build date & when to expect delivery [MENTION=26351]sjr311083[/MENTION] ? (darn queue-jumpers... lol)

Must be I also ordered in June and have not been told a build date yet, however I have been told to expect the car in the dealership by February.
Nothing official though I'll chase it up with the girls today.

I would be staggered if Ford knew a build date now for Feb!!!!

At the moment Late April and early May cars seem (fingers crossed) to have a provisional build date of around mid Oct. Then you can work it out from there. I reckon an early June order could sneak into Nov but anything from middle June on I bet will be Dec. Order to build AT THE MOMENT (note I have no guarantee) appears to be around 6 months maybe a little under. From then add on 10 -12 weeks is my best bet for delivery.

Grabber Blue Mustang GT -ordered 22/5/16
I ordered at the end of May and Stacey didn't have a build date for my Grabber Blue when I contacted her when she got back from vacation. So hopefully that will change in the next couple of weeks. I'm delighted for the OP but I've got to admit it got me a wee bit worried when I read this yesterday!

However, I did get a bit of my mustang yesterday (kind of) as this showed up in the post:

It's a rear decklid so I can ditch the UK version which isn't to my taste. I also plan to replace that GT emblem with the black version, along with the pony and 5.0 emblems. I got the lid off of Ebay and its in perfect condition. I know it was removed from a Mustang, I hope it wasn't stolen! The replacement parts seem to be about $900 now, so ÂŁ150 shipped was a steal imho.

I can stare at it for the next few months until I get my car in the new year, just in time for the winter weather! Good to finally post in here after lurking all year!

I predict you will be given the First Monday in Nov as build date which will then change nearer the time to 2 weeks in to Nov.........lets see if the Crystal ball is in working order !!!
