Thanks elmn8r!
My VIN = 1FA6P8CF9G5316388
Rail # = GTW310112

I'm VERY ready to get my new Mustang - any info would be greatly appreciated!
Fantom,

That railcar was unloaded in Hapeville, GA on the 24th. It is now empty and back in Atlanta on its way to Georgetown, KY. I'm trying to find out now if your car was on the railcar when it was unloaded in Hapeville. Where is your car ultimately headed?

That could be awesome news!

The car is headed to Cherokee Ford, Woodstock, GA....about 25 miles from Hapeville.:clap2:

Questions for you guys. I have a railcar # for CSX and have been able to track it for a couple of days - this AM arrived in Louisville, KY. There have been no updates for departure so it looks like it's still sitting there. Do cars change to different rail cars or railroads during transportation? Do rail cars move on weekends? :). Thanks!

How long does a Mustang typically remain at the Flat Rock plant location once it is built? My car has a build date of Thursday, 5/5. I'm trying to find out if it would have still been there on Sunday, 5/8. If so, I have a weird story...

My guess, it would have still been there - very quick turn around to ship out by the 8th. What's your story?

Sorry to hijack the thread, but here it is... Prior to a couple months ago, I had never owned a Ford, and I had never been to Detroit. But my daughter qualified for the regional USA Gymnastics competition in Detroit on 5/8, so we drove up to the meet that weekend, and we visited the Henry Ford museum to pass the time. Cool place, and we got to see the very first Mustang that ever rolled off the line. Anyway, after my daughter won the all-around for her division ( :) ), we headed back south. We passed the Flat Rock plant, and I pointed it out to my son. We weren't really in the market for a car at all at that point.

A few weeks later, I started looking at Mustang GT's, since I couldn't find any GT350's with the Track Package at a reasonable price. We visited a dealer's lot after hours to see how the different colors looked in person, and I fell in love with the Magnetic with black stripes. I'd never given that color combo a second glance online. I decided to check cars.com one more time for GT350's the next day, and what shows up in the search results for the first time but a Magnetic GT350 with black stripes, with the Track Pack, and at a price I could live with. ...And apparently it was sitting at Flat Rock on the one weekend in my life that I have ever been to Detroit. That car is now sitting in my garage.

All I can say is that it must have somehow called to me. Fate FTW!

Cool story, THX. Have you tried getting addl shipping info from the dealer? Also, don't know if shipping info is retained by FP....could be worth a call. Good Luck.
