"Un-sellable" pre-order from May

[Process]

I ordered May 20th as well, but it was a retail order. It got delivered on 11/13 and I took delivery on 11/15. Almost 6 months.

2 identical orders on May 20

My dealer placed for me a Stock and Retail order both submitted on May 20th, same exact order. The Stock order was actually produced August 28. I thought that was great and was anticipating getting it a couple weeks after OKTB. However, 1FA6P8CF7F5301936 is still sitting at FRAP, and was even reassigned to a different dealer last month, but is still sitting HOLD-AT-PLANT IN YARD (at this point it's been sitting outside for over 3 months).

The Retail order didn't get a VIN until October 30th, was scheduled for December, and is now scheduled to build week of January 5th. This unit 1FA6P8CF6F5332479 has an ORDER SCHEDULING COMPOSITE started on May 20th and still has not been built while other GTs are rolling out-the-door to all you guys.

I gave up on both these back in October and submitted an additional new order on October 15. This unit got a VIN on October 30th (it is a sequential VIN to my May 20th order, does that make them identical twins?) and is scheduled to build week of December 15th. So, even based on dealer allocations, equipment availability, etc. it appears to be random how Ford is scheduling vehicle builds. It makes no difference when you place your order, it will be randomly built whenever Ford gets around to it.
