UPDATED MUSTANG DELIVERY TIMING ESTIMATE

[SVTFreak]

Are the 50th Ann Limited Editions ordered as stock or retail orders?

They are in as retail orders but scheduled earlier if you got in early enough. It's a but of an odd dog in that respect.

didn't they?

no they released the 1964 Mustang.

My point is if you gonna go by what they did back then, then they would have to release 2014 Mustang on April of 2014 , 2015 Mustang would been released on April of 2015

New Model Scheduling Timing - Managing Customer Expectations
Current practice is to not schedule retail orders until the early production units have passed a number of postproduction quality checks.
Once “OK to Ship” has been received, we begin to schedule retail orders within
allocation. By doing so, we improve the likelihood finished vehicles will be immediately entered into the transportation system.​

What you dont realize is that by doing so they would have had a boat load of 2014 units that NO ONE would want.
This gave them enough time to sell as many 2014s as possible and slowly move into 2015 units.

You can not compare this to 50 years ago. Back then you would have to wait to the actual YEAR for the Model Year . April 1964 they didnt release the 1965 Mustang did they ;)

If they stopped making the 14's earlier that wouldn't be a issue. They were still making the 14's on June 20th


In fact there were selling the 1965 mustang on April 17th 1964. First one was delivered on April 15 1964. While many called them 1964.5's they were all officially 1965's

Pretty sure there’s no such thing as a ’64 Mustang..

Poor customer service.

....... The first mustang actually was delivered on April 15th 1964......

There is only one 50th anniversary, and Ford could have done a lot better job for Fords flagships 50th anniversary

April to November is a big difference

I agree. Big Bang and shows about the 50th Anniversary and the all new 2015 Mustang in April 2014....

Here in the Edmonton, Alberta area NOT ONE dealer had balloons out. No BBQ organized in that week. We drove around from one dealer to the next. And don't get me wrong. The dealers here in Canada could have made their own little organized celebration in this week. Until now, most dealers have no glue what prices or order guides are there for the 2015 Mustang nor know they when production starts for the S550.

No idea why people are saying that FORD made a good job. That's one of a poor job they did with the 50th Anniversary of the Ford Mustang.

I know. You guys down south had a lot of parties to go to. (Factory tours. Dealer events). We did go to the Edmonton car show. The red S550 was protected like "Fort Knox" from the security guards and black ropes to keep people away from the car. But that was all what we could see. Lucky we got some pictures to make. We saw also the all new Mercedes CLA. Guess what? No security around. The Ladies around actually asked us to get in the car, open the hood and trunk. And the CLA was fully loaded. Kids got in and out and played with every button they could find. That's how a car company should deal with future customers and their new car!

But again. I like the S550. That's why I ordered one without touching it.

Thanks for the update. Looks like my expectation of November has been accurate! This means we will have cool air to drive our new hot rods in

'cool' air for you in the south, snow for me, haha

Correct, early Mustangs produced for the first six months or so are typically “referred to” as 1964 1/2 but all of the VINs begin with a 5, indicating model year 1965

This just in :


Mustang & F150 Delivery Timing Estimates
The new Mustang is in production. We expect retail order scheduling of the coupe to begin in late September with dealer arrivals in November. The convertible model will follow about 30 days later.
​

F150 production at Dearborn will begin in October. We estimate retail ordered vehicles will begin to arrive in February. Kansas City will begin production in Q1 2015.​

Do you work for Ford? Where did you get this info from?

I just went on fords web page, put in my zip code, and searched for 2015's in dealer stock

38 2015 fusions in dealer stock
3 2015 Taurus in dealer stock
12 2015 fiestas in stock
5 2015 Z Max in stock
7 2015 explorers in stock
8 2015 Expeditions in stock
6 2015 super duty's in stock
10 2015 transits

all are 2015's, and all show in local dealer stock, so why no mustangs on it's 50th anniversary

So is the next scheduling of vin's still in line for 9/11 or has that been pushed back?
