We placed an order for a 2021 Mustang GT Premium on 8/18 (Iconic, 401A, Active exhaust, black accent, automatic, B&O), confirmed same day, VIN on 9/2, build week of 12/6. I see other very similar builds on another forum where VIN received 2-3 weeks before ours with build weeks in early to mid October. These would seem to indicate that our build date should be early November, not December. I don't understand the timing of orders if as Ford says customer orders are fulfilled before dealer orders and orders are built in order received. Also, I see unfulfilled orders, some as old as 6 months on these other forums yet dealers are still receiving their stock orders and have recent blend dates on cars they show in transit. I'm not griping per se, just trying to understand the method to the madness bc it doesn't seem to make a whole lot of sense. Also, if a customer has received their VIN for a 2021 does that mean it will be built? Ford won't invalidate the VIN, cancel the order and instruct customer to resubmit for 2022 when order banks open? Thank you!
