Bob99b5 Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Had a few spare minutes so I figured I would see if VOPC had anything new. They did....... "As of June 16th your vehicle is locked in for production week of June 12, 2006. ETA at dealer is week of June 25, 2006." The June 16 thing threw me off so I had to make the ERL repeat it several times just to make sure I heard right. Chip in SC It's correct, mine keeps saying as of "June 14th". I called today and spoke to someone who verified that I'm being build next week with an ETA of June 28th. I'm hoping that it comes in early, of course!

flashfearless Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 ....this is the first time I've got anything other than "scheduled for production week of June 12, 2006". Does "locked" mean something different than "scheduled"? Chip in SC Locked means sequenced....Scheduled means segmented.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steevr Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 It's correct, mine keeps saying as of "June 14th". I called today and spoke to someone who verified that I'm being build next week with an ETA of June 28th. I'm hoping that it comes in early, of course! Mine still says "as of June 8th..." Still says scheduled for this week. We'll see if the message changes tomorrow. Hopefully it'll say it's built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcfrisch Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 FYI all, once you are serialized, your status can change daily, no need to wait until Thursday to call the ERL. Using the Vin almost never works, always use the order number, the ERL has the most trouble understanding the T88, you want to say it slow and clear. TEE eight eight. Kzinti sure helped me, hope he can come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steevr Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 The ERL changed sometime late afternoon for me (I called 3 times earlier today). It says that my car was produced (I assume today) and still says "With an expected arrival at the dealer the week of June 18". June 18th is a Sunday (father's day) so I'm hoping that's the latest it can come in. I can't imagine it taking 10 + days to get from Flat Rock to Chicago, unless they are holding the first week production for QC checks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wellll, we witnessed it taking 11 days to go to NY for Black GT...Also keep in mind that Ford does not own the shipping company, so the trucks may not necessarily be exclusively loaded with Fords...Who knows how they construct their routes!... Congratulations! You have a brand new pony. Please keep checking back in on the forum and post some pictures! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marc@kentucky Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 Thanks for the reply. I unfortunately don't have a VIN number yet. Is this something I will have to keep harassing the dealer for? Currently all I have is the Vehicle Order Confirmation that was printed when the order was placed. Thanks again, Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, since Ford put the kibosh on plant employees tracking that down for us, you'll have to bug your dealer for it. It should have been generated shortly after the plant acknowlediged your order.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc@kentucky Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Does anyone know how long after the order is placed it is normally acknowledged by the plant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcfrisch Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 :pig: Does anyone know how long after the order is placed it is normally acknowledged by the plant? Depends on the Dealer's allocation. could take a week, could take months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flashfearless Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 05/18/2006 Serialized 205605 Interesting how our serial numbers are close and the build week are the same...Maybe the numbers are less random than I thought... 64W – 18†Bullit Polished alum Wheels Don't be shocked if you get the fan blades instead. At least one person in these forums ordered the polished aluminums and got delivered the fan blades... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least one person in these forums ordered the polished aluminums and got delivered the fan blades... Yes, serial numbers as extremely close. Both wheels are nice, but I hope the do give me the right ones. (64W) sounds like some one was reading the the 64W sideways and took it for an "E". I wonder what the Dealer Invoice showed! Actually though I was bumped on the date to 7/17, it really does not bother me. I usually do not like being the first because the usual is that the manufacturers use up prior models stock parts before new parts are used and I like the crew to get use to building the new models. I once had a 89 Chrysler and when I needed parts, I had to be careful because some of the car parts were 88 and others were 89's. But.........I am contemplating on changing the order again to include the cloth top, but afraid I will be pushed back another few weeks. I might just think this one out I guess.

flashfearless Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 Yes, serial numbers as extremely close. I was planning on doing some math related to SN's later, and I have a question to ask everyone out there. Does anyone know if a SN is reused across body types? For example, could I find a T82 200001 and T85 200001? Even though it would be conceivable to do this, from a manufacturing perspective, I'm thinking that the answer to this question is no. But.........I am contemplating on changing the order again to include the cloth top, but afraid I will be pushed back another few weeks. I might just think this one out I guess. Well, I would not want to be the person to cause you another delay, but I saw a cloth type on a recent model Cobra this weekend, and it is sweeeeeeeeeeeeet...So glad that I ordered it...But in the end, it might have cost me 3-4 weeks in delay..

Well, I was concerned about the maintenance on the cloth top. I called my Bro-in-law who pushes a 2000 Benz and he said his still is in like new condition and washes well. (5 yo and no visable wear on it.) Sooooooo guys and gals......... called my dealer and ORDERED it. Hopefully I do not get pushed out another week or two. I was pushed on a prior order change from 6/12 to 7/17 and hope it does not happen with this change. Yes i heard from others that the cloth does look real sweettttttttttttttttttttttt.
