Yes, let me know what you find out. I'm curious about what happens now that the car is complete. How long does it take to ship out, how long is it on the railcar, how long is it in Gallena park waiting for the dealer to get it?

Haven't been on here for a bit. Here's an update on mine... Called CRC on 5/24 and they told me the car was built on 5/18 and released from the plant on 5/22 (now in transit).ETA of 6/5. I called the dealer to ask him to email me a copy of the VVR (which he did). It confirmed everything CRC told me and showed that it was at Ramp 51 (in transit) with an ETA of 6/5 (4 days earlier than last told). I am gonna get my dealer to send me an updated VVR tomorrow. Hopefully, it'll say it's on a train already on it's way. Have you heard anything new on yours?

I believe that mine is in transit also. I have not called CRC, but from what my salesman sent me, it looks like it will be here the 7th.

If I remember correctly, Ramp 51 is at the Flat Rock Assembly Plant meaning that your vehicle has been released to the carrier but hasn't left the plant property yet. Unfortunately, your vehicle may be at the plant for a while yet as Ford has been especially cautious in releasing Mustangs for shipment unless it's convinced that there are absolutely no quality concerns. Ford has consistently held Mustang vehicles for additional quality testing as CEO Mulally doesn't want any vehicle reaching dealerships that may require additional work prior to delivery to a customer. The end result is that Ford is ensuring that vehicles being delivered to Dealers and customers have passed all quality tests, etc. While any delays are frustrating, be assured that when your vehicle finally arrives at your dealership it's passed all quality tests. The wait will be well worth it, although frustrating at times!

It was built yesterday.

 

Awaiting Shipment Origin Received - D20 (Autoport Limited ) Ramp 5P, Flat Rock, MI May-31-2011

 

ETA Jun-15-2011

 

This is the status of my car as of Tuesday. My car has a priority level of 01 since thisis my second order and my first car which was supposed to be here May 7th was destroyed in shipping. So yeah i have been waiting since January and they better meet the dam timeframe I'm told this time!!!!!!!!!! I am not sure if the priority helps with shipping but 6 months for a mustang is a bit crazy!

I ordered my Mustang V6 on February 25th. (VIN: 1ZVBP8AM3C5224839)

 

It was built on May 17th and shipped.

 

When it shipped, Ford said the ETA was June 15th.

 

I just found out they changed the ETA to June 26th and that in two and a half weeks it has only made it to Gibson, IN.

 

This is starting to get really frustrating. I am starting to wonder what's taking so long and why they keep pushing the ETA.

 

Anybody else experiencing delays?

I ordered my Mustang V6 premium with several packages on March 7th (VIN1ZVBP8AM6C5224768). It was built on May 18th with an ETA to Milwaukee, Wi of May 31. Here it is June 3 and I'm still waiting.

Ok, so i'm getting a little p.o.'d here. My car is still sitting at Ramp 51. (my ETA still shows 06/05. What a joke). I called Autoport Alliance in Flat Rock at (734) 789-1752. The lady that answered asked for the last 8 of my VIN. She said they don't have it yet. That it hasn't been sent from the plant. I think Ramp 51 (Area 51) is purgatory for cars. It'll be 4 months tomorrow since i ordered my car. My dealer emailed some (as they put it) top Ford guy to see what the holdup is. I'm really tired of this wait. It sure has messed up a lot of my plans. Have you heard anything on yours?

Well, tomorrow is 6/05 and i'm sure it won't be here. Hopefully, i'll hear something on monday. I'll let you know when and if i do hear anything. Maybe they're just waiting to have enough Mustangs to fill the railcars. Who knows?

I checked with my dealer today and was assured that my 'stang has made it to the railroad yard in Chicago, awaiting final shipment to Milwaukee. Why the wait.? There is no way it should take 3 plus weeks to ship from Detroit to Milwaukee. It's not that far!! Some link in the chain from production to delivery seems to be out of whack. My order was placed on 7 March and the unit was build on 18 May. I told my salesperson that I am coming of age as a baby boomer and that there will be thousands of guys like me (Veterans and retirees with money) coming down the pike in the next 10 to 15 years, many of who would love to have another Mustang before they die, This alone could provide a significant marketplace niche for Ford and that a little more attention should be paid to those willing to pay cash upfront for these cars and that proper priority be given to expedite these possible future orders.

It's so funny you should say that. I wanted one more Mustang--this is number 4--getting all the bells and whistles and will be paying cash. My dealer has been giving me the run around and not telling me Mustangs are having issues with delivery. It's been on order now for nearly 3 months. At first, I was told 6-8 weeks--reliably. Now, I have a vin, and I've found a window sticker online--but I have a feeling I can't trust the delivery date they gave me. I could not figure out when someone spends this kind of money on a car why the dealer will not call me back with dates. The reason is because all of this hold stuff is going on. I wish they would have just been honest about it.

I just checked again. My car is in Salem, IL as of 6:40PM. Looks like it has traveled about 453miles. Not bad out of 1,290miles. Then again, those are google maps highway distance, not railroad.

Hey EvilCartman,

 

How did you get that formatted list?

 

Thanks for the rail car tracking. I will have to give that a try if I can get my Rail Car number...

Looks like we're both in the same boat. How did you find your window sticker online? I've tried everything and still can't come up with mine. By the way, this will be my second 'stang (1968 289 performance) to go along with 2 previous Camaro's (1970 Rally Sport 350 and 1973 Z28).

Ok, i called Canadian National Railways earlier today and they said it was scheduled to leave Flat Rock today at 3:30 and will be in Salem, IL. on the 9th (i think i was told 12:30). Did you call one of these numbers to get your update when you found out it was in Salem, IL.?

 

1. Call the CSX 1-800-235-2352

2. When prompted for location or weight, press "1" on your phone for location.

3. When prompted for the car initials, say CN (or whatever initials you have) then wait for the next prompt.

4. When prompted for the car number, say 907048 (or whatever your number is)

5. When prompted for next car say DONE.

6. That's it; enjoy your updated status report.

 

Union Pacific

1. Call UP at 1 800 877-5123 1 800 877-5123

2. Follow phone prompts for Trace

3. Say the railcar number complete and clearly. Example CN123456 all together

4. Listen for your update

 

I don't think i'll call until the 9th to get an update. My dealer actually has just recently started emailing me those VVR's if there has been a change. Man, i can't wait. We're getting closer to getting them. I will definitely be keeping an eye out for your updates because mine is just behind yours.

Did you actually talk to a person? The guy on the Raptor forums said to just use the prompts because they may lock it down if people start calling and talking to a person. I just called and mine is in Benton as of 8:07pm. These updates are very updated. At 6:51pm it was leaving Salem.

 

I called 1-800-235-2352

Hit 1 for location

Spoke ETTX

Then typed in on the phone the 6 digits railcar number. Spoke Done. Then it tells you the location last recorded.

 

So once we get the cars, we need to meet at one of these local car shows.

I called Canadian National Railways and talked to a person. They had no problem giving me the info i was looking for. I got the info immediately after giving them the railcar number. I'll call that number above you posted (different from what i called) and give it a try. Thanks. And for sure, we'll have to meet up and sport our new rides.
