Gixer444 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 The 2012 model year started Oct of 2010 which I thought was kind of early. My question is: Does anyone working at Flat Rock know when the 2012's stop and the 2013's orders start? Thanks for any info you can provide. I missed the 2012 Lava Red and was wondering how long I might have to wait to see what's offered for 2013. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2012 Mustang USOB (Unscheduled Order Bank) opened on 11/08/2010, scheduling started on 12/02/2010 and the Job #1 date was 02/03/2011. Ford has not yet started posting any timetables for 2013 MY ordering or production. By law the 2013 Mustang cannot be available for sale prior to January 1, 2012. I'd expect to see a 2013 MY Job #1 Date in February 2012. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixer444 Posted August 8, 2011 Author Share Posted August 8, 2011 Thanks Ice. By the way, do you work at Flat Rock? I found an article saying the company in Japan started shipping the paint back in June. If you are at Flat Rock, are there any plans to start the Lava Red back up? Thanks again for any info.

For the past 25 years I've managed the new vehicle inventory for Bob Thomas Ford (CT) in addition to running the in-house advertising agency representing Bob Thomas' various companies. Regarding your paint question... I have not seen anything about Ford re-instating availability of Lava Red Metallic (UZ). The original Red Candy Metallic Tinted Clearcoat (U6) has been replaced with the new version (RZ) and the Sterling Grey Metallic (UJ) is being re-instated with a "Late Availability" status. Final order for Yellow Blaze Metallic Tri-Coat (NQ) were due on Thursday, July 21st. Kona Blue Metallic (L6) continues continues to be available but is subject to availability updates and estimates on a weekly basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akirby Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 What is the difference between Red Red Candy U6 and RZ? Different source for the pigment. I've been told on another forum that it looks identical and that's why they kept the same paint name but changed the code because it's a different supplier for the pigment.
