Michael Morris Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 I believe you are correct! I think the the AA plant is closing for vaction. It happens ever year. Not fair but it does happen. If you DONT have a VIN this closing doesnt really effect you. Your still MONTHS away. Well I guess I see what your saying. If they were to work for these 2 weeks then YOUR car would get a VIN quicker! MM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpmurr Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 The question is will they ship all the cars they have built prior to closing the plant or is shipping not effected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Morris Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 I have seen both things happen. If theres enough cars to fill the railcars up then they get shipped, but if theres only a few cars then they will sit until the lot fill back up. I know this isnt what you want to hear, but I have had both things happen to me!! MM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFBLUE Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 This brings back memories of the long painful wait to finally get that car. Hang in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra010 Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 is the plant closing for two weeks if so why this is crazy i whant my car over three months no vin When is it closing?? Actually I thought it already had? Based on the fact I have not received mine yet going on 4 months since build. Of course if they finally ship it I probably will not have as much to complain about. :happy feet: Of course that is a good thing. :happy feet: Cobra010 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this isnt what you want to hear, but I have had both things happen to me!! MM mine has been released for shipping!- vehicle visabilit says in transit received-rail- then says awaiting shipment- thens says released- does this mean its coming?

Still Intense Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 roadpig: it means that as soon as they get to your car, it will be loaded on a train and shipped. Mine allegedly shipped Saturday night. My car had the exact same status of your current status for about a month. Released just means that the car has been turned over to the rail company; it doesn't mean that its on a rail car on its way to you. What you want to look for on VVS is a rail car number; then you know for sure that its inbound. Cobra 010: my understanding is that they are going to ship that backlog of cars prior to closing.....I am sure that our cars are in the hands of the railroad at this point.

Is this VVS you are speaking of the dealer program visions? If so as of Friday mine still didn't show anything??? Cobra010 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Still Intense Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 RoadPig: I'm not positive, but I THINK that once its been released, then the railroad can still pick it up and ship it. Cobra 010: yes, VVS is the Vehicle Visibility System that the dealer uses. In my opinion, the only thing that can verify that your car is inbound is when that darn thing can give you a rail car number. Also, tell your dealership to call their ramp (wherever the ramp is that your car is loaded onto a truck for shipment to your dealer. In your case, it may be Atlanta), and have that ramp call ramp 51 at Flat Rock to see if the car is on a train and gone..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torched10 Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Cobra mine came into Atl on CSX and was offoaded at Alled Systems yard (the old Taurus plant).

I just spoke to my dealer, and he spoke to "Cooper Transport" which brings the cars from AAI in Flat Rock, to the Rail Cars. They told us that the cars at the rail yard lines were brought BACK to the lot at Flat Rock for "some other QC issues". So, after Ralph Arning told me on the phone that my car would be ON A TRAIN by Wednesday 6/24, there was NO TRUTH to it. The car is NOWHERE. Has ANYONE heard of ANY other issues with these cars, that would keep them from shipping? Or is this just a load of shit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldgus Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 IF YOU WANT MISINFORMATION TALK TO YOUR DEALER OR FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just confirmed with the owner of my dealership, who spoke to the Ford Zone Rep and trucking company, and I will quote: "I spoke to my zone manager and trucking company, this morning. She is reiterating quality control. It seems Ford found something, on the Mustang, they did not like and called the cars back to the factory. The trucking company is telling me the same. It was set for pickup but went back to the factory." Take it for what it's worth... For all I know my car could show up tomorrow, or it could be August before I see it. If I didn't have a hefty deposit down, I would cancel this order and buy one off a lot somewhere. There are like, 9 of them on eBay now. One exactly like mine is SUPPOSED to be, for MSRP or best offer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burning Blue Star IV Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 If you DONT have a VIN this closing doesnt really effect you. Your still MONTHS away. Months away? So waiting nearly a month already doesn't mean anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if I had to travel a good distance to pick up the car. I really had no idea the whole custom factory order thing would be such a frustrating process.

shel-b001 Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Guys Guys, settle down step back from your computer & take several deep breaths .

Burning Blue Star IV Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Thanks Shelby001. You are probably right. We all just need to relax and enjoy life for the time being and eventually our cars will get to us. I guess I've made the mistake of making it a huge part of my day - meaning wondering all the time if/when I'm going to get it. And jumping on this message board 100 times a day. Again...I appreciate you being the voice of reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra010 Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Months away? So waiting nearly a month already doesn't mean anything? I am in my 4th month so no 1 month doesn't mean anything. Also this is not 07' this is 010' about time they figured out how to build a car and get it delivered. IMHO! cobra010 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope that you ALL get your cars soon . Hang in there. Wow...a three month delivery "adjustment". That's tough. I'll be driving my car in the winter...as long as there's no snow on the ground. I understand that ordering a car is not like going through a drive-thru and ordering a hamburger and having it a short time later...but this is my first experience in ordering a car and I just thought that the process would be a bit more detailed, organized, structured and systematic. I sometimes just get so anxious looking at the pics and comments of the members here that have got their cars. I'm just so passionate about mustangs to begin with and I just love these shelbys. It's hard at times to see all of that and just sit and wait. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6-Speed Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 When I was waiting for my 2007, I had a scheduled build date of 6/21 with scheduled delivery to the dealer on 7/10. I was convinced the July 4th closure would delay delivery, but to my surprise it arrived just like they said - on 7/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
