This is to all of you guys waiting and waiting....
Here is what I did... I waited. They told me 8-12 weeks. After 8 weeks no build date or serial number. I ordered mine in January.
Come March 5th I said screw it and started making phone calls. I called about 40-50 dealers a day and eventually found exactly what I ordered. I found it on March 15th and picked it up March 17th. I was willing to give up a few options if I had to. But I didn't have to.
My advice is get on the horn and start calling dealers. I was willing to fly anywhere in the country for mine but I only had to go about 800 miles away.
Oh... and I paid MSRP, without a dealer markup. ((Rip off I call it))
If you do this you may need to pay 1/2 the tax ((in cash)) to your state and 1/2 the tax to the state where you purchased the vehicle. This was my case. I was going to put down $10k but put a little less down payment on the financed portion to cover the tax I had to pay my state is all.
Good luck... and if you need advice on how to find one let me know.. I learned a few tricks finding mine.

I just ordered a 2005/2006 Mustang GT on 4/17/2005. My options are: Premium package, Shaker 1000, Interior Upgrade Package, Side Mounted Airbags, and Alarm system. The car is Black on Black. The dealer told me 4-6 months, and of course I am willing to wait for what I want. They were not sure if it was going to come as a 2005 or a 2006. So how long does everyone think it will take? I think they might have given me a long wait time to try and hoax me into buying a 6er(was'nt gonna happen). Anyway, so I want to hear what the legidement deal is.

I just heard today that my car has been "Serialized and is awaiting a schedule date, and ETA." I posted this in another thread, and was told that it has been built, and just has to be shipped, so hopefully I will have it in a month or so.

When Ford selects an order for production it assigns a serial number. It usually assigns a build date (always a monday for the week of) at the same time, but sometimes we don't get the production date until the following week. But once you have a vin, you'll get a car!
Once the car is built, you should have it in a couple of weeks, Max.

It was due to arrive at the dealer today (4/22). Unfortunately... it didn't... so my wait goes on for a day or two or a few more. [sm=boosign.gif]

I had a customer order one on 3/9 that was given a 4/4 production date and 4/21 delivery date. It came in on 4/18 and I'm in North Carolina, so yours should be there any day.

Yea, I know. But, the waiting is killing me. Each day now seems longer than the day before. Today will be 33 hours long, tomorrow 34 hours, etc...
Maybe I should just go to sleep until it gets here... time will pass faster that way.
