I got my VIN but no window sticker or build date yet. Maybe by the morning the online databases will be updated or it could be another week. Got the VIN from Ford Service rep on the G6 boards early this evening.

I believe it took almost two weeks for window sticker to appear after I got my VIN.
I just checked every morning until it was there.

Mine was built on the 11th and I had it on the 25th. And they had to install the remote start after it was built (for my year it was installed by the factory, but in their 'lot' afterward it was built). It depends more on the transportation timing then anything else.

Did the window sticker show up on that website? When it first shows up I think the dealer part is missing, then that gets updated later.

Yes, the transportation is always the issue. It could sit in loading dock 51.......Area 51 as Mustang owners call it. The Mustang may sit there for some time before final transport is initiated to NYS. Once the car has a build date, its does not take very long to build the Mustang. You are now on your way and have entered the next phase after a VIN # was issued. Congrats again, its worth the wait....................:rock::stang5:

No window sticker yet. Getting my info from a Ford Service rep on the 6G forum. My dealership says it usually takes 1 and 1/2 weeks for delivery once the car is built.

Well, this sucks, Ford says even they don't have access to Window Stickers online anymore. On a better note, my car is still scheduled to be built next week.

Yes, it is habit forming in a good way. The wait for my two S197's was less tedious. The orders for this model are through the roof. Last months units sold had most of the muscle car market share. I have been through this with three S550's now. Check with Ford customer service at the end of each week for a progress update. Once its built , then there is a second wait. The transport to NYS from loading dock ''51'' or area 51 as Mustang owners call it. You also will be receiving your Mustang with good weather around. My 15 & 16 arrived during winter, with snow storms delaying their arrival a bit to my dealership .:stang5:

Well that sucks :(

Not sure if you have thought about the front plate yet. My dealer asked me if I wanted my mounted or not, they didn't just do it.
I had the car for a few days while I thought about. Ended up putting it on since it was a year round daily driver and couldn't find a hid-a-plate I liked. But now there are so many options for those now.
Anyway, wanted to bring the subject up incase you hadn't thought about it. And hey, it could be your first mod :)

This was my #1 request at the time I ordered the car and I keep reminding the dealership at every opportunity NOT to put the license plate mount on.

I have already bought Craig's Custom Mustang Bracket for the car. I liked this one the best as it requires no drilling and won't scrap if the front bottoms out on something. Since the plate will be where most police look for it, I think it's much safer, too.

Okay...so my dealer calls me today and says my car is being built...today and it should arrive at the dealership the week of July 25th.

[RANT]All great news except I still can not see the Window Sticker which should have been generated 7 days ago. Other VIN numbers work using the links I have but mine does not. Very frustrating. Etis (the only website which has anything related to the car) is still showing a place holder date of 30.11.0002, too. [/RANT] :smash:

Thank you, sir. Have confirmed car is in production with an ETA of August 4th. I know the ETA is an estimate and could change. Still, that's a week earlier than I estimated and, who knows, maybe it will catch a transport earlier as my dealer seems to think.

It sure is! Can not wait to end this order thread and start the build one!

Received an Upper GT Grill and a Lower GT Grill Delete this week as I really like the GT grill look. The lower delete will allow more air to the intercooler (though the stock IC will be the first to go in September.)

I am guessing either for 2018 or 2020/21, Ford will bring back the TurboGT model with all the enhanced bolt-ons and tuning enthusiasts are doing to the Ecoboost now. It would add $3K to the cost. About what I will spend to get the car to where I want it to be over the next 12 to 18 months.
