Thanks!!

Thank. I didn't just wait. I spent 6 months searching for a matching spec or close to it, but every DH that was even close had Recaro seats and/or automatic transmission. It seems as if the dealers all DH buyers would want Recaros. Just to be sure, I took one of my Dealers DH with Recaros...

I ordered a Dark Horse on 27MAR23, first day order banks opened. It's the same spec that many others are waiting for. Blue Ember, 5M, Appearance Package and Handling Package. But apparently Ford and my Dealership can't get the S#!T together long enough to build the car I ordered. So, today I...

I'm hoping I'm in the limited availability group and finally get scheduled.

There is that, but I won't be holding my breath, I will asphyxiate!

Unfortunately, the magic is gone. The dream has become a nighmare. Waiting a full year for Ford to get their shit together is ridiculous and apparently impossible. In my case, No schedule this week = canceled order. Bye, bye Ford!!

Tomorrow will be exactly 1 year since I placed my order, well 1 year and 1 day counting the 29th of February. If not scheduled on Thursday, which is very unlikely as just about every Dark Horse option I have on my order is exhausted, I am done and will cancel and keep my money. I WILL NOT GO...

Likely indoor storage, but "Temp controlled", very unlikely.

They probably didn't purchase any of the Trofeo RS tires, likely too cold to move or store them. So, now likely another few weeks for them to stock the tires, then schedule. Sad part is that no one wants these tires anyway, every mention of these tires were they wore out in less than 5,000...

Same here. That 5.0 was pretty quick and shocked many a light to light hero. Funny, Ford even designated it as 5.0L H.O. (High Output). It was the ancestor that all later Fox body models drew their DNA from. Without it, we might not have the pony cars we have today. Lucky us, LOL!

I have owned several classic Mustangs from 1969-1970 model years, all were automatics and were a real blast, especially with a shift kit and a B&M slap shifter. My first "modern" Mustang was a 1982 GT with the 4 speed SROD, not a ton of power but it always seemed to be faster than the...

Let's hope so! Been waiting from day one 27MAR23!

My preferred solution for rust is Ospho rust converter followed by a rust inhibitive paint like Rustoleum. Brush away any dirt, loose paint and rust flakes. There is no need to remove the rust to bare metal. Spray the entire area with Ospho, being careful not to get any on the body paint...

I work at a powerboat manufacturer and can state from personal experience that unfortunately, QC is Quality Control, not Quality Perfect. Most buyers don't want to hear this, but every manufacturer's QC department has a defect tolerance level for every aspect of their product. If the defects...

Agreed! My plan also, but in reverse. Though I am still waiting on my DH, I got caught in the April "Purgatory".

At 61, when I saw that DH in Blue Ember, I knew I was going to get one. It is an early Retirement present to myself. I haven't bought a new car since my 2001 Mustang GT. I currently own a 2003 F150 Sport and a 2006 Mustang GT Premium, which is lightly modified. It's a real fun car but getting...

Good info and good luck. Let us know how things turn out. And these are the tires that Ford is soooo proud of and is using as a $hitty excuse for not building my DH HP car for 6 months, with them knowing full well that these tires aren't even going to last until the break-in miles are...

Yes, with DH HP only, not non-HP DH. They are supposed to ship loose with the splitter in the truck and installed at the dealership at delivery.

Not likely. Ford scheduling specifically called out no DH HP until April. It has nothing to do with any parts constraints. It has everything to do with the specialty summer only Trofeo tires that are included with the HP (Same for Mach 1's and Shelbys from previous generations with the Pilot...

Last Not yet. Ordered 6pm on 3/27 and last Email I got was on 14AUG23. If they are on schedule and still even sending the email updates, it should arrive in the next day or so.
