So who has ordered the new S550 Mustang?

[Ian in Halifax]

V8 Convertible Black will have to go as my Coupe is being built next week, if anyone knows someone who is after a V8 Convert in Black then mine will be available in May. Not a clue how much to ask for it…..any advice ?

Does anyone know how frequently the ships sail from Baltimore?
My friends V8 is apparently at the docks awaiting the next ship but we have been given no time scale.
Any ideas on likely landing at UK dealers?
Thanks,
A J.

Next boat is next Tuesday. I know this because my car will be on it They go every week or two via WWL or K-Line

I don't think anything built in 2016 has got on a ship yet, they still seem to be dealing with December cars... Mine was built 12th Jan and is still yet to be assigned a ship. It's pretty much what I'd expected to happen having been waiting almost 13 months now...

You may want to check that. Mine was also built on the 12th and will be on a boat next week.

Yes, when I posted it wasn't listed, it's now assigned to the Tarago - finally

How are you all tracking your cars? Via some sort of ref number?

Yup

You need the dealer to give you your VIN (once it's available), then:

Ford vehicle summary here: https://www.etis.ford.com/vehicleRegSelector.do
Window sticker will eventually appear here: http://researchmaniacs.com/VIN-Number-Lookup/Windo...
If shipped by WWL, tracked by VIN (as the Cargo ID) here: att.2wglobal.com/gstattweb/ocean.do?method=displayOceanQuickSearchResult

[AJCAY]

Thanks for all the above info.I have used VIN and got as far as getting the Window Sticker ,but I cannot get beyond this.
I now know the Build Date was 1st February(contrary to what we were told before) and was previously told the car is at the docks.
How did you guys actually get the ship name and date of departure.
The Window Sticker has a shortened VIN at the top and a separate reference beginning FLR.
Thanks, A J.

You won't see it on the ship until loaded. If you use WWL site and put your vin minus the last digits you will see cars being loaded on boat. I started with minus a digit until it showed some cars. I suspect yours won't be on tarago. Prob next ship for Feb 1st build. It's difficult not to get obsessed.

Thanks for that info David/C11 - I can see a Vin close to mine was being loaded, fingers crossed mine is as well.

[C11EWM]

Mine loaded at about half 6 yesterday. I know this as I was checking every half hour. OCD

No problem, seems they've caught up with quite a bit of the backlog of cars waiting in Baltimore with this ship!

[AJCAY]

Not sure I am getting the full facts from the links as all I can see is 3 cars listed ,which say Received at terminal. I can only get this by omitting the last 4 digits from the VIN. I know that as the car was apparently built 1st Feb it is unlikely it will be on this ship but would have thought it should show more than this.
Any ideas when the next ship is due in Baltimore?
Thanks.

Frustrating isn't it! I haven't heard back from Ford yet if mine is due for transport but hopefully the end is in sight. After seeing Gibbo's pictures I'm very excited again. This weekend will be spent getting her home ready (converting summer house/annex back to garage).

It may be on a K-Line vessel, alas there's no tracking for them though.

Mine's also on the Tarago.

I think that Mustang owners are the only bunch in the world who each know their car's VIN from memory!!!

If you just put the first 4 digits in e.g. 1FA8 or 1FAT you'll see loads more.

From what I can tell the tracking only takes you so far

Mine I la now 'discharged' at zebrugge which apparently means it's cleared customs and is now off for undersealing.

Not sure how I can track the next bit to Southampton as I assume the W&W site will only cover to Zeebrugge?

Yay - our demo car is also booked on the Tarago departing Baltimore on Tuesday.
It's been great working on our customers cars but will be really nice to have our own for shows and meets.
