There should be some out today.
I received a scheduled week of Oct 29th today so I'm assuming you'll start seeing the Nov dates popping up next week?

Have you heard any firm dates relating to the Nov/Dec shutdown? The last I read said 3 weeks in Nov and the last 2 weeks of Dec.

Last I heard (las week) was Nov 23- Dec 26th-ish
That make a more sense than 3 weeks off - 2 weeks on - two weeks off.
Yea. Where'd that info come from?

I just got my build date/vin today! Yppppay!! Week of Nov 5!!!!! Ordered Sep 5th.
Last I heard was Nov 22 to Jan 3rd. They are suppose to finalize the dates by Nov 5th.
You got your build date the same day as your VIN? I got my VIN today and was told my current status was "scheduling for the week of October 29th", but no firm day.
I think if they change their mind again we should start an poll on the dates lol
Jan 3rd sounds like a reasonable return date, I don't see the UAW signing onto a contract that would require the workers to come back right after Christmas, work 2 days and then get off for New Year day. I sure don't want some hungover party hardy type building my car. Give them a couple days to dry out.
I got an "in the system" date of Sept 4. I put the order in with the dealer on Aug 28. No scheduled build date as of Oct 8. I am hoping to get the car before Christmas, does that sound realistic?
Have you called SVT (800-367-3788) to confirm the order status? You will have to wait until Monday to call. Make sure you have the Order Number and Dealer Code. They will be on the Vehicle Order Confirmation print out or DORA your dealer should have given you.
So if that info is still good, starting Monday, October 15th thru Monday January 14th, 2013, there are only 7 more weeks they will be building the 2013 Shelby. :uh oh: 7 weeks * 5 days * avg. of 37 cars (the number I think you posted somewhere) is approx. 1,300 more from whatever the current total is now.
I'm rooting for you my fellow AL Brother, but mine was "in the system" for 14 weeks before I got a VIN, and it was 17 weeks before my car was built this past Wed. I still have a few weeks to go before it arrives. If your order doesn't get pulled it Nov., you may not see your car. At least a MY13. There are only 2 weeks of MY 13 production after the plant reopens in Dec. We learned that any unbuilt MY 13 allocations will become MY 14 vehicles.
The info I have is from SVT. They can only tell you what they know, but I appreciate their patience. I may have made a mistake, not accepting an order for a 2014 for $4000 less than MSRP from another dealer, but I will probably just ride this one out. The dealer that made the good deal on the price has a Boss on the show room floor and pretty sure he will deal on it. Not a Laguna edition.
If Ford is upgrading it's paint shop for the new 3-Wet paint process in late Nov and Dec, it stands to reason that all the cars built after the upgrade will be painted with the new process.
Does anyone know if they still dip the body for the initial primer coat with the new system?
My dealer told me that mine would be a November build. He got this from his regional rep. So I will keep my fingers crossed!
