I thought I better clarify this,so here goes!

1-Receipt Date-The date that MS&S (Marketing Sales and Service) recorded the order.

2-Serialize Date-The date that MS&S transfers the order to MP&L (Material Planning and Logistics) and the VIN is created.You have to get the VIN from your dealer.

3-Segment Date-The date that MP&L determines which week the order will be built.

4-Sequence Date-The date that MP&L determines which day the order will be built.

5-Blend Date-The date that MP&L determines when the order will be built within the assigned day.

6-Produced Date- The date that VO (Vehicle Operations) finished assembling the vehicle.

7-Gate Release Date-The day that VO transfers the vehicle to Transportation Carriers for shipping.

8-Ship Date-The date the vehicle left the Assembly Plant.

9-Arrival Date-The date the dealership received the vehicle.

10-Sold Date-The Date the customer buys the vehicle.

Whew,that's a lot of typing but should take care of most of the questions.

Hello 07 Shelby,

I though I would ask this so you only need to answer once vs 100 pm's.

Once you have a serial number what is the time frame to go from steps 2 to 7 I know there is no hard or fast rule but was hoping there was some type of average.

Thank you,

Bill

Couple of questions:

1. If my order changed from Clean/Unscheduled to Material hold, can I assume it has passed step 1 and is waiting for step 2?

2. Will an order on Material hold ever get a VIN, or does it have to come off Material Hold first?

 

[busababy]

Well this is good news for sure, 45 days give or take that will go quick (I hope) after reading steps to getting shelby it looks like if I understand they have decided on the week and day that it is going to be built. So steps 4 - 5- 6 are the big days to know what is going on. Or maybe I am just not reading this right. Thank you checking this out...you know how long I have waited on a serial number... I was starting to think it was all a pipe dream but with a VIN it looks like it is a little closer to step 10

Your the best and were all lucky we crossed paths with this site and you

 

[07 SHELBY]

Congrats, ShelbyWise. You're making progress.

I, on the other hand, am still stuck on #1.

The trick I am using is focusing attention on something else...for me it is the busa, ordered a set of Yosh Cams for it for another 12hp and 8ft-lbs of torque...like it needs it but look forward to the UPS truck to come, rip all the fairings off disconnect a million hoses... you know the drill...that should buy me at least 3 weeks of content... than back on the "I want my Shelby Bus" again... or maybe a new big screen would be nice

I've been focusing on home repairs (not by choice). The last week has been hell. First my shower starts leaking water all over the floor, then a faucet in my backyard broke and flooded my basement, then the compressor on my central AC seized up, and now one of the valves on my sprinker system started leaking. I must have pissed off some sort of home owner god. I'm just waiting for the 4 horesemen to ride up my driveway. Sheesh.
