Congrats Chris !!! Our experience last year with the Mach 1 was very different. In early February, 2021, Diane decided she wanted a new Mach 1 in Race Red, sort of a "book end" for the '69 and we started looking. At that point we actually saw a Race Red Mach 1 on the road and Diane decided she didn't like that shade of red. Back to the drawing board and looking at the color palette for colors other than Race Red. Velocity Blue looked like it might be acceptable so we checked local dealer inventory for Velocity Blue Mustangs of all flavors. The Ford Store about 25 minutes away had a base model Velocity Blue Mustang in stock so we went down to look at the color. Velocity Blue would work. In speaking with the salesman and the sales manager we learned that a Velocity Blue Mach 1 was already built as a dealer order and on a train heading west. Ford's tracking program indicated the train with this Mach 1 was then in New Mexico and was scheduled to make it to the dealership in 3 weeks. We left an earnest money deposit to demonstrate she was a "real" buyer. We monitored the train's progress over the next 3 weeks and confirmed with the sales manager the car was on the truck for delivery that day as scheduled. We drove down to see the car coming out of the wash booth dripping wet. A test drive later and the decision was made. 5 weeks from beginning to end and we never did place an order. As it turns out, the car she bought was the exact twin of the car she would have ordered.
