Dealers are telling customers 18 month wait on a Mustang, they should fire up the right hand drive assembly lines..

Broadmeadows , with a small team of workers tightening the loose screws and straightening out the crooked panel gaps of the U.S. Made Mustangs.

Maybe just a small team that take pride in their work, and actually do 8 hours of work in an 8 hour day.

That wait list is going to kill them
I have spent $110,000 on cars in the last two years and not one cent went to Ford because of this bull****.
12 months wait for a car while shutting down production lines in a modern economy is borderline negligence.

I cart freight of the docks fairly regularly and there always seems to be a fresh batch of 30+ mustangs sitting there from the latest boat here in perth
