I am not affiliated with Ford Motor Company, all the data I gather comes from individuals with an
interest in the new Thunderbird.

The files will be updated on a regular basis depending on the amount of data received since the last
update.

The plots that I post on the Yahoo group site, thenewtbirddata have estimates on build/ETA/delivery
dates along with a model breakdown. Due to the limited data that I have, I feel that the estimations may
be optimistic, however it will give you a rough idea of build/ETA/delivery dates. As more data is
gathered the better the fits will be. For this reason I would appreciate as many build dates/ETA's/delivery
dates that I can get. Keep in mind that these are estimates and should not be taken as absolute.

The plots are located in both the files section (.jpg extension) and the photo section. The data is located
in the files section in the 2002 TBird Data Files folder.

You can post your info here or email it to me at the below address. If you email me the data your email
name will be used as the owner. When submiting data please include as much as possible of the
following:

Your full 17 digit VIN, build week, ETA, delivery date, destination (where it is being delivered to, not
necessarily where you live) exterior color, top color, model (premium or deluxe), interior color (full,
partial, accent or standard), your name if you want it included and any remarks.
We have also found that the build rotation/sequence number is on one of the VIN stickers located on the
fenders (front, rear, left and right), hood, trunk, and the doors (there may be more locations that I am
currently not aware of). The rotation/sequence number is the actual order of production. It will be a four
digit number above the VIN on one of the stickers. If you have a high VIN and low rotation number, add
9960 to the rotation number to find the actual production number of the car. Example: my VIN is 2532
but the rotation number is 2167, indicating that my car was the 2167th 2002 Thunderbird built or VIN
10619 has rotation # 0160 so it was the 10120th car built (160+9960=10120).

Also if you could include your position in the dealer allocation (# of #) it would be useful in giving
people who have not received a VIN an idea of when they might.
The usual sequence for vehicle order status is as follows:
(1) clean/unscheduled (2) submitted to plant (3) scheduled (4) locked in (no changes to order allowed)
(5) bucked (implies that production of the vehicle has commenced) (6) produced (7) released from plant
(8) assignment of a railcar or released to convoy (9) arrived at ramp (rail yard or distribution center near
delivery site) (10) if not assigned in step 8, released to convoy.

Thanx,
