Flat Rock build schedule

[Instant Action]

Anyone know what the shift schedule is like at Flat Rock? Do they work 24/7, 3 shifts? Just trying to figure out how many cars a day they can pump out.

One shift / 5 days a week. A Saturday occasionally

it appears they can produce more than they can sale. Looking at this link, remember that COVID and supply chain problems were a big factor in what ford actually produced.

Those numbers certainly have rolled off a cliff over the last couple years. I guess we are lucky they are still even making them.

I just watched a "Top Gear" video that says they are becoming quite popular in Europe.

If they shipped more, they would sell more

I agree. About a year ago I tried to place an order for a Mach 1 however I constantly ran into closed order books. I managed to catch the order book open for the Dark Horse and placed my order 3/27 taking delivery 2.5 week ago. One shouldn't have to wait so long to buy a car.
I though just in time manufacturing was a bad idea when I first heard it. Add production in locations other than Mexico and Canada, nobody can predict when it will fail, only that it will fail.

Mustangs have always had a certain cache in Europe starting with the white 64 convertible in the James Bond flick, Goldfinger

18-23, the car was identical, with zero changes, except LESS horsepower for the end of the 6G run. That explains some of it.

If had held onto my 18 GT, I would have had no reason to trade for another S550. Sans a Mach 1 or Shelby.
