I concur that they're trying to string you along with the probability of making more money off someone else. I'd take my business elsewhere if they can't square it away right now. If not just for your frustration, but for the principle. I don't know how it is around where you live but Ford dealerships are pretty common. Many others are glad to see the business.
Just think, you'll be blowing Slomaro's off the road in no time. The 5.0 is a beast.

Not doubting your story. A trip to see the dealership owner is in order for an explanation as he is probably not aware of that crap happening. He will appreciate you stopping buy. I sold Fords for a dealer in VA for three years. If we committed to a buyer for a particular vehicle that we did not physically have on the lot, we had a signed purchase order with an agreed upon price and a deposit in the house for that vehicle. We made damn sure that was what they wanted. Sales Managers confirmed everything with the buyer before they departed so there was no misunderstanding. The customer always got the vehicle. Now, if for some reason a buyer decides to back out they have the option of something on the lot or loose a portion of their deposit based upon where we went for the vehicle. The customer knew that upfront. Go see the owner of the dealership. It will be worth your while and if he or she has any intergity, they will make it right.

They are lying to you. A car allocated to a dealer is allocated to a dealer, not sent to Rousch. My guess is they had an opportunity to lay somebody away and make a ton more money by selling your mustang to somebody else.
Or, the owner or GM sold yours to a buddy and decided to let you have the next one, rather than have his buddy wait for the one coming in 6-8 weeks.
If you had an original delivery date, you could drive the dealer's lot every day for a week before and after the due date and chances are you'll see that car getting dropped off. Of course, that won't help you get the car you want.
I'd look around and do business elsewhere. Plenty of Ford dealers in Colorado...
Probably the most accurate answer.
