Also not a huge retro fan (hate the new beetle), but this one really pulls on me.
I've always loved the looks of the blue Shelby mustangs from back in the day (with the white stripes all over), and if they can offer that exterior color trim with black leather, I might be hooked.
Don't know about buying a Ford though, never bought one and never even been to a Ford dealership.

I'm 27 and don't really remember or care about too many older Mustangs. What I do know is those 2 lights in the grill look terrible and Ford would be crazy to bring those to production. I mean seriously crazy.

What!!?
They got rid of that wicked "MUSTANG" that's been carved into the rear bumper for so many years? Without that I fear I'll no longer be able to laugh aloud when I'm behind a "STANG"
As far as the retro look, I applaud anything that might make us forget the styling of the last six years.
I might think twice about driving in sunlight. That interior is gonna reflect like a mutha! Does it come standard with a welding mask?

When I think of cars coming out in march (or their abouts), I usually think of them as half model years. Like when the mustang was originally introduced, it was a 1964 1/2 model

I saw C6's on the road last fall, and a early test mule 05 stang last summer, IIRC.
Oh yeah, and the 05 stang definitely needs some 18's to look right. For some retarded reason Ford has always given the mustang puny wheels stock, except for the Cobra recently.

I dont think any have been delivered yet. I think Job 1 date is like Sep 29th, so another month or so before ppl have them in their possesion. Mid/high 13's shouldnt be too tough, as long as it launches nicely.

Yeah, 20k for the model no one wants. 25k for the fast one. Uhh, with the SRT, EVO, WRX, 350Z etc etc all here now, Mustang GTs are no longer the only cheap fast car.
Let alone the wonderful used car market.
