    Info on 2006 SVT and SE Mustangs...

    That's pretty much what most are assuming; myself included. But nothing is known for a fact regarding the SVT. It's a wait and see situation again... all over again... but –*hey! –*we made it through the wait-n-see period for the 05 GT, we can do it again!

    want to beat up the new car mgr

    You can't trust a word dealers say. He's flat out lying about ordering them back in July, as well as getting 10 to start. I'm not surprised that you shot holes in his story. What I am surprised is that you fell for that "first allocation" bs. The bottom line is, they will tell you anything to...

    Aftermarket Stereo

    The harness adapter for the F150 will work. Several companies make them. As far as the stereo goes, it's all standard sizes. Single Din, 1.5 Din, double Din, etc. The stereo in the stang is a 1.5 din. Most head units you would buy are single din. You would therefore need a mounting kit or make...

    Converted

    I heard rumor that Ford may, I repeat MAY, offer a Mustang Loyalty reward in 2006 or 2007 on Mustang trade-ins. It's a plan that, if they introduce, will make public very shortly. It is designed to do this: Ford realizes many people are holding out for the 05 instead of the 04. The further...

    Is this Satin Silver

    It is the Titanium Silver, as someone else mentioned, and yes, those are the optional 18" wheels. The 18's won;t be out until the Verts are around. This is due to a delay from the Rim manufacturer.

    What did i see? Black mustang convertable.

    Ford is making a push into the aftermarket parts industry. In fact, they are to be doing a lot of performance and cosmetic parts for the Focus. Primarily the focus because they realize that, although you could have bought a SVT Focus, people in that age group couldn't afford it. They buy new or...

    2005 Mustang Conv't Pics!

    Just because it sticks out, doesn't mean the cage assembly is different. It could be that it's mounted to car differently, different lines to the car could show/hide more or less, there may be less room under the folded top due to the gas tank being there and so it sits higher... there could be...

    Info on 2006 SVT and SE Mustangs...

    And, where, may I ask, did you hear this information from? Was it from Ford, a Ford employee, a magazine, or just idle forum talk?

    Ford Revamped their site today!

    I was on it yesterday... it wasn't different. But, I have been working insane hours... maybe I'm having a senior moment? In any event, I've always been a reliable poster so, Sorry to all if I created any mass hysteria!

    2005 Mustang Conv't Pics!

    The only part of the convertible cage that is new, to the best of my knowledge, is the latch bar that attaches to the windshield, and the rail arms that connect that bar to the cage. The rest of the cage, the top shape and connections are the same. It's easy to get the sides of the vert top to...

    2005 Mustang Conv't Pics!

    Since I had had mentioned that they are using the same top assembly from the SN95, it doesn't surprise me about the leak issue.

    2005 Mustang Conv't Pics!

    For the record, and I had hoped this was not true, the top is from the SN95 Mustang. I was hoping this wasn't the case because I have several SN95 verts and they all had the same problem: need to take the interior lining out every now and then to tighen up all the bolts. Hopefully, with the S197...

    If they started buildin' in Sept...

    True.. I didn't notice that. My 99 GT Convert is 4490lbs. How much is the 2005 GT Vert gunna weigh? I never thought of this, but I wonder what kind of impact that weight is going to have.

    If they started buildin' in Sept...

    Yeah, I realize all that. What I didn't realize is that those cars have VIN's assigned. Usually, on preproduction cars, the VIN's are XXXXXXXX's Just surprised I guess.

    If they started buildin' in Sept...

    If they started building the cars in September... why does the date on the Manufacturer's Door Jam Sticker say June? Take a look at the link below. Shouldn't it say September 04? http://bradbarnett.net/mustangs/timeline/05/05/TurnerSouth-43.jpg

    They are already auctioning 2005 Mustangs on eBay

    Couldn't agree more. Albeit, maybe I shoudl exploit this. Put my 2005 up on ebay as soon as I get it... Maybe I can make some money on the deal? On second though... no way! I love the car too much to turn her into a whore. :D
