    My Engine is Out of My Car...All of the threads

    I was waiting for the vert. I think I will wait quite a bit longer. So far: 6 cyl rear end whine (this problem is 6 years old), the Shaker stereo has problems and the new GT engine looks suspicious. My 01 GT vert looks better and better every day.

    FORD SUED FOR MY COLOR

    The guy who thought up the concept of the intermittent w/s wipers fought Ford, GM and Chrysler for many years. They could have settled cheap in the beginning, but, it cost them a fortune because they thought they could overrun the little guy. They paid dearly for that move. Of course they passed...

    Watch Out!!!!!!!!!!!!

    E-bay has some dealers at or below MSRP for the Buy It Now price. Sooner or later the prices will come down to a normal range. Same thing happened when the 94 models came out. Just hang in there. I am waiting for the vert. Probably have to wait until December to really get a deal on those.

    2005 Mustang Wrecked

    This is why insurance rates are so high on the Mustang. Some drivers are not too smooth with real power regardless if it is the track or street.

    71/72 Mach 1 bumper question

    I was the original owner of a 71 Mach 1. I have been looking at Mach 1s' to possibly buy similar to the one I owned. My question is: I have seen several 71/72 Mach 1s' on e-bay that have the chrome front bumper and the chrome hood leading edge. From what I can remember of the Machs', all...

    Dual Exhaust V-6 option?

    Would anyone think a dual exhaust option on the V-6 is a viable idea? I want an 05 vert, so, waiting until next spring sounds like enough time to try to convince Ford. Any opinions out there?

    Air Conditioning Question

    I have been looking at 1967-1973 Mustangs. One thing that has me puzzled is the number of cars that are advertised "fully restored", but, reading the ad, you find out the a/c is "not hooked up" or "just needs charge". Is there a problem with the Ford a/c units that people can't get them fixed...

    2005 looks nice,but,

    The 2005 is awesome... and should sell like hotcakes. And, I agree, it is probably a much improved car over the earlier cars. I only wanted to know who has a Mustang now and what their opinion is for buying a 2005. BTW, I was the original owner of a 1971 MACH 1, a 1974 Mustang II and...

    2005 looks nice,but,

    Went to the NYC auto show yesterday. The Ford exhibit is awesome. Especially the big screen video of the 05 stang, GT and Cobra concept racing through the streets. The 05 Stang is impressive, but, I don't think I was impressed enough to go out and sell my 01 GT vert to buy one. I'll be more...

    What size rims do you want on your '05?

    17" Until the 18/19 size becomes more popular, I chose the 17". The 18/19 tires are way too expensive. At least until they become the mass produced version.

    need advice on buying 2000 vert GT

    CarFax is no guarantee Take the car to a Ford dealer and let them check it out. I tried to buy a 2003 GT vert from a 5 star dealer in Mass. last June. Went there with check in hand. The primo, Carfax clean, 1,200 mile trade-in had been hit in the left front. Driver's door lower hinge...

    Info/help needed for placing my '05 GT order in April/May...

    Ordering won't guarantee delivery. I tried to order a 79 Corvette. It was the last year of the L-82, 4-spd. My car never came. I am sure it did, but, the dealer said it never came. I believe what really happened is that they got a better price and sold it out from under me. If you want to...

    With or without foglights?

    I prefer the clean non foglight look I am waiting to see the vert as that would be the car I would buy if the quality is there. I must admit I like the nose on the 6 and rear end w/o the spoiler of the GT. I suspect that I am going to wind up with the 6 cyl. I live less than 50 miles from NYC...

    04 vert vs 05 vert

    I think my 01 vert will be a keeper. I am afraid Ron has a valid point. I owned a 71 Mach 1 (original owner) and the reason I didn't get the Grande vert that year was it just didn't look right. It looks like the same rationale. The car is too bulky w/o the top to look "right". I will wait to...

    who is ACTUALLY buying an '05 stang ASAP?

    I have to wait. I want a convertible and I hear rumors they won't be out right away. Also, I really don't want to buy the first year model. Anyway, my 01 GT vert only has 11,800 miles. My wife is looking over my shoulder and threatening a divorce if I buy another Mustang. Let's see...Mustang...
