    40th Anniv My 40th Crimson GT Conv in Action

    Well, after being laid off for a while as a Detroit automotive engineer, I am back into Mustang driving. My 40th hit 12,000 miles on Sunday. It might end the year at 12.5-12.7k. Last weekend was great cruising with a full car...wife, daughter and mother-in-law for about 80 miles out in the...

    Telegraph Cruise is tomorrow. Time to shred some Gatorbacks from my old 2004 O.E. tires! 7.5 years old, 12k miles, and hard as a rock. A few shots from the Michigan Avenue Cruise, Motor Muster and the ford WHQ Shelby Show... Mike's Car Pics! Michael Lavander's photosets on Flickr A...

    40th Anniv IS A CONVERTABLE WORTH PUTTING $ INTO FOR THE TRACK???

    Track...I assume you mean road course? If I were to do track, my pretty worn out 140k mile SVT Contour would probably beat my 12k mile 04' 40th GT Conv...the GT stock or even with some mods. Hell, you could probably BUY a high mileage SVT Contour for the cost of making a GT Conv. track worthy.

    There was no way that I could find to sort the regular Oxford White cars from the 40th package white cars when I attempted to pull the data. The black and white cars are much more rare than the Crimson (4,558 Crimson cars were built and fewer than 1200 black/white).

    40th Anniv Day time running light LED strip '04 GT

    Cool mod. Too bad the color temps are different between the fogs and LEDs. Throw some LEDs in the fogs!

    Official Tremec 3650 Issues Thread

    Wow, not sure how I missed this. My 2004 Crimson Red GT Conv. has ~11,500 miles on it. Even with high ambient temps (80F+), it is tough to get into first out of the garage and clunks/grinds into second until the powertrain warms up. The MTX-75 in my SVT Contour does this too (with ambient...

    Lincoln 32v 4.6L Engine

    Good info. BTW, when my dad was working in the SVE/SVT group, he said they were getting tons of attempted warranty claims for broken bottom end parts on pre-03 Cobras...apparently due to the weaker Al block and superchargers.

    Convertibles + Radio

    My 2004 40th GT Conv has an Alpine running the factory Mach 460 amps... But, one night I got into my dad's 2004 GT Conv. with the factory head unit, and for some reason, just happened to push the convertible top switch with no key in the ignition - the radio came on! It does it with the...

    40th Anniv 2004 gt convertables made?

    It is possible to get data on how many GT convertibles were made. Unfortunately, I am no longer in a position to access such data. You can break them down by exterior color and some options such as radio type, abs/trac yes/no, interior color, wheels and a few other things. If you know an...

    That spoiler was probably dealer installed; I do not think the dealer could order a Crimson car with a spoiler even at the request of a customer. Did they extend the stripes from the decklid over the spoiler?

    40th Anniv Production info needed for 40th Anniversary Crimson Red Roush Mustang

    I used to be a Roush engineer... Roush took normal production cars from the Rouge to modify. I assume the modifications were done on Plymouth Road in Livonia, Michigan at Roush Building 50. I'd recommend contacting Roush to see if they can provide more details about your specific build -...

    Detroit Area Mustang guys

    To bump this topic back up again... Did anyone from the D get to the Greenfield Village Old Car Festival (9/11-12)? I managed to get my dad to drive out from St. Joe to see it for the first time. He loved it. All cars from the late 1800s to 1932. Steamers, electrics, and just about every...
