    Gt40

    Curious -- for comparison's sake, how many Panteras did Ford build/sell in the 1970s?

    2005 Mustang GT Stolen from Ford Dealership

    The cash demand probably set the dealer off. Ask for more in barter, if you don't want to get attorneys involved. At the very least, request the 100K warranty. And the extended service plan, to 50K. That's worth a couple of grand right there. It's only fair they take care of the...

    Gt40

    I ordered my GT 40 from Ford last year ... A 1/18th scale diecast, sitting on my bookshelf. White with blue stripes. Closest I'll ever get to owning one! :D

    My 2005 GT got stomped 2x

    Yeah Beastzilla, but just imagine what that Vette driver was thinking when he looked in his mirror: "Damn, that is one good-looking Mustang!" :D

    Really Dumb Question: Car Wash Tips?

    Confession: I am the world's worst car washer. As I proved yet again this weekend, leaving spots all over my 05 Pony. What I know: Wash in the shade. Hose down the entire car before soaping. Use automotive detergent, not kitchen stuff. Use a soft mitt for washing. Wash small sections...

    Engine Coolant?

    Few questions about engine coolant. Manual says it's supposed to be a 50/50 mix of Motorcraft Gold coolant and distilled water. Does the stuff come premixed, or do you have to do that yourself? (Distilled water -- Mom used to use that in her iron. Available at the supermarket, I guess?)...

    Interior Scratches for the Compulsive 05 Mustang Owner ...

    Here's one to watch out for: releasing your safety belt and letting it run back on its own. The tounge glances against the door insert, leaving little chips in the plastic. Instead, hold onto the belt as the pulley takes up slack. Maybe a dab of Armor All will cover those chips. Which...

    Look at What I found on Ebay

    Cooling Fans?

    I'm considering taking off the rocker stripes, too, fazm83! I agree, I think it's a cleaner look.

    Cooling Fans?

    Sounds good, NJstangpilot. I'd like to have that computer, and the gauges. The aluminum door sills would be nice, too; I checked with the parts department at my dealership today, and they say the aluminum sills should swap right out. Cost is like $30 apiece. I'll probably do that much, at...

    2006 Mustang Order Guide

    Does this mean that parts will be available to equip V-6 Mustangs with fog lights? Assuming the parts would fit an '05, I mean ...

    Cooling Fans?

    Yeah NJstangpilot, the Madison/Morristown area is one of my favorite parts of Jersey. Long Beach Island is nice, too, but it's gotten crowded. Jersey gets a bad rap, but it's really a pretty state. You'll like the Sonic Blue. I get lots of compliments. Other Sonic Blue '05 owners always...

    Cooling Fans?

    Thanks for the tech briefing, echo7! Glad to know I wasn't imagining that. Well, NJstangpilot, I first noticed the noise sitting at a stoplight, and it persisted until I parked at work, several blocks later. But it was raining and misty, so as you suggest, that might have made the noise...

    Cooling Fans?

    Does the V-6 have thermostatically controlled cooling fans? When I got to work this morning, the engine sounded louder at idle than I recall it sounding before. It wasn't idling faster -- checked the tach -- but somehow, it just sounded louder. Were those the cooling fans going, maybe...

    How does V.8 compare to V.6?

    Mean-looking (and sounding) machine! :nice: Still miss my 1966 2+2. That's my favorite year for Mustangs (besides 2005)! :D Regarding automatics, well yeah, if you're going racing you need a manual. But for day-to-day driving, this five-speed automatic is great. Beats the heck out...

    License Plate Mounting?

    Ouch -- THREE holes? No excuse for that sort of sloppiness. The dealer ought to fix that for you. What worries me about these holes in the plastic is that they might strip out, seeing as how the plates mount with sheet-metal screws. I was thinking of inserting a threaded plastic sleeve...
