After talking to Ford this morning and being told that the car is in transit and will be at the dealer sometime between 2-9 September, I get a call from my salesman at 4:30 this afternoon telling me that the car is here. I went out and looked at it and it is gorgeous. I was a little disappointed that the "dark charcoal" interior isn't darker (I thought it would be closer to black) but after owning two different Mustang Converts (a 95 and a 96) with black interiors, I think it will be a nice change. The more I looked at the exterior in its redfire clearcoat, the more it looked like the vintage burgundy 66 Mustang that I learned how to drive in. My 76 year-old Dad is gonna absolutely flip when he sees this car, as he bought himself the 66 in 68, when he got back from spending a year in Vietnam flying helicopters out of Danang.
I got a quick up the road and back test drive in the car. It's bigger, wider, softer and smoother than the 96 Cobra & I think I'm really going to enjoy it. I did notice what seemed to be a little bit of throttle lag when I mashed the gas in second gear. Not sure what to make of that...
Took some pictures with my camera phone but cant seem to send them to my e-mail account
