I've noticed a few fellow wingless S197 owners here. Want to hear everyones thoughts on why they got one and how. Thought I'd share mine too.
Basically.. the wife and I needed a second (actually, third) Mustang. I planned for eight months to order one with my bonus, but we decided to hold off to the 08. We were actually going to pay MSRP to get one our way. Pretty much a stripper with the shaker 500 and the interior upgrade. We want cloth, 5-speed, no wing, silver with the basic rims. I figured I'd have the stock rims replaced in a month (looks like it will take a month and a half now
Course, the 0% on the 06 sold us. But we had to have a 5 speed at minimum. Well, almost every five speed was sold out by the time we called. We got in touch w/ Five Star Ford in AZ, and they searched around. They had a few to choose from. All but two met our specs. But, for some reason, the dealership blew us off and never followed up with us.
Anyway, the next week I tried one last place. All the other dealers had sold out the 5 speeds. This one had a bunch of saleens in stock when we checked the computer at Five Star. But, it was close to my office, so I double checked. Turns out that one of the last 5 speeds they had was listed as a Saleen, but they never delivered it to Saleen. Well, we hopped on it. Best part... it was the exact car we planned on ordering, color, options and wing delete.
Just thought I'd share. I'd like to hear a few a few stories and check out some pics of these rare rides. Pretty much every GT came with a wing (most six bangers too), so we've got some special rides with them in our stable.
