If we can't have a Boss or Mach 1 with a n/a 5.8, then a Bullitt would be the next best way to send the S197 out in style.
Any chance Brian's digging could relate to a Bullitt??
Base GT 300A & 301A: New option called "GT Appearance Package," option code 542.
Here's hoping

I'd say, if there were in fact a NA 5.8 running around, it would have been rumored. Seems its the same way as the TT 5.0 rumors a while ago. Time to let them go unless we hear some credible info otherwise.

If so I wonder how Ford will choose to handle the 2014 model year (50 years since 1964).
Will Ford:
a. follow precedent set in 1984, 1999, 2004, and 2009 with a simple side badge and maybe appearance package?
b. simply pretend they don't know what we're talking about and introduce the new 2015 model as the, 50th anniversary Mustang?
or c. (my personal wish) have an abbreviated 2014 mustang year and bring out the new model as an early 2015/2014 1/2 a la 50 years ago and beat out the next gen Camaro and SRT 'cuda as the first 21st century pony car out of the gate.
A 50th anniversary special S197 would also be interesting, especially if its more than an appearance package like the Camaro's 45th anni package.

My logic, they will do the 2014 current design, and not use it as an anniversary model. The all-new 2015 is slated to be on sale April 17, 2014, exactly 50 years to the day, and it wouldn't surprise me, if they call these cars "2014 1/2 models" just like they did back in 1964. We all know there is no 64 1/2 Mustang, if you go by VIN. The VINs all coorelate to 1965 year cars. I think Ford is going to do the same with this one!!
they started badging the late 89's that were produced after 4/17/89 but since 2014 production will stop before 4/17/14 there won't be any '14 anniversary models

However, the 1999 MY was the 35th anniversary which would make 2014 the 50th...which lends even more credibility to a 2014 1/2!!

Hi - New member here. I am doing some research on the 14 v. the 13 due to some difficulties I have been having with the car I ordered. (One very unhappy customer of Ford's right now)
Just wondering if anyone knows what interior leather colours will be available on the new mustangs.

Actually, I know a Ford insider (can't mention names, of course) who actually saw a TT 5.0L recently back in Dearborn. He wasn't supposed to see it and was ushered away when he asked about it.

OK Thanks. That may or may not make the decision easier lol. At this stage I am considering cancelling the order and waiting to order a '14 since I wont really get to use it now until next spring anyways.
From what I read here the body for the '14 is definately going to be the same (give or take small tweeks), correct? I have heard rumors about the "new" body style and I dont think that it will be something I will be happy with.

If we(2013 buyers) miss out on something cool, (ie appearance package...maybe), it would be a simple addon, or replacement.
Won't be kicking ourselfs for not waiting. (like 2010 to 2011, missing out on the 5.0)

Seen this on the way home yesterday. I'm pretty sure it was a 2014 mule. Sorry for crap pictures and that I didn't get one of the front end. Too me looked pretty much the same as the 2013.
