Just saw my first 05 in person. was driving home on Rt 12 and stopped at the stop sign was an 05. I wouldnt have even noticed it if not for the very distintive look of the Gt's head/ fog lights. Like em or not you can be sure not too be mistaken for anything other then an 05 mustang at night. I drove around the corner to the dealer to see if maybe they had them on the lot, no such luck. but some one some where has one [COLOR=#840084][COLOR=#840084][COLOR=#840084][COLOR=#840084][COLOR=#840084]

we have central and collins ford right around the corner. then just up the road is putnam ford. I drove past cenral ford and nothing there. Tommorrow im gonna drive to collins ford they are most likely the ones that would have it. they used to be a saleen dealer with a hugh warehouse out back full of old fords as well as a chassis dyno. they sold the place a year or so ago so i dont know how big into it they still are. I have to say thought those lights look amazing at night. very distint

Mine is on order from Ford of Branford. I've got D-Plan. I'm sure you know Steven's Ford has horrible service, and Mantilia in West Haven stopped answering my calls and emails, I come to find out because of the D-Plan. Cher Wambolt of Ford of Branford (Zee Auto) took my D-Plan without a problem, and I've heard nothing but good things about their dealership. I'm sure you can get under MSRP from there if you ask.

Did you happen to notice what kind of plates it had on it ? Nice spotting. Perhaps they are closer than we think ?

here in northern NJ in hackensack our high volume dealer, all american ford, used be to a saleen certified dealer too and i know they will be the 1st to get the 05 but i wont buy from them because they r the biggest ripoff dealer in the tri-state area. and i cant wait to finally spot one on the road. it seems like jay leno (i dislike him cuz i dont have my 05 yet and he does) is the only one with one haha
