We've had our GT convertible for a couple of weeks. I see a few other '05 Mustang convertibles around town (east Orlando) but haven't paid attention to the ratio of GTs to V6s.

There's a V6 convertible in our office parking lot right now - same color and top as our GT. It's a rental, so I expect I'll see a lot more Mustang convertibles around town in the future.

Very nice ride Roger I was looking at the pictures in your gallery, I liked the intake cover in one of the photographs. Do you know that person or where they got the cover from?

We have a condo down there, will have to check out that Winter Park show sometime. Our condo is just west of Mall at Millenia.

just thought I'd start a thread, I see a lot of V6's on the road I see Gts here and there, I see V6 convertibles once in awhile, but where are the GT Verts at? I got mine on order which should be arriving the first week of July so who else has a convertible, even if it's a V6 tell me about your ride and how nice its been with this nice weather.
I haven't named it yet but it's a great ride!

Have had my Torch Red GT Convertible a week (700+ miles) now after delivery in Bremerhaven. Car has been a hit here and draws quite a stir with the Germans and Americans alike here in Stuttgart. There is another Torch Red GT convertible an hour away north and another was being delivered from Bremerhaven to K-town to another OMCS customer last Tuesday when I picked mine up. Great ride and lots of fun so far!

I'm still new in the club and it'll be about three years before I start remembering names. But, if I can remember, I'll ask about that cover when I see him again. I think the picture you're talking about is the one at http://mustang.jadebox.com/gallery/casselb.../2005_06_11_031 just in case anyone else here can identify the part.

BTW, my wife was impressed by his engine dress-up and asked if we can do it to ours.

Picked up my car just over a week ago, and have about 450 miles on it as of today. It has been nothing but awesome

One of the best parts is letting other family and friends drive it and seeing how much they like it. I try to convince them all to buy one too I look forward to driving it everytime I go out. It is a daily driver for me, but it will be garaged in the winter.

Top down driving is second to none......

Mineral Gray is an awesome color (aren't they all though?). I tried hard to capture the color in a few of these pictures and think I got pretty close.

I've only seen one other GT Vert in my area, and it is Legend Lime......

Mine came in on St. Patty's day. I guess it was a lucky day for me and I'm not even Irish.

Picked mine up June 4th. First convertible and first Mustang. Love it so far. It's great and your right, there don't seem to be many GT's, let alone GT Verts on the road in the Raleigh/RTP area.

George, I don't think I've ever seen a gt vert driving around Chapel Hill. Mine will be here late July/early August and that will make at least 2. I'll take the south side of town if you take the north.
Looks like I'll have Hillsboroguh covered then. Mine hopefully arriving July 1-5 or therabaouts Sonic blue GT convertible Maybe we need a Tarheel Mustang club!

Looks like we have 5 local people (Central NC) with verts just in this one thread.

Gofisch -- High Point (Sort of local)
1st Stang -- Cary
Sonic Blue -- Hillsborough
NCPolice555 -- Chapel Hill
GoHeels -- Chapel Hill

Who else is in the area? Htwag is close by because he is the one that recommend Capital to me.

Pretty cool. Soulds like I am last in the queue to get my car so I can't accuse you guys of stealing my idea.

Mine's comin' week of 7/18. Not soon enough. They are pretty scarce here in Steeler country. I've only noticed a black GT vert myself. I'm sure they are around but still pretty thin.

Counting the days.
