I didn't order my car with IUP, so I thought twice about posting on this thread, but I wanted to express something. This car, at least to me, is so much more than an IUP option. This general production Mustang is something that many of us have been looking for a lot of years. I am in my 30s and have loved the late 60s Mustang for a long as I can remember.
So for me paying $25,000+ to own a car that is close to my heart, as far as cars go, was a no brainer, with or without IUP. This car is 1/3 of the price of a fully restored '67, '68, '69 Mustang GT, but yet cares many of those cars style cues.
So for the gentleman that is really upset about this IUP issue, is this car really something that you want to drive and admire? Because if not having the IUP option would make you not want this car, then this car is not for you. For those of us that love it looks, love its performance, and love the name Mustang, this car is for us with or without IUP. My opinion take it or leave it.
I wish everyone a safe and healthy New Year.

I will be patient right along w/ you Galaxie. When all this "stuff" came out about the IUP I too was upset but I have learned it does you NO GOOD to carry on like a baby. It is after all a car. One that will lose value the very sec you drive it off the lot. Look for a used one w/ IUP on-line. There was a lime green one on ebay last week for $2K off. You WILL be able to find them. Just takes some "leg work" per say.
Just a word of warning futurestang - If you carry on like this you might get yourself booted!!! I too think a car is more important than anything else in the world (NOT!!!), especially seeing so many people die tragically. The world does not revolve around you and your non-iup difficulties.

I understand the gentlemans disappointment. But to go postal makes no sense. Heck if I couldn't of gotten the dash treatment of the IUP I would of bought the stuff out now where I could of painted. Saw one in redfire that looked great. Kind of concepty. Hey this car is a canvas where all of us that enjoy cars can express ourselves. I understand your frustration but I suggest you build a bridge and get over it!

Brad, I think you could buy some of the IUP products from the dealership from the parts dept, no? I mean how many cars are out there w/ the total IUP and dealerships need to have parts for them. Order the lite IUP and then get some of the remaining from the aftermarket or dealership. Just an idea???

The pics of the "Brochure" that brad put up on page (2) of this thread would seem to confirm the future of the 18G. As others have said , this looks like a supply issue. Patience and perseverance are in order. It's unlikely FOMOCO would have the brochures printed up without the knowledge of where they are going. I hope I don't have too much "Faith" here

If it's a supply issue, what do you want them to do about it? The parts aren't exactly lying around ya know. They weren't anticipating everyone getting IUP. Sorry if that's a problem, would you like to wait, try some other combo, or do something else?
If it's a lawsuit issue, what do you want them to do about it? Settle for an ungodly amount and raise the price by $2000 or some other amount, just so you can have it? That's silly.
Either way, you are way out of line, IMO. I am a fairly easy going guy. The biggest complaint I have with Ford about the Mustang is the 2 vs 4 gauge thing, the non-optional fog lamps on GT, and not enough colors, inside and out. That's it. And you don't see me ranting a blue streak about it. Especially since this board isn't Ford owned and operated. It's run by a great set of people. If I do rant, it's at Ford directly. Maybe you should try it?
Things happen. Get used to disappointment. Nobody's hurt, sick or dead. It's not like we're talking about a colossal screw up like Bhopal. I find that your ranting (and that IS what you are doing) is distracting and without merit. You have your right as a person of the Earth to rant, but take it somewhere else. I know that I can "just not read it," but the title indicates something somewhat different than the content inside the thread. I went in thinking you ordered one thing, and got another, and the dealer was at fault. Which is patently not the case, is it? Maybe I should go off ad nauseum about your bad headline?
Besides, you YELL TOO MUCH. MY EARS HURT FROM READING YOUR POSTS. I'M NOT BLIND, YO.
/eject.

I rest my case.
This threads going the way of the lock VERY quickly.

I think we just found an issue MORE widely beaten than the IRS threads

This "kid" is older than you, most likely better educated than you (I'm in the top primary care medical school in the nation), and is certainly in a less red state than you with more common sense.

Hey, i struck a nerve....always good to get a rise from a genius....LOL Not sure where age, education, or home state come into play here, but I guess it helps to cloud your weak points and argument. The only person looking stupid here is you. Just for your info I never said anything about you not needing the package. I simply think you should look at the big picture and realize that your crazed actions and comments aren't helping you or anyone else....You'd think you would make more sense as you are so old and wise.....funny that your location isn't listed currently, but you'll make cracks on people who have the sack to list their home state....what a gutless wonder.....

futurestang calm down and think about it for a bit, would you really want to not get the car you wanted just because you couldn't get one little option with it? Life deprives us of things we want/could've/should've/were supposed to get all the time, why deprive yourself of the entire car just because Ford couldn't/wouldn't give you one option?
Three years down the road when you're driving a different car and see a Mustang go past, will you kick yourself for not getting one because of the IUP issue?
I hope to get a stang in the not too distant future, and yes I want IUP, MyColor, the extra gauges, and red interior. If mycolor isn't offered, oh well, it was a neat gadget that's all; if I can't have the extra gauges, i don't really need them anyway; can't get the aluminum dash, aftermarket, - no more aftermarket, oh well; can't get red interior, then I might change my color choices, both inside and out, that's all. I'll deal.
