My first post, but I've been reading for a while and found the site very helpful in understanding the process of getting this car after ordering it. Well, my car's status is now "Released from the factory", which is a new one on me, but it should get here by 2/9 give or take a week. I leave for Mardi Gras next Friday, so my luck is it will come in while I'm gone... :bang: But, if it does come in on the 9th, that will be the day I return and would something good to look forward to on the return trip.

I ordered on 11/20, but the order didn't go in until 11/29 due to the Thanksgiving holiday. I'm obviously anxious to get it and will certainly post some pics of it when I get it.

This will be my first real Mustang, although I did have a Mustang II in the late 70's. My dad had a 1965 or 1966 Mustang when I was a young kid.

When this new body style was released, I was instantly in love with the car. I was getting my hair cut in October of last year when I saw a write up in a car mag and started looking for them at the dealerships. The first dealer that had one that I could see in the Atlanta area was charging a Market Adjustment of $8995. Needless to say, I didn't order from them even though they were closest to my house.

The car is a manual GT, satin silver, IUP, ICAP, Shaker 1000, active alarm, side airbags and the 17" machined wheels. Price: $27,197 with no special purchase plans.

edit: As of 1/27, shipped via convoy carrier!
Also saw this photochop listed on another site and thought it would be a nice option, especially for a V6...
Idea for front grill

 

Entered this late yesterday, so not sure if anyone really saw it... on the other hand, maybe it's just not that exciting news. I know many of you have had longer waits and I do feel fortunate to have light at the end of the tunnel.

 

Congrats! Hope delivery goes smoothly for you and welcome. When you take delivery, remember, we never tire of seeing new Mustangs! :worship:

 

Wow that idea for front grill on a V6 is outstanding!!! I'd go for that for sure. Maybe some aftermarket company will make it available.

 

Add the fog lamps and that grill would look great on the GT.

 

Oh, now that is sweeet! :worship:

 

Thanks for the welcome wild...

Yeah, the more I look at that chop, the more I like it.

 

Welocme and congrats

 

TAKE.....IT.......OFF!!!! TAKE......IT......OFF!!!!





This girl is ready to show her stuff at Mardi Gras

 

EWW

 

Yes, the bra has to come off for Mardi Gras... even for her!

 

Congrats! Welcome to the site.

 

Thanks for the sentiments smitty and ponyboy66...

I won't be going to New Orleans Mardi Gras, but Mamou Mardi Gras instead... small compared to the Big Easy, but no less fun (but, unfortunately less flesh ;-)
