I frequent Matt Kenseth's messageboard because I'm a died-in-the-wool Blue Oval guy .. and well I posted about the new 05 Mustang pace car.

Here's what he posted:

I work at Auto Alliance in Flat Rock, MI where we're building the 05 Mustang and I see these every day and I never get sick of looking at them. We just started running a few convertibles and they look awesome.

1. Does this mean the cars are in production already?

2. Convertibles? Why hasn't Ford released pics then?

Pre-production runs.. probably for testing still... going to suppliers.. stuff like that. Really doubtful that these are anyone's.

Vert's as far as I know are in the mid-stages of testing. Saw the vert test mule last April, but haven't seen it since.

1) Probably not...they are still doing the pilot run. May not be for sale, just for media etc.

2) Not unveiled yet, probably again...just for running the line, to see if it works the way it should.

Exactly what they are for.

Apparently there are 100 cars being built for the pilot run, 50 were already done and 50 more after the shutdown there.

These will be circulated among the media for testdrives, etc.
