On the demo '05 GT making the show cirucit, the red leather inteior was not bright red, but maroon. It looks like a maroon as seen in the '66 GT's. In my humble view, the maroon color is not nearly as attractive as the bright red leather seen in the photos. I'm changing my order to Dark Charcoal, KW.

Did anybody else have this observation?

 

mmm...

 

 

:sigh:


We've heard, in addition the other mountain of misinformation floating about.. that the color making the show circuit is not the true production color. It's supposed to bright red like in the pics, not that means anything. We've also seen blue interiors and stripes and we know what happened to those.
Not that the red interior not being arrestingly loud is any reason not to get it, if you want a red interior, but that falls right back into what i was saying.

 

We also realize Ford can't roll out all of its tricks the first year, either ... But thats another thread (or seven).

 

The frustrating thing is that I want to order the red interior but will be dissappointed if maroon is delivered. I'll also be dissapointed if I order some other color and the production red leather looks bright red, and I passed it up.

 

Well, if you're intent on ordering, maybe you can wait a few weeks or so and wait for the complete ordering card. It should have a sample color on it, I would think.

 

It was, by the way, said (by a Ford rep at Nashville, iirc), that the actual red leather will be brighter than the one used on the mules and show cars.

 

I was in the car. I'd call it red. Not maroon, not pink, not crimson. Just red. I didn't get out my Home Depot paint swatches to do a match on it. It was nice and it was red. I don't know what the big deal is. Wait until October and see which actual production colors you like.

If we actually get to that point and there are absolutely no colors that blow yer skirt up, then there's a problem. I guess then you get one with a black or charcol interior and drive it right from the dealer to the paint shop and do whatever you want with it.

 

Thanks, trakslacker. I needed a good laugh.

 

Looks like Lemmywinks.

Go Lemmywinks Go!

 

They normally don't sign off on final color, graining, and overall appearance approval until they get close to J1. The red fire car in the Pony Drive is a CP prototype which is not the final color. Wait till you see the production car before you start changing your orders.

 

Good point. This is what I have been thinking too. I'm not even going to look at an order form until I see a few of these cars in person and maybe even get to test drive one. I don't even want to go by the swtaches or the little pictures the dealer will have in there litte mustang booklets. I need to see the interior and exterior colors up close and personal to compare what really looks nice. Besides I want to check out the verts before I decide on a coupe too.

So far I am leaning towards yellow with charcoal leather, or torch red with red leather. But I need to see what some of these others look like. I just don't want to be disapointed or see a black one going down the road a month later and wish I would have got that. B)

 

Im buying mine off the lot too... mainly just concerned with what models they will be selling on the lot. V6 Deluxe or Premium, if they will have some Deluxe models with Premium features... or if you can only upgrade the features if you pre-order it yourself...... also color wise.....

(As you can tell, this will be the first vehicle I've bought )

 

I hope you and this Ford rep are right. I guess I can order the red leather interior and if it is not bright red, reorder dark charcoal.

 

Go to dealership
Look a stangs on lot
Buy one
Save yourself some ulcer meds

 

Best advice yet. Just wait until there's one on the lot. Go buy it.

 

Sorry, no. I want receieve my vert special order ASAP. Because the verts are coming out late, I will be able to see the interior color of the fastbacks well before the verts come out. Should the fastbacks with red interiors end up maroon, I can adjust my order.

Ulcer meds are going to be required in any case!

 

I am willing to bet you won't even be able to order the verts until you have had plenty of time to see the interior on the coupe. So, no need to worry about it.

 

Exactly. I feel better already!
