Just thought I'd post these pics separately. I didn't notice them the first time I went on to the e-bay page for this car? Maybe they added them after?

Lets start with the best shot:













But why anyone would go on e-bay to compete to pay over MSRP is beyond me:

Man, that first shot must be one of the nicest angles I've ever seen. Definately one of my favorite pics thus far. The fact that this might just be my exact car is pretty cool as well.

I think that just means they didn't enter the information for the engine, not that they entered "Don't know".

It'll be interesting to see just how successful that bidding arrangement turns out to be for the dealership. If they can rook a bunch of people, then more power to them, I guess.

On another thought - that Redfire is just sex on wheels! Still my favorite color on that car by a lengthy margin. It just brings it alive, like the Mach 1 in Diamonds Are Forever...and red cars generally do nothing for me.

I agree, that car is gorgeous. What I love about redfire is that its metallic. Torch is awesome, but it is a flat colour. I will make my absolute final decision when I see both in person, but these pics definately bias redfire. I can't wait till they hit the lots in my area.

BTW, I want the wax these guys are using. B)

I really like the 18" chromies from the show car......I look at the aftermarket but will buy these if I don't see anything that really takes me back:

Anyone notice how that little bit of dust on the wheels of the Redfire (with Billy F. up above) makes the car look even bolder? If it is "just me," it's a good illusion on Ford's part.

Too bad you didn't get most of that saleen in the picture. It would be a good comparison between current and new!

The redfire is also a beautiful color. Honestly, this may be the first car that I love in ANY color (except yellow). The only things that should be yellow are taxis and buses.

I agree, Dan, I'm starting to think that those 18" chromes are the way I want to go too. It's amazing how much classier (and better) the '05 looks in Redire AND with those chrome 18" wheels. Usually, chrome is just too 'bling bling,' but that combo looks almost as awe-inspiring as anything Bangle has coming out of Germany, IMHO.

Guess the adverting people figure these things out right away.

And there's just nothing better than Keifer's new "Always Thinking" ad spot!

With all the Hollywood Mustang movie tie-ins, the Ford product placement on TV shows, the Steve McQueen Field of Dreams/Bullitt commercial, and celebrities like Keifter doing the "Always Thinking" commercial, I'm starting to think that maybe I should contact Ford of Canada, and do a feature article on the Mustang's movie appearances and Ford's Hollywood-inspired advertising pieces for HNR (www.hollywoodnorthreport.com). I'm sure Ford wouldn't mind the free publicity either.

I usually prefer machined rims myself (which also probably look great), but the chomes do go well with the redfire.

As for the Hollywood North thing, that would be pretty cool.

That first shot looks awesome. The showroom lights are definitely doing their job.
