Just saw an 05 V6 vert here in Norwalk. It's a loaded V6 vert, seems like it has every option including the sport package. 1 thing i noticed though, was that it had 3x 16 inch V6 sport wheels, and 1x 17 inch bullit wheel. How the heck does this happen? It left the factory, and noone noticed? Made it to the dealer and noone noticed? Is sitting outside on display, and noone noticed? "Ford, Quality is job..."

Maybe someone at the dealer started changing the wheels, got side-tracked, and then forgot to finish what they started? Or worse yet needed a replacement wheel, didn't have one in stock, so they put on the bullitt till the replacement arrives?

A mustang that I was looking at before I got mine had the cloth interior, except the bottom rear seat had leather.

Ah. You must mean my car:
The best part is, this car spent 2+ months in a quality hold.

there is a guy on another forum with a 03 Mach 1, his left rear passenger window has a Mach 1 moulding, the right is off a GT!!

They have told him they will send out a replacement surround to swap out the GT one!

Seems these issues have been happening for a while!

That reminds of back in my Taurus SHO days. I had a friend that had a '94 SHO and on the drivers side he had '93 MY chrome window trim and '94 MY blacked out trim on the passenger side. He owned the car for over a year before he or anyone else noticed.

So I went over there last nigth. They had NO IDEA about the wheel. They claim noone noticed it. Also, they told me they are not taking orders for 06 GT's because they allready exhausted their quota with leftover 05 orders.

Well even the leather i could see being overlooked. But this car has a completely different size/pattern wheel/tire combo on the pass side front.
