Newbie from OZ

G'day Everybody John Pony From OZ.[southern highlands just outside of sydney]

Just ordered a new 2007 GT Coupe Tungsten Grey should be down under early may I hope. I will post pics as soon as i get it.

Oh and next time one of your friends starts to whine about the pony prices , just tell them it's over a $120,000 for a new mustang on the road down under. Closer to $200,000 for the shelby.

As you might imagine not to many down under at the moment.

John Pony

Some pics from OZ

Here she is at the dealers, just before she went to the converters should take 3 weeks to convert to right hand drive, also getting black racing stripes and a C&L CAI.

Well Cody it costs about 30k to convert to right hand drive and yes has to be done to get registration but that is included in the 120k price. The mirror conversion,rego and import tax is the reason it cost so much. But as far as i know this is the only fully optioned grey 2007 GT in OZ at the moment. Gotta love that.

Cheers John Pony

Prolly the same people who paid the dealer markup on the GT500s.

Congrats on the car though. I think it's awesome you went through all that to get a Stang. Major props.

Congrats and welcome!

That's gotta be the strangest thing I've ever seen. You still have to go to the left side for the hood release. Is everbody left handed over there?
