Ok I have been calling around lately looking for a Mineral Gray GT Stick.
Every time I found one on the internet I'd call the dealer and they say thats a Saleen.
Finally I asked how this works out.
Turns out the dealership gets their 2005 Mustang GTs for retail sale, then they send it off to Saleen to get turned into a most awesome S281.
The problem is that ups the price to about 42 Gs, making the GT out of reach for most of us regular Joes.
I could have had my car three times now if it weren't for this.

Jim - hang in there - you'll get what you want if you are patient......keep close tabs on the dealers in your area - you just never know when a GT on order may come up for sale....that's how I found mine - just passing my local Ford dealer and they had "my GT" on point......the order had been canceled and I just happened to be passing by............the rest is history!!

That's what I thought but I have heard this from several different dealers in several different states.
One in New York had a Saleen listed at it's old GT MSRP.
And a Dealer in TN said the same thing about a Mineral Grey GT that showed up in their inventory but had been sent off.

Too bad you're not in NY... Riverhead Ford has a 5-spd MG GT in the lot
