Stripes of any color and any reflection can be had by any decent aftermarket detail shop. Not that big a deal. And don't say price is an issue, because anyone buying a Shelby has no business complaining about $$$.

It's disappointing to see the direction Ford is going with the new Mustang, and I'll admit I don't care for the idea of a euro-styled Mustang, but I'm going to wait and see what it looks like before condemning it. This is a pretty big shift for Ford and for the Mustang, especially coming at this point in time with the new mpg requirements and the desire to make the Mustang more appealing to people outside the U.S. They have quite the task on their hands.

 

2014 Mustang to get new colors, options

http://mustangsdaily.com/blog/2012/0...olors-options/

 

Nice to get quoted. Who knew people actually read what I say - ha ha!.

 

On a related note, Gotta Have it Green (up until now, exclusive to '13 Mustangs) will be available on 2014 Fiestas! It will be called "Green Envy" on the Fiestas, but it has the same paint code as Gotta Have it Green. Looks like it will replace Lime Squeeze. Also, upper trim level 2014 Fiestas will finally get MyFord Touch, Navigation & the Sony Audio System as options like the Focus has had on the '12's and '13's.

 

I know it's a bummer for you guys who didn't purchase a Boss yet, But it not being offered next year is the Best news I've read in awhile.
I loved having a 2 year production model in the Mach1 and now the Boss 302..

Having it continue would just put it into the Shelby type category, Shelby 07,08,09,10,11,12,13 etc etc...

 

I wanted to see how an s197 Mach 1 would look like,I guess that aint gonna happen.I also wanted to see a Bullitt with this body style,I think Ford should celebrate the Mustang's 50th by realeasing some models celebrating the stangs history

 

I agree,since 05 I was waiting for a Mach1..

And I don't mean a sticker package, something real like the 03-04 was ..

 

I wish they would offer even more color choices like Kodiak Brown and Ginger Ale for the final year of the S197. I think a host of new color options would spark demand.

 

I think there might be a Mach 1 or some other special edition mustang. It might even use the 5.8 motor. Think about it, the 5.8 is 351 cubic inches. 351 Cleveland anyone?

 

Ditto

 

They're actually trying to make it appeal more to the younger generation. The average mustang buyer is 55 years old. I'm half that and most of my friends like the retro-style but price is an issue. Most of em won't drop that much money on something unless it's the most amazing thing they've ever seen. Close but no beans

 

You're right hein about Kodiak Brown. It is so beautiful and luxurious looking and Ginger Ale is nothing to sneeze at either.

 

I really like my Lava Red when it's looking black or very dark reddish purple... don't like it much at all when it looks brown. And yeah, when the conditions are right it looks brown to me. I'm glad I got it because it's rare enough that very few people have ever seen it... but it's convinced me (again) that some cars look good metallic and some not so good. I think the Mustang is in the latter group because it doesn't need the 'flash' of a busy paint. Having said that, I'm anxious to see a Ruby Red, because that looks so good on the Escape.. I had a Tuxedo Black Taurus and that was very nice... but I didn't like it on the Fusion or the F150 and think it would just look wrong altogether on a Mustang.

Black, Grabber Blue and PERFORMANCE white just yell 'Mustang' to me.

 

absolutely.. those are really good colors and would have been my 1st & 2nd choice on mine.

replacing maroon with maroon & white with white is total nonsense, even with the cars parked next to each other you could barely tell the difference

No Boss 302 makes way for Mach 1 351 SE?

 

Ginger Ale is an awful color. I saw a new Escape and Taurus with it. Not a fan. Kodiak Brown might be interesting. Is have to see it first.

I still think we're ripe for a Bullitt to send this car off. Take the goodies from the Boss 302 and GT500, sprinkle in some FRPP stuff, and simplify it, and you're set. With the design going modern, I don't see a better time to do it as a one year SE and parts bin special.

 

You'd think that would make sense but, as Steve (Overboost) says, there have been no rumours of a n/a 5.8 so I think we're out of luck. A shame really, but lets see what else Ford has up their sleeves for us for '15+.

 

OMG no boss anymore??!!

 

If we can't have a Boss or Mach 1 with a n/a 5.8, then a Bullitt would be the next best way to send the S197 out in style.

Any chance Brian's digging could relate to a Bullitt??

Base GT 300A & 301A: New option called "GT Appearance Package," option code 542.

Here's hoping
