Talking Finally Arrived!

Well, ordered on 3 Jan 11, built on 14 April 11, delivered 28 April 11.

Finally had a chance to wash and wax it myself and I'm pleased with the results. So far, just over 200 miles, pure driving enjoyment with no issues yet. First mustang, I don't think I ever realized how much fun these cars are. Enjoy the pics. The last two are of my boys enjoying the moment. I think they're even more excited than me.

Thanks. It was funny because for some reason, no Illinois dealers had any mustangs with Brick red interior in stock. I would have gladly purchased a 2011 model if it had that interior but no dealers would order it as part of their stock. So I ended up ordering. I would have thought this combo would have been easier to find.

Thumbs up

Gorgeous Stang

You know, it's a cliche for sure, but those photos, for me at least, are a great example of the American Dream. Gorgeous house in a great neighbourhood, a great American car on the driveway and two great kids to enjoy it with.

Congrats

Thank you for sharing. In my experience the kids truly are more excited than we are. The cars my dad brought home as a kid made me the car guy I am now. My kids argue over who is gonna get which car when they grow up.

Congrats on the car and on getting the next generation of Mustang enthusiasts started.

Also thank you for your service.

Your car is sensational. In my mind you have one of the most iconic combos: Black with Brembos, along with 401A brick.

Im happy for you but it makes me sad that it took almost 4 months to get an ordered GT. It looks like Im also going to order what I want because nobody has a premium GT with just brembos and 3.73s only. And also in the color I want. If I order next week, then it looks like I wont get one until the END of summer. Sucks. Congrats to you though.

Beautiful car, great kids, nice place to live. I can only imagine a wonderful lady and possibly a family pet is missing from the perfect picture (its a "finally my car arrived" thread anyhow). Well it looks like you are living the good life. Have fun with the car!!

Great color combo! My first car was a black LTD II with a red interior, with Magnum 500's all around, was pretty sharp for it's day. These new mustangs are so hot. My wife likes her all black GT, but I like the extra pop you get with the red, especially the wheel & the door panels.

Enjoy!
