Prop Rods: Just another feature to make you feel like you're in still in the 70s. It's very retro, and tastefully so!

 

Well, they have been using them on Mustangs since 1974, the last vestige left over from the oh so fantastic Mustang II...

 

Looks like it already has an MCA sticker on the windshield

 

Oh, good. I strongly dislike hood struts and think the stick is how God intended hoods to be held open.

 

Race Red and Grabber Blue are dueling for the honor of my purchase right now...decisions decisions

 

Race Red it up. Just look at the picture in the OP. Stunning.

 

Prop rod FTW

 

my god race red is so beautiful in that pic...it just POPS

 

I think I may...can get the Saddle interior, plus all of the Mustangs at my track days and competition events are some shade of silver, grey, or blue...not any Red ones...

 

I remember some of the old spring-actuated hood supports (pre-1974 model Mustangs and other makes). When they got old they sometimes would bind (esp if you didn't lubricate them occasionally). I remember seeing some hoods on the older cars that were bent when some dummy tried forcing the hood closed while the hood supports were binding. Definitely like the prop rod myself.

 

After seeing that picture last night, I had second thoughts of Kona Blue...then my salesman emails me today telling me my car has been allocated to build...****!...decision decisions.

 

My grabber gets way more comments from the color than the 5.0 badging or just being a Mustang. So far I've had everything from a BMW 600 series owner say LOVe the color, what kind of car is that to 'bout time they brought back the 5.0... might want to get some stripes to break up that color LOL!

I was going to go Kona personally until a friend reminded me. Out of all the colors on a Stang everything else (yet offered on the 2011's) is a Honda color or a stereotype. You see a grabber blue car from a mile away and know exactly what it is. I actually would have gone red if my last two cars werent. No such thing as a bad color on a mustang.

Happy mind-making-upping. You can't go wrong.

 

I've made up my mind, I'll compromise on the Gt/Cs package but not on the color, Grabber Blue FTW.

 

You'll love your GB Cali Special. Those are beautiful cars.
