Are there 2011's in some dealerships already???

Looking at cars.com and there are 139 listings for 2011 Mustangs at dealers all over the country.

Are they just trying to pre-sell before they actually have the cars?

All forms are listed, 3.7's, 5.0's and GT500's.

I don't think any have shipped from the factory yet. Probably just trying to advertise.

edit: looked and none have pictures, they do have VIN#'s though. One dealership seems to think they have one in "razor red"..

I don't think the 2011's are at dealers yet. My dealer often has over 200 Mustangs on their lot. I think my V-6 will be with my dealers first shippment of 2011's. My Mustang has a ETA of April 23rd.

Our first 2011 Mustang (a V6 coupe) has an ETA of 4/23 per Ford. Vehicles start showing up online at Ford's own websites for each dealer about a week before the vehicles arrive (but after a VIN is assigned and it's built). Perhaps websites like cars.com are getting inventory info fed from Ford?

I just checked our Ford-provided website, for example, and there 4 2011 F-250 showing up for our dealership even though we don't have any in stock yet (they're due in later in the week).

This dealer on Ebay says their white 2011 GT500 just arrived and they're selling it. It might not be true that it was delivered, but there is a VIN provided in the auction desc. I looked up the VIN and it in fact belongs to a 2011 Shelby GT500.

I went to take a look at this car and it seems they have closed the bidding. Perhaps someone told them to cut the crap.

Those wheels look so small compared to the rest of the truck.

I hope Ford has finally got a new PowerStroke they can depend on. Seems like ever since the end of the 7.3 that they have had nothing but trouble.

Our first pair of '11 F-250's showed up yesterday. Our first '11 Mustang's ETA has been pushed back to April 29th now (V6 coupe). We still don't have a single '11 GT even scheduled for production yet! We did finally get our '11 GT500 scheduled, though.

That stopped with the intro of the 6.4. Only real complaint about the 6.4 is horrible gas mileage. Reliability has been very good.

Well, my '96 F350 XLT 7.3 PowerStroke Crew-Cab Dually was stone reliable, never a single real problem in over 160K miles. Fuel economy on it wasn't as good as I would have liked but I had a heavy custom steel flatbed on it. That and 4.10 gears didn't make for best fuel economy. It was a really great truck though.

We deliver to every state in the United States "excludes Hawaii" for a flat fee of $150.00.


At least that part sounds like a good deal.

As for the new 6.7L Power Stroke, keep in mind that this all new engine was designed in-house by Ford with no involvement from Navistar (International), who was the previous supplier of Ford Power Stroke light duty truck diesel engines. The new engine uses reverse flow technology with the intakes on the outside of the heads and the exhaust in the engine valley feeding a single, dual stage turbo. It also uses a CGI (Compacted Graphite Iron) engine block.
