I worked 14 hours last night and got up to go pick it up today. I have to say this dealership does THE worst prep I have ever had on a car I bought. That being said the car is beautiful. No good pictures yet, but here is one sitting in the drive.
I know a lot of you prefer to get rid of any chrome and think the inside has too much "bling". Frankly, we love it. It is very retro. Looks more like what I remember from the classics. I really miss the growl of a V8 but the appearance on the Pony is more what I wanted and I don't have anywhere to drive a V8 like it should be driven.
Husband and sons plan to put it on the lift tomorrow and give it the once over. Found a flaw in one of the wheels already. It is a machining flaw I think. Personally, I think Ford should replace it but in this day and age I doubt they will.
Can wait for a day off so that I can have a little fun!!!

Things happen for a reason and this is the car for which you "settled". It is a beauty. Welcome o the Lava Red Family. It looks as if it will quickly become a very exclusive club of Mustang owners.

My car arrives Tuesday but I have a situation..I travel this Thrus/Friday until the following Tuesday. I'm having the dealer install a few accesorries which one of them has to be painted.The thing is I don't want to leave a brand new car at the airport..I have a trade in involved so I think Im going to have the dealer hold my car at the dealership until I come back..Torture!!!
If wondering why read my post!!

Been following this thread since March. My fiancee placed an order for a Race Red GT Premium convertible on March 16. It finally arrive on June 2 and we took delivery this weekend.
Tremendous car.
Thanks to Deysha for keeping us sane while we endured the long wait.
I know its not real until photos are posted. When we get better weather in Northern Virginia, I'll take a few shot and post them.
Next accessory to order: MRT headrests.
