GT/CS arrives in Alabama

Ernest Mc Carty Ford in Alabaster, Alabama has a white one on the show room floor. Looks good with the 18" chrome bullets, and the black/gray fade stripe.
Has the 2 toned interior treatment to the seats and the door panels.
Black leather with a parchment? colored insert.

Just wished they had changed the rear deck lid spoiler (wing) to a duck tail or something to make it different looking, in the rear, than a GT.
Other than the lower rear bumper cover changes.

White coupe, with the GT/CS package, adds approx $1850 to the sticker above a GT premium sticker. Bottom line $30,xxx.xx. Best I can remember.
They still have the Hugger Orange GT (07), and a Yello GT (07). The '06 yellow GT has been sold.
The CS looks great, for a white car. There is just enough added CS package add ons to make it "cool".
The interior is great, looks much better than my all black leather, the two-toned black with parchment? inserts on the seats & door panels are sharp.
Has the interior upgrade dash and sill plates.
You should drive up from Calera to look at it.

Yea yea, I don't feel like it- I missed my chance when I was in Alabaster Earlier anyhow, and now its raining and I don't need any car work done till Saturday.And after the screwing I took last weekend, I don't need a ticket for sliding under a redlight or something. I am totally not in the market to buy till September anyway.

That orange one is Fugly. , and the yellow GT was an auto- the one I am having JR ****** up for me is a cloth manual v6 like Eleanor and without those fugly shiny silver bullitts.

I don't think you can get the sewn dash on CS models. For 30 it must be a manual trans. Auto trans and side bags make it about 32 and 4 more for a Vert. total of 36. My local dealer is adding 3K to that for market adjustment making it a total of $39,800 or so. They got 4 cars, they sold the black CS about 2 hours after it arrived. They got a white coupe and a white vert. I don't remember the 4th car.

Did the one you looked at have GT appearence pack?

WOW
only 30K too.

My Dad is on board. My mother is NOT. I just missed him there, he wants it, she is a Jeep Girl, Shes not so smart- if Brian offered me a CS I would leave rubber tracks in the driveway getting there.
While there I Scored a Ford Bold Moves poster. With Taylor Hicks and a Shelby.

The yellow GT on the lot is an '07 auto, the '06 5spd yellow GT was sold.
Yes the "hugger orange" does hug one. Can not get use to that color.

I do not know if the GT/CS in question has an appearance package.
It is a 5-speed car.

To answer the above post/question, the GT/CS does have the GT apperance package. The window sticker list it as Intake plenium cover, hood scoop and rolled exhaust tips? Thought that these were all part of the CS package but guess not. They are in a seperate listing. Yes the price is $30,450.00 at the bottom of the sticker with no added on extras.

A very pretty car, but I am partial to my black '06 GT.

By the way got extra posters, both Taylor Hicks, and the one with the silver v6 on it.

That intake cover was sweet! That was my most favorite thing.

My Dad says he wants to figure out how to get a ladder rack on it so my Mom won't gripe when he buys it. He got rear ended by an illegal today, and fell in love with it while he was getting an estimate on repairs.

I too am in love with it, but too pricey for me after buying the beverly hillbillies mansion.

Jr wasn't around when I went in, I just got stupid taylor hicks. I hung it in the garage.

Right you are, the "wrapped & stitched" dash, console lid & armrests are part of the Premier Trim Package which is not available with the GT/CS.

Crimony!! I haven't seen markups like that here since the '05's came out. In fact if you pay sticker around here you're getting ripped off. 3k markup is insane!!

That's correct; the scoop, cover & exhaust tips are part of the GT Appearance Group. It is an option with the GT/CS and other GT's, but does not come standard on the GT/CS.

I noticed the doors as well- they have honeycomb on the door where ours only indent a little bit- kind of like the 99-04. What is the point of that?

I think the scoop is for looks as well. The intake Cover--- Sweet mother that was beautiful.

The two toned leather seats- MAN O MAN. I didn't even try to sit in it, I would have sold everything I own just to have it.

The only problem with it, it was white. Blah.

I carry a camera phone or a digital camera everywhere with me. To the races (while working HA! HA!) etc. I do not have the computer experience to post the millons of digital pictures that I take on this sight. Thanks, I am self taught in the land of windows.
The only computer I had growing up was a Texas Instrument calculator,
and it was not the slide rule type.

I had my camera phone in hand. Unfortunately, It was connected to my Dad who I had just found out was in there looking at it. First time I have ever been there and not taken a picture of something.

It looked like this, only with a scoop and other toys.
