Nice deduction, that's him alright. I'll have to go down to the dealership he used (Crossroads Ford) and see if they'll offer Xplan on a Bullitt...

 

MARK, congrats man I hope you are enjoying it! Have you had a chance to really drive it yet?

 

Mark,

Did you ever get a chance to post that video. I'd like to hear it run.

 

I posted it but then removed it because I recorded it in wide aspect and photobucket squishes it horizontally so it looks horrible. Sounds good though

 

Honestly, I'm more interested in the soundtrack anyway.

 

Ok I'll repost it and will let u know when it's back up.

 

tia. can't wait.

 

Ok here you go. My 1st drive.

Funny, my neighbor later told me he felt as though he was being disrespectful using his leaf blower

Congratulations. Very nice! I think that you should take the plastic off, rofl.

 

Those first drives are always the most special. My first was a block down the street from the dealer to the gas station. He needed to take it anyway, so he let me drive it first before I actually bought it. Then I drove it 2 hours home.

Thanks for putting that back up. I could see why you were disappointed in the video format. If you get a chance, I'd like to hear it at start up and some revs. Maybe even a drive away. I just want to hear what a SGT sounds like without music, leaf blowers, etc.

Thanks Mark. Beautiful car!

Added some CS wheels caps. Got them from TMS's very own Kevin Casey. Need to get some pix in the daytime as the flash bulb makes them look a lighter shade of blue. In normal light they match much better to the Vista Blue.

 

Hey Mark, they actually fit? I ask, as I've been told that they were only for their wheels, due to the way the caps are shaped. Thats SWEET that the do fit. Looks great. As soon as I saw them released, they were added to my car ASAP. No red on my car anywhere, and the red "CS" stood out against a blue car like a sore thumb.

 

Actually red can look pretty good on a Blue Shelby GT.

As far as fit, check out this thread, especially post 12.

Our Kevin Casey checked them out personally and I can vouch that they do indeed fit snug. Now the lip is a little smaller on the CS caps but it still looks great.

 

They look good Mark. Another piece of the 65/66 GT350 theme.

 

I bought my 1994 Mustang Convertible at Kimnach Ford right off the showroom floor...





I was born in Norfolk General Hospital.... All of my family is originally from that area and it is still home to all of my earliest memories. I returned to the Hampton Roads area in 1988 and lived there until 1996.

Anyway, congrats on yoru new Stang and thanks for bringing back the memories of me taking home the then new 1994 Mustang...I remember being so excited when that car first came out with the main classic Mustang cues back in place... It was the Mustang I always hoped Ford would build.... Except who knew many years later in 2008 I would get one better than I could ever imagined...

 

Nice Mustangs. I like the V6 Pony Package.

 

Thanks for the posts. I still take my 96GT and 03 F-150 to Kimnach.

I may be done with the exterior cues to the GT 350 now. But I guess you are never really done.

 

Great story Mark. I was "reliving" all the anticipation. Now I know the story behind the car and the driver! Interestingly I had ordered my SGT while you were still waiting on yours. I understand the frustration with the shipping dates as my wife and I were told incorrectly on several occasions that my car had shipped, had been delivered, for several months. Ours was scheduled for delivery 20 DEC 07 but we did not get it until the first week of March. One of the times they said it was delivered to the dealer, it was actually delivered to SAI! Again, excellent read. I am glad you didn't delete the thread. I can't wait to get home from the desert myself and enjoy the SGT again.
