Exactly...my verbiage might not have been too good, but that is what I wanted to convey. Crossing fingers!

It might not be as pretty as the '70, but it just seems to have a certain no-compromise edginess to it, is far more rare, and is the car with the direct Trans-Am pedigree.

I have always thought the 69 models looked better than their 1970 counterparts. The loss of the sidescoop wasn't a big deal, but the front end in 1970 isn't nearly as attractive.

BTW - I don't know whose photo that is, but that looks a lot like the museum turn at Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, AL... no affiliation to Skip Barber Racing Schools.

Typically, embargoes end at 12:01a on the day of unveiling. Some auto news outlets will leak earlier, and once one does, it comes out on all of them. While we may not see the unveil til 12p PST, we may see some info at 12:01a EDT tonight.

That clear it up for you?

Actually glad I can't get a new Mustang yet. I get to see all the new and exciting things going on! Then I can choose!

Notice the key word there was typically.

Hell, for all we know, it could be embargoed until the actual unveiling.

I'd just like to say hello to the Ford employees watching this site making sure nothing gets leaked out.

I'd also like to thank you for making an amazing vehicle like this Boss 302, and the current Mustang, and to keep doing what you're doing.
