Barrett-Jackson in Palm Beach, Fla
Went to Barret-Jackson in Palm Beach yesterday, awesome. They have a huge Ford Presence, a GHIG Boss and Black LS, both open for inspection. Several GT500s and a GTSC. They have several models to test drive and they have hot laps (where you are passenger) in 2012 Bosses and I think a couple of 2013 GT500s. Going back today or tomorrow and will get some pics. I would recommend that anyone close enough to attend should go check it out. It is way more then just the auction.

I'm still glad I ordered the Grabber Blue Boss, but I could see if you are into green, the GHIG looks good in person. It really is a good time to be a Mustang fan.

re the black LS; was it displayed on it's side or normal? i've been searching for normal pix, no luck so far.

Sorry guys, I will be going back tomorrow and will take numerous pictures. I'll try to stop by the Speedway too. One thing I thought was strange was that the GHIG Boss said "2013 Mustang coming spring 2012." My girlfriend took a pic of that. The Deep Impact Blue GT500 is an amazing color. I don't remember if that is available on the Boss, but that is one of the nicest dark blues I have seen.
Also, yeah the black LS is sitting normal, on all fours (like a good girl) with the hood open. I tried to see if there was a series number, but the plates appeared to be blank.

The black is sweet and I am not a fan of black. Sorry 12 guys but the 13 is (IMHO) much nicer. The fact that they did not make a complete stripe kit on the LS is sad, some of the Ford people agree with that.
I really like the green, much nicer then any pictures I have seen. The other pics make it looks washed out, to me the color was deeper then I thought. Again there is a big mistake on the stripes. The center wide stripe (that was painted on the 70) has no pin striping but the two outside ones do, looks weird
Just the two 13's there, had a couple of 12's out back you could go for a ride in. There was a bunch of other Mustangs including some call 500 somethingorother's (GC500, GP500 :) So after I got my complimentary Ford T-shirt and before I left I went over to the Government Motors display (I felt strange, like being behind enemy lines) since I figured I would get a Chevy T-Shirt, you never have enough rags to clean up after changing the Boss's oil, right? I figured I paid for that company, minds as well get something out of it but whatdoyaknow NO DAM SHIRT. Where the hell are my tax dollars going? The only thing I can figure it went to drop cars out of airplanes or hook them up to bungee cords because as we have all wondered at some point - How well will the Boss do a twisty flip off of some ramps?
Anyway here are some pics, more to come. The pics are not great, I did not use a flash so they are not in great focus.

scott- thx for posting the pix. it's great they have the vehicles unlocked. if you do go back to take more pix, keep in mind when using the flash, the stripes will reflect. e.g.-

I wonder how much effort would it take to install that cross brace in the back. Wouldn't you think some aftermarket company would eventually attempt it? That is one modification I would make.
