The plant is still open and Mazda6's are being built there currently. There is a parts hold due to a fire at a Magna plant, but they are still being built there.

I drove through there yesterday and saw a row of 6s in that fenced in paddock area where the wingless LS cars were spotted.

Plant is closed this week. Hopefully production for Mustangs and Mazdas will continue in a week.

The small collection of Boss 302's was sitting in the lot on the NW corner of International Dr. and Gibraltar Rd.

Is that a test track I see? If so how long is it?

Next to the plant is also a small 'cobble stone / uneven surface' type track used to find rattles, etc.

Just rejoining the fray after a weekend offline, with a couple of comments.
Phytrpilot: that's not your Performance White car, its mine. Sucks to be you.

And as for acid rain and bird droppings: we should be concerned. My 2010 GT500 sat on those lots for 45 days, and after nearly two years I'm still trying to polish out the etched paint. Wish they'd load them already and get them out of that environment.

Mike, thanks for the tour. Thank goodness this isn't 1969 when no internet and when immediate information was not available.

Man seeing those Kona cars really make them scream for black stripes.

With that said it looks like a few owners can't say their Boss has never seen rain or snow.

Mike, do you know if any Bosses were amongst the cars that shipped from the "full" lot?

When that lot was full a couple of weeks ago it had No Bosses that you could see. I was looking specifically for roof paint. They were all regular cars or verts. No Shelby's were visible at that time either. If there were any at all, they were buried were they couldn't be seen.

I couldn't see any Bosses in the lot where the rail cars come in either. I did see a couple of random Shelby's over there however.

The building North of the plant where the LS's were on my first trip was packed full this last time, but none were Bosses.
