A Go Pro HD would probably sit nicely inside one of the blocked-off fog light openings.

Oh, and for those who might be wondering, check out this video (be sure to watch it in 1080)

 

The original numbers floated by Ford on the GT500 were around 7k per year for two years. They ended up building almost 11k 07s, 10k 08s and 3k 09s.....and guess what they are still building them. Ford will probably build the Boss as long as there is demand.

The 07 GT500 that went for as much as $70k with ADMs (MSRP was $45k) can be had for about $35k right now with 2k or less miles. If miles are up over 20k they can be had for $30k. Don't buy the Boss if you're hoping for an "investment" type return. You better buy it to drive it and enjoy it.

 

Well Ford did it once with the GT (40) so lets hope they do it again with the Boss. The number of GT's built was actually less then the 4,500 stated. I agree with you about not buying it for an investment, most cars are not. It would be nice having a car that holds it's value because it is rare, special and desired, not for resale.

I just do not see them producing "extra" cars, at least this year. That would just be a big waste of time and money going through the process of allotting so many per dealer. Plus you have to why they did it his year if they do not plan it for 13. They never did anything like that with the Shelby, correct?

There is only one way I will want to part with mine and that is if the 13 is more to my taste, I have always liked the 70 more than the 69 but that has more to do with the overall car then just graphics but that is a big part.

 

They allocated the GT500s one per dealer, then as a "share of nation" based on sales. Not terribly different from the Boss, except for numbers. Since they are making less Bosses than there are dealers, they did a "share of nation" allocation like the GT500, but used a lottery for the balance versus one per dealer.

 

OK, sorry for my ignorance on the Shelby but I do not know much about it. I was under the impression you could order one from any dealer. So if a dealer only had an allocation for the one car, someone could not order a second one there?

 

No apology required. No you couldn't just order one, you had to have an allocation. I was 32nd on the waiting list at my local dealer with a $500 deposit and they were allocated 4 cars. I had to travel to a tiny dealership in SW Wisconsin to get mine with an ADM.

 

Sheds a different light on things. Best we can do is hope they are true to their word. The first car I drove was a Ford and the last car I drive will most likely be a Ford. I would be very upset if Ford lies to us about this. Even if they build more in 13 than this year I hope we don't see a 14.

 

I am not particularly fond of the stripes or the white roof, at least black appears to be a continuation to the windshield and rear window rather than a break in between but I would not alter the factory design under any circumstance and would live with the color combo I choose which would have been Yellow Blaze even though it is not my favorite color.

Regardless, the graphics can't be seen when one is driving. To me the car is more important, the color is icing on the cake.

 

I guess I'm not sure Ford promised us anything. They are in business to design, build and market cars for a profit. If anything, we're getting a bargain on these cars big time. Given the amount of apparent R&D they put into the Boss specific performance features, they could have charged more, especially with the limited quantity they are amortizing it over. I personally hope they build as many as they can sell at a profit. It will ensure they will continue to invest in programs like this far into the future. I definitely don't plan on this being my last Mustang.

 

I really like the Kona Blue. It's as close to the Vista of my current car as I can get. Ironically, I switched my GT/CS stripes from black to white because of the contrast. However with the over-the-top stripes of the Boss, I was hoping for an option for something more subdued. The black also works much better with the spoiler and wheels. I don't intend to do anything irreversible, which is why I would put a wrap on the roof instead of painting it.

Did you know that Canadians have the option of getting Yellow with White stripes. I bet there will be less than TEN of those cars built. Collectors should be interested.

 

 

This is what has me thinking of switching from white to black stripes. The red, yellow, white and orange cars look much more integrated with the black wheels, spoiler and stripes. The roof is a separate issue for me. If it was black I'd leave it that way.

 

Thinking about it, too bad you can't order white stripes on the white Boss. Would be a subtle accent.

 

I would imagine that with the gloss decals, it would be invisible.

 

You can tell the wait is killing ALL of us. We're all ready to mod, repaint, restripe before we even get our cars!

 

I resemble that remark

 

It would be good if the '13 MY would have a clean look or at least the delete option.

 

I know the schemes are a bit funky, but IMO it's appropriate that they are noticably different than other Mustangs. It's part of what makes a special edition, well, special. I am primarily buying for the performance aspect, but I think it's cool that they will look unique. Given that most of us will not have more than a handful, IF ANY other Bosses in our market, it'll be obvious when people see one.
