Um, aren't we all forgetting the Boss 351? That would be far more likely to be resurrected than the Boss 9, IMHO... Maybe the SVT boys could bore out the 5.4L that in the GT500, a nice paint job here, a killer set of mags there, badda bing, badda boom, Boss 351!

that's all fine and good, but tuxedo black is not a mustang color so that is irrelevant. i would assume the only colors possibly affected would be the metallic maroon color you can get on standard stangs, the boss simply isn't affected by this only YB is metallic and the silver which is apparently not affected either. I am Very familair with tuxedo black, the wife has a 10 edge that color.

Hell, the link he posted even lists the affected models.

The paint shortage affects the F-150 and Super Duty lines of pickups, as well as the Explorer, the Expedition, Focus, Taurus and the Lincoln MKS and Navigator.

Dude you really seem like it is a must everyone believes everything you write, then you go off insulting people ???

I spoke with Ford's Mustang Marketing Director a few days ago. He was upfront with delays about parts but never said anything about paint being an issue. There were some colors like Lava Red that are effected but the dealers were asked not to order the color for stock, that means they still have some for customer orders.

In any case you may be correct but it is not worth all the BS. Rumors are just that, when and if it happens we shall all know.

I could see Ford doing an aluminum blocked 6.2. But that remains to be seen.

I talked to the porter at the local Ford dealer and he said the 429 is a fact. Should be on lots this time next year.
