    05 Mustang GT

    Well an employee of mine went looking for a new Mustang GT yesterday,...none to be found. He then had one of the local dealers build one up, only to find out that they couldn't get a build allocation (that's it for the year). He then had them check the system around the country for one, found one just like he wanted. Called the dealer and put a deposit down on it (and did get it less than sticker).
    This morning, he is on an airliner heading for Tennesse from Omaha to buy/pickup his new GT (the dealer will pick him up at the airport). He'll have the weekend to drive it back.

    6 speed?? That one is very rare (and possibly mis-built).
    (#6178 in black per FPIC)
    Call 1-800-FORD-788 and press "1". Have the last 6 of your VIN handy. You will get the numbers for FREE. You'll pay $$$ for the certificate.

    MM traded in 8/9/13 @ 128909 miles. It was fun for almost 8 years. I met airmercpun on 1/17/14. He was the new owner of my former ride. -Now gone.

    Update: back in the game with a late build 03 GMGS with some MM add ons like Escape audiophile radio w/Sirius sat radio, rear sway bar, catback exhaust, and header panel.

    See my garage file for part numbers and whatnot.

    IMHO, this site- the members that I chat with- and the ones that I now Hang with- are like my 2nd family. There is such an ongoing welcome feeling here that even members who don't or no longer own the MM can feel.

    I have seen only one '05 Mustang GT running around here ... a red one. A salesman at one of the largest Ford Dealer's in the region said that they can't get 'em and any that are in-bound ( onesies only) are already spoken for.

    My brother as we speak is finally on his way to picking up his new '05 Mustang GT (BTW, he custom ordered his before Christmas '04). But his is only a 5-speed stick. Too bad the weather here looks more like the middle of January instead of early spring... (Snowing, again! Temp. to drop to -15C by evening) He's doing a custom striping job based on the '70 Boss 302. Can't wait to see it when I get home.

    Y'all remember my thread about the engines for the GT's, right? YET, another major Ford screw up. I've been howling about the dopes running Ford from day one.

    I just looked at an '05 GT that the customer backed out of. Dealer want $500.00 over sticker.

    I'll wait for the hype to die down or for a special edition.

    Looks as if the engine issue's been solved and they're in the pipeline, ...finally.

    They have them all over the lots here in Ft Lauderdale and Miami. The weather is great, fly down, hit the beach and drive it home.

    My neighbor has one, bought it a two months ago, Silver, it is pretty sweeeeeet!

    Mike,

    Could you elaborate on the engine issue? Or point me in the direction of your original thread?

    Thanks,
    -Mike

    My sister has one, mineral grey metallic, shaker 500 audio system, 5 speed, not a bad car, she had the stock exhaust replaced with an SLP loudmouth system already, and is on the list to let SLP borrow her car to test out new exhaust parts on, once that's done she'll get the new headers and mid-pipe at cost with free install. She's not part of our collective but resistance to modding is still futile.
