Spotted: 05 Mustang conv.
 

Not due out till spring, we saw these cars being driven by factory reps. What do you think?

Re: Spotted: 05 Mustang conv.
 

I think they look good

Re: Spotted: 05 Mustang conv.
 

I want to see when the coba edition comes out rumor is 07 I told my dealer order me one now rumored 500 hp

Re: Spotted: 05 Mustang conv.
 

I see they brought back that yucky old green color. Some things that were popular in the old days are retired for a reason. LEAVE IT THAT WAY!

I have seen a few coupes and 1 convertible here in the DC area. Suprisingly, they are growing on me. Couple that with the Ford 500 and the Mercury Montego having AWD as available options, FMC is really stepping up to the plate. I believe the 500 and the new Mustang have similar frames, which might lead to an AWD Mustang someday. This would really give Ford an edge in the modern day muscle car handling where they have traditionally lacked (in stock form). GM is gonna feel the burn... this coming from a tried and true GM fan.

Re: Spotted: 05 Mustang conv.
 

I like the fastbacks better

Re: Spotted: 05 Mustang conv.
 

AWD is the answer! Now-a-days if you can't put the power to the ground, your getting your doors blown off from street light to street light by a truck!! I know because I run all sorts of cars with more hp than my SS and leave most of them standing spinning their wheels! Except the AWD cars!

And I have to see one of those with the top down before I can pass judgment!

Re: Spotted: 05 Mustang conv.
 

They just loose something by eliminating the fastback look. Not sure about the ragtops.

Re: Spotted: 05 Mustang conv.
 

Sharp!

Re: Spotted: 05 Mustang conv.
 

They just need more more more HP in those :D

Re: Spotted: 05 Mustang conv.
 

I don't get it either Troutly, but over the past couple years, I have seen at least 4 pre-release 'mules' in Reston, near Dulles Airport; including the Dodge Crossfire, Scion xB, PT Cruiser convertible, now the Mustang; all with manufacturer plates.

Re: Spotted: 05 Mustang conv.
 

Me too....

Re: Spotted: 05 Mustang conv.

Re: Spotted: 05 Mustang conv.
 

05 cobra 400 ponies 5 speed only

Re: Spotted: 05 Mustang conv.
 

so they are going back to a five speed... :rolleyes:

Re: Spotted: 05 Mustang conv.
 

If any one is close to me and would like a ride in a yuckie green GT let me know. Alot of bang for the buck.

Re: Spotted: 05 Mustang conv.
 

So they look like Mustang convertibles ... just like the fastbacks look like Mustang fastbacks .... nothing special

I think in 2 years you wont be able to swing a dead cat without
hitting one. They will be a dime a dozen and every guido with
a gold chain or chick with a 80's hairdo will own one.

Re: Spotted: 05 Mustang conv.
 

what he said.... they have to drive something when they're not in their fountains.. :evilb:

Re: Spotted: 05 Mustang conv.
 

Few cares look better as coups over their conv counterparts, but this is one of those cars. The fastback looks much better than the convertible.

Re: Spotted: 05 Mustang conv.
 

LOL, my BIL has one ordered in that color. It'll have the black stripe down the hood and trunk. I'm not a Mustang fan by any means, but I hate to admit, I really like this new one! And it's retro back to probably my least favorite time for it!

Re: Spotted: 05 Mustang conv.
 

nice mat, i want me a 69 fast back who knows where i can get one 67-69.... either done or in good enough shape where i can send it out. shelby would be cool but does not have to be. stecz

Re: Spotted: 05 Mustang conv.
 

Uh..........Who cares!! :p Just kiddin'! I like the new Moosewangs.....I want one the same color of "Eleanor" from gone in 60 seconds. Bad Ass!! :cool:

Re: Spotted: 05 Mustang conv.
 

I think they'll shove a V6 in it and sell it for under $20k, within 2 years you paper carrier will have one and take all the desirability out of it.

Can't blame them volume, volume, volume spells profit in that business.

Re: Spotted: 05 Mustang conv.
 

Best lookin' Stang since 1969 :evilb:. Now if they just put some ballz in it :cool:

Re: Spotted: 05 Mustang conv.
 

even though they aren't out until spring there are a few running around as so called test cars - engineering cars etc.

Re: Spotted: 05 Mustang conv.
 

The new Mustang is the first car I've really considered buying in the last 20 years or so. I like the fastback look better, and I'm a big fan of ragtops.

What's wrong with the green? In 1969 it was called "Lime Gold".

Re: Spotted: 05 Mustang conv.
 

Roby, don't they call that color "No-sale Green"?

Re: Spotted: 05 Mustang conv.
 

I like the coupes better then the convertables. I tend to like that green. know one said I was smart though.

Re: Spotted: 05 Mustang conv.
 

Ausome!

Re: Spotted: 05 Mustang conv.
 

Im Kind of leaning toward this!!!!!!

Re: Spotted: 05 Mustang conv.
 

:D :D :D

Re: Spotted: 05 Mustang conv.
 

I'm a Chevy guy, but the new Mustang is a very cool looking car!!! I think you guys are being a little to harsh!!

Convertible or fastback, its a car that most of us could afford to drive around.....

If we didn't need a kid carrier and a truck to pull the boat, I'd buy one to have a little fun in!! And it would probably be the Retro-Green color that most of you don't seem to like......

Re: Spotted: 05 Mustang conv.
 

FunHome,
thanks for helping me out. These cars are affordable and a big bang for the buck. I also like the green.

Re: Spotted: 05 Mustang conv.
 

brings back sweet memories of High School in the late '70s and muscle cars....

I had a '69 Mach 1 back then, took out the Windsor, dropped in 289 HiPo with 12 to 1 and 4 speed from '67 GT 350.....what a blast........too bad the 350 was rear ended by a tractor -trailer rig!!!! :(

Re: Spotted: 05 Mustang conv.
 

I'm driving an '05 Mustang rental car this week (had to pull some strings to get it). I haven't driven a car in a long time that got this much attention - not since driving the pre-production Firebirds when I worked for GM Engineering. While going down the freeway this week, sometimes it was hard to change lanes, because people were pulling along side trying to get a look.

There are a few new car glitches, but overall the car drives incredibly well, especially considering how inexpensive this car is. They did a great job.
