    Decided To Wait

    After getting some ridiculous pricing for a 2007-2009 GT convertible, I decided to hold off on purchasing a vert until the Oct/Nov/Dec timeframe. I expect prices to be a bit more reasonable at that time. Expect to be prowling the forum for any and all info on a S-197 purchase as I am totally...

    I have been looking at 1967-1973 Mustangs. One thing that has me puzzled is the number of cars that are advertised "fully restored", but, reading the ad, you find out the a/c is "not hooked up" or "just needs charge".

    2005 looks nice,but,

    Went to the NYC auto show yesterday. The Ford exhibit is awesome. Especially the big screen video of the 05 stang, GT and Cobra concept racing through the streets. The 05 Stang is impressive, but, I don't think I was impressed enough to go out and sell my 01 GT vert to buy one. I'll be more...
