They might not want to sell it (not saying thhis is definately the case but a possibility). They may want to hold on to it to get people to walk in through the door. The local Chevy dealership still has 2 NEW 2002 Z28 verts. They are for sale for roughly 33k. My guess is if they want to sell them theyd drop the price a few thousand.

I'd rank it 2nd only to the Ford GT one shown during the last super-bowl .

I like that they showed the Mustang II. It shows that Mustang remembers and appreciates it's entire history. There are Mustang II owners who love their cars to death, and I'm sure they're thrilled to be getting some love after getting hate for so long.

I like the cobalt/vette commercials.

I think the field of dreams commercial is lame and a typical ford move to play off the past.

Re: Mustang ads blend nostalgia, dealers claim buyers are being lured to showrooms

I know, 2K1.............. I mean, what the hell............ how dare an auto manufacturer be proud of their heritage???

They should be more like GM............. Impala, Impala SS, Malibu, Monte Carlo, Monte Carlo SS, GTO, death of F-bodies.................

You probably thought the Ford GT commercial during the Super Bowl was lame also........... huh???? BTW, I have it recorded if you would like to see it again.

BTW, I do like the Vette / Cobalt commercials. They actually make the Cobalt look attractive. I didn't realize how much I wasn't going to like them until I saw some of the front and rear shots of the Cobalt SS. Maybe its just me, but it really does look like an updated Cavalier (maybe I have Cavalier on the brain because my moms POS 2000 needs a new steering rack, at 60K miles. I hate that car, and would do anything to get her out of it........... if she wasn't so damn upside down in it........... grrrrrrrrrr )
