I was looking on BON and came across these pics. Some look photoshopped but some seem to be fairly accurate and maybe someone uncovered one of those test mules.

Any thoughts?

 

One moment....Let me shake the Magic 8 Ball....


hmmmm...."All signs point to yes"

 

yes they are real, as I understand it someone got into trouble for them as well... They are either spot on or 90% of what the Stang will look like.

 

Yes, they are very real.

 

Well I thought it looked fairly accurate. But the first pic of the nose with foglights in the grille looked kinda "doctor'd"

Overall I like the design. Not as retro as the concept and I like that.

 

Ford emailed Brad (of bradbarnett.com) to remove these pics from his site pronto.Yes they are pissed.The guy who took the pics had charges put against him.

 

Do we really know if he lost his job? Kinda sad if he did.

(Not unexpected, but nevertheless sad.)

 

They are real.

There is far too much detail to be doctored... right down to the new car informational tags hanging from the glove box on the interior shot.

 

instead, they should fire person who approved the interior design!

 

The pictures are most certainly real!

However, I'm not sure if the story about the guy being fired is, though. Ford is going to have these cars at both Detroit & LA in less than 3 months, and the concept itself was previewed last year. Also, these pictures aren't new, they are many months old.

Though I'm sure Ford media didn't release them, I suspect there was advance knowledge of them being sent out by someone. Ford is known for doing things like this. Most all those prototype front ends grafted on existing cars for "cooling tests" had their locations leaked, and the infamous uncovered SN94 Mustang clay model on the flatbed pictures virtually had the truck's route leaked.

BTW: Last year's Mustang Concept styling is an early peak at the 2005 Mustang Cobra.

 

Would you care to elaborate guionM?Please?Shelby Cobra.SVT Cobra.If you were given such a bone what else could you "hint" us at.

 

I have seen Lincoln LS's with 2005 Mustang front ends on them. I took a close look at one once and it did have the spots on the grill molded in for where the lights are supposed to go.

 

There isnt even a question of if the lights in the grill are going to be on the production piece.They will be.Its hard to tell if its the GT or v6

 

 

Thank you Ford for bringing me another chopped up fugly car. The interior looks that of a refined fox body from 89 vs the 94-99 cars, and the exterior looks kinda bulky a gawdy. Literally this almost feels like the thunderbird trend all over again. Anyone who couldn't own the 69-72 Mach 1 can now own it today!! Sorry so negative on this one, but I was hoping they would have taken the positives from the concept and grown on it, but I guess not...
