Seeing 05 Mustangs everywhere

I'm seeing at least 1 sometimes 2 a day in all different colors and trims. I saw a vert gt, but I don't think I like it as much as the coupe. The back end hasn't quite grown on me yet either but the front is bad a$$.

Re: Seeing 05 Mustangs everywhere

I don't think the GT's are supposed to be out until January. Only v6's.

Re: Seeing 05 Mustangs everywhere

I didn't think any of them at all were out until February... or is that the Charger?

Re: Seeing 05 Mustangs everywhere

Well, you're over in Livonia. I think they still have a lot of manufacturer's Mustangs driving around. I see at least 1 each day on Hines Drive while riding my mountain bike. I think that a lot of them are from Ford though.

Re: Seeing 05 Mustangs everywhere

Considering Ford has a plant located directly across from GM's North American Northstar Powertrain plant it doesnt surprise me. I have also been seeing more and more here. I saw 3 GT's driving by GM's Tech Center today in Warren.

There is a way to tell if they are still fleet vehicles (which they obviously still are). In the lower part of the windshield (driver side) there will be a barcode. If it's there, that's how you can tell. On GM's its there, on Fords I believe its there OR on the driver side window in the corner.

Re: Seeing 05 Mustangs everywhere

I haven't seen all the license plates, but all of the plates I did see were manufacture plates.

Trust me. By Christmas we'll be tripping over these cars.

The only reason I haven't put a deposit on one yet (plus I'm waiting for GTOs to drop more ).
