Here's 1st look of real 05 Mustang picture

:THUMBSUP:

punch · 11-17-2003, 02:55 AM

Don't like it one bit.

Starsky · 11-17-2003, 03:31 AM

Real picture??

Mustanganatic · 11-17-2003, 03:32 AM

I really like it. Can't wait for some more pictures.

codymach · 11-17-2003, 05:24 AM

I'll make a prediction that Ford sells 300,000....I know thats goin' out on a limb but it is a beautiful Mustang IMHO.

IMachU · 11-17-2003, 07:11 AM

When I work at the Ford Dealer, about 33% of the people that come in (for trucks, SUV's and cars) ask when the new Mustang is coming out. About 1/2 of those say they plan to buy one when they do come out. There is no single car that has that kind of interest in it at the dealer. It will be a HUGE seller. I hope to pick one up myself!!

They're planning on making only 180,000.

Mach1Matt · 11-17-2003, 09:54 AM

Hah, just like they planned on making only around 7k Mach1s right? Don't kid yourself. They'll make as many as they think they can sell. Ford is in business to make money, just like any other company.

chuckspeed · 11-17-2003, 10:08 AM

Original predictions were for *about* 100K of the '65 Mustang; they built over 3X that when the dust finally settled. Had to use two plants to make it happen - one in Dearborn, and one in San Jose.

If Ford *gets* the whole heritage thing - they'll build to 90% of demand. This is what keeps Corvette values up.

Jester · 11-17-2003, 11:42 AM

Glad I got my Mach! Don't know if I like.........

redwolfstang · 11-17-2003, 11:47 AM

it's a nice looking stang and I would love to buy it.

Wait about 6 months after it has been on the market and everyone will have one

I am glad that I bought the mach 1. I would be looking forward to what kind of special edition mustang they are going to do.

I wouldn't want to get a basic v6, GT or even a cobra.

bring on the boss or shelby edition

Evil_Merlin · 11-17-2003, 12:04 PM

I very much like it.

It looks like a Mustang.

Now I just wanna know what kind of powerplant it has in it...

I just have to pay off the 2001 GT for 18 more months and one of these nice new ones is mine.

TX MACH 1 · 11-17-2003, 12:09 PM

judging from the source, I'll with until the Detroit Auto Show when the '05 will be shown to the public for the 1st time.

pic above is from here, nothing clear yet.

MorrisvilleMach · 11-17-2003, 12:15 PM

If it looks like that picture, Ford better prep to build alot of these. They will sell like crazy.

I'll hope I'll be there if weather be good

get some pics of it.

Coil99 · 11-17-2003, 01:37 PM

Hmmm...I kind of like it. It looks a little different than the other pictures I've seen of it.

ttown · 11-17-2003, 01:41 PM

That's one sweet ride, if your a retro fan how could you not like it?
The mustang lives on for another decade at least. I'm glad I got the Mach though since they will be all over the place.

But when my Mach's paid off we'll see what I buy, like others have said bring on the "Boss" or Shelby. If they continue with the Mach they need to put the 73 type hood on this new car IMO.

Let's see GTO

or the Mustang.....GM's falling way behind if you ask me. Mopar is going to have to pick up the slack they can design hot rods!

blazinsteed · 11-17-2003, 01:44 PM

THAT IS ONE HOT MUSTANG

More like they will sell as many as they can make. I don't think they have production capacity much past 200,000.

MF508 · 11-17-2003, 01:59 PM

If thats a true picture what happened to the hood vents and
side vents on the 2005 mustang that was at the shows???

It looks kinda plain with just a smooth hood and no side scoops??

Will have to wait and see i guess for the real thing.

I would tend to agree, esp. if they put in the 3 valve 4.6. They wouldn't stop putting that engine in the F150 to make more Mustangs.

In 1987 they stopped putting the new 5.0 in the Tbirds so they would have enough of the new engine for the Mustang but when it comes to the F150 it won't happen.

I a few years to wait and then I can have pick of the litter

Just hope they don't put out all the models the same year. I think that's why the Mach get so overlooked since the Cobra came out at the same time. Quite a few want the HP, I wanted both HP and looks and it's the best decision I've made.:THUMBSUP:

"Judging from the source"? I've said for over a year that the 2005 Mustang would look like this! Remember these?

The base engine in the F-150 is a 2V 4.6. they can put all the 3v 4.6's they want in the new mustang. :p

Basically I like it. I can always get some Vintage 45s to replace the wheels on it, if they look like the picture.

I believe the hood and side vents were shelved for the "cleaner" look. At least that is what I heard/read someplace.

bryano · 11-17-2003, 03:24 PM

I don't need no stuck on side scoops - but it's gotta have some sort of hood scoop/intake or at least more sculpting.
This is a nice looking rendition - on the conservative side, tho.
I'd probably buy one with the right engine. But - they better not put out that Maverick-styled interior - God-awful.
How about more PICS?
