BlueOval Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Anyone else heard this rumor? I heard it from an uncomfirmed source at a local Ford dealership. He *sounded* like he knew what he was talking about but one never knows... Oh, the title should read "... on 2009 Ford Mustang GT". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildosvt Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 With the rest of the car getting new/updated sheet metal, I HIGHLY! doubt that will happen. Its being re-engineered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree, with the forthcoming redesign, I would doubt they would use the GT500 nose on updated sheet metal, IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Three Cobras Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 I suspect the word 'redesigned' implies a lot more than is likely to happen. I don't doubt the skin will be freshened up with some different creases and maybe side scoops. Doubt there will be much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LR 01 Cobra Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 The next Mustang will look nothing like the current car! Just a rumor :rolleyes: Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildosvt Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 The next Mustang will look nothing like the current car! Just a rumor :rolleyes: Tim Thats not a rumor. The interior will be totally redone as well. Its a fact and not my opinion. I was told to keep this car in mind when thinking about the 09. Its not "it" but gives the idea. http://bradbarnett.net/mustangs/concept/s1...2004mustang.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Three Cobras Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 Time will tell. 'All New' has been used for so long it's lost its meaning. I still bet it'll be mostly cosmetic. That showcar / concept doesn't look too different from the 2005 and newer cars to me - just sheet metal (sheet palstic?) updates. I bet the chasis remains unchanged.

I doubt we should take (the roofline, specifically) this too literally, but I believe the design elements are all there. I like it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is alot of talk about IRS showing up on the 09. Which is fine by me. I did NOT want it on the Shelby. Sure I enjoy the ride (04 Term) but I hate the fact I have to baby it.

If the redesigned Mustang looks like that, I'm definitely buying one!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildthing530000 Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 i also had read somewhere that the gt500 nose was going to the GT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owenkelley Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 The new Motor Trend has an article about the new Boss Mustang and the Bullitt, in that article they claim that the next generation Mustang will look very similar to the '07 GT500 in the front. I would hope they would not do this too. It will make it that much easier for people to slap on GT500 emblems, stripes and snakes. One of the most appealing things about the GT500 is the fact that the nose sets it apart from the other Mustangs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
