mrsuds Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 I'm just wondering if Ford will allow people to sit in the car and try it out for size? I remember going to auto shows and seeing cars I liked, only to find out that the doors were locked. :huh: I personally would find it irritating if the car was behind the velvet ropes, but I guess it would reduce the "drool factor" to the show floor not the inside of the car.

kaylan1521 Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 I plan on taking my paperwork and deposit details with me to the Toronto show. Once there I will talk to someone there and hopefully that will get my butt into the car even if it's behind the ropes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrsuds Posted January 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 How's this! :P After they caught me in it they locked it up. :D That is so wrong on so many different levels. All I get is sniffs of the car and you get to sit in one.!!! :angry: The car looks awesome, but as punishment you have relay any and all info that you have. It looks like it could be the concept car.

Fastbackman Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 This took place at the Mid-America Ford Meet (aka the Shelby Meet) in July. As far as details go, you already know them all. This was the concept car from the NY Auto Show, so yes it had two-tone interior, leather dash, painted stripes, the hood we all liked. I have more pictures of me outside the car, but this is the only one of me in the car. I wasn't in it long before the SVT boys came along and realized they left the car unlocked. I wasn't going to get in or even open it, but another guy opened up the car and was looking around, so after he left, I went and jumped in long enough for a pic. It was great! Here's a pic of me outside the car and another pic of me and the family with it. Sure would be nice if admin would see fit to send me a free poster for sneaking in and getting a pic inside the car. Oh well, it was just a thought. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fastbackman Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 I'm glad I did it too. I didn't regret it then, I don't today, and I never will regret it. Hopefully in another 6-8 months, I'll be sitting in my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fastbackman Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Yes, I have put a deposit on one, and it looks like I might really get it for sticker price. I'm from a small town in Oklahoma about 50 miles southeast of Tulsa. I thought I wanted red with white stripes, but now blue and white or blue and silver are strong contenders as well. We'll just see what they show us in Detroit and decide from there. I sure wish I could go to Detroit, but I have to save the money for the car.

What was the leather dash like? I sure hope they don't cancel that one off of the production version!!! I want the two-tone interior, leather dash, brake light in the spoiler (leaving room for the SHELBY accross the back deck, and the embroidered cobra on the seatbacks, and I'm worried about them all getting nixed!!!!! I'm pretty sure that I want to order an extra set of SHELBY letters to put accross the brow of the hood aswell, like the original. What do you think? KingCobra.

I think a lot of your questions will be answered in the next 2 weeks. Don't forget that the auto show starts on Jan. 8th, that's 4 days away.

Fastbackman Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Yes, I would like the two-tone interior if it is offered. The leather dash was nice but on the passenger side of the car, the leather was already starting to peel. I just figured it was thrown together pretty quick on the concept and would surely be better on the production car, assuming the leather doesn't get the axe.

KingCobra Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 FOUR DAYS AND COUNTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't take the pressure!!!!! Yes I'm sure any flaws you saw Fastbackman, were due to the fact that the car was meant to show well, not wear well. How soon will news from the show become public, or be offered here??? Will our dealers call us with the news??? Someone pour me a drink here!!!!! KingCobra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wifey puts them in a shot of scotch, 10 minutes later, I'm happy. I like the new handle "KingCobra M/M". It has that sort of obsessive/complusive type of feel to it. :P Did I mention 2 more days...
