supersnake94 Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 So I went to the 2012 New York International Auto Show today and got to see the 2013 GT500 in person. I guess Ford likes New York because they had the doors unlocked for people to get in and out of the car. Very nice to sit in those Recaros and a shifter with shorter throws. Here are the pictures that I took of the 2013 Now on to the sad news: I know a lot of you guys wanted to see a VIN on this car, but I think due to it being a pre-production car, I looked at the VIN window and it contained no VIN plate on it. I guess we will have to wait until the summer to see it with one. here is a pic of the VIN window with no VIN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueByU Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 I went Sunday. Ford had the Get to have it Green OPEN and the GT500 OPEN. The School Bus Yellow was Locked. By the end of the NYC Show someone will steal something They did last year from the Shelby GT500 Super Snake. <a href="http://s1193.photobucket.com/albums/aa350/BlueByUGT500/2012%20NYC%20Auto/?action=view¤t=2012NYCShow014.jpg" target="_blank"> <img src="http://i1193.photobucket.com/albums/aa350/BlueByUGT500/2012%20NYC%20Auto/2012NYCShow014.jpg" border="0" alt="2012 NYC Auto Show, 2013 GT500"></a> <a href="http://s1193.photobucket.com/albums/aa350/BlueByUGT500/2012%20NYC%20Auto/?action=view¤t=2012NYCShow010.jpg" target="_blank"> <img src="http://i1193.photobucket.com/albums/aa350/BlueByUGT500/2012%20NYC%20Auto/2012NYCShow010.jpg" border="0" alt="2012 NYC Auto Show, 2013 Boss 302"></a> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2011SHELBYGT500CONV Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 I think the reason the hood was locked is the pre-production, if it's the same one they have been showing had a 5.4 engine in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMcGuirk Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 The Red Candy car was also on display at Barrett Jackson Scottsdale in January. Jim Owens was actually giving "pony" rides on the track in parking lot. The car and the color in person was enough for me to plan to get one. I will wait for the hype to die down and go see Manny @ Gaudin Ford! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will wait for the hype to die down and go see Manny @ Gaudin Ford! Yup I have to agree that was a fun time at Barrett-Jackson. And like others have said, the candy red paint is awesome. And this comes from someone who is not particularly fond of red cars. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

svt13 Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 Wait so if those are 12's disguised as 13's does that mean the real 13 coupe won't have illuminated door sills? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
