Let me add just a little more "senior" perspective .... Mid may I will be driving to Chicago - Lake shore drive to pick up Rt. 66. Then off to Santa Monica. North up 101 to the bay area. East to Lake Tahoe, picking up US 50, continuing east back to S. Indiana (three or so weeks). Top down...
Here's another perspective from another 70 yr old car enthusiast. I've owned a number of performance cars over the decades (none as radical as your '55). My decision to buy a '26 Ecoboost convertable in Carbonized gray ... easy to look at, easy to drive, reliable .... how often will I be...
After 4 decades of buying new cars (38), my advice on colors .... doesn't matter what color, as long as YOU like it. (who cares what anyone else thinks??) When you walk into your garage every morning, you don't see the engine or suspension, you SEE the color. Outside first, then inside. If...
Good luck .. I started looking for a 2025 model in May. It HAD to be Carbonized gray and Space gray with specific options .... nearest car in Tampa. Long story short, I ended up with a 2026 custom order for EXACTLY what I wanted. Yeah probably paid a little more, but, every morning when I...
I looked at the pics of your project car and garage, and it seems to me that you are an enthusiast, performance oriented, and knowledgeable. Just buy the car you spec'd .......
Update .... My 2026 EcoBoost convertable, Premium +, Order was confirmed on July 14, Scheduled for Oct 6, In production Oct 10, Built Oct 13 .... and is now awaiting shipment, ETA Oct 28 (320 miles)
I have used drive on ramps for decades ...In addition to the directions above, don't use them on any surface that can compress - dirt, grass, gravel - and only use on a level surface
Here is another random and totally uninformed opinion regarding the fate of the "Mustang" .......
It will survive and survive as a performance V-8. The EcoBoost model will go away. The remaining "GT" and variants will be the base model priced in the $75+K range. It will integrate some of the...
You might want to contact your dealer to confirm he actually entered your order. I received confirmations on the both the 2025 and 2026's I orderd within a day of placing the orders
Here's a contrarian view .... It's a DD and you have no garage, no access to convienient hand washing .... you are facing what I'd consider extreme circumstances in trying to keep your Mustang in the "showroom" condition that it was when you got it. The reality will likely be that you can spend...
The 2026 models ARE in production .... my window sticker / Monroney, indicates that the "blend" date is set for next week 10/10 ... my dealer says delivery a week to 10 days later ......
Since the BCM / seam sealer issue is likely resolved, I think that the 2026, 7th Gen models, will likely be...
No intent to discourage you, but, you may want to revisit the 2026 production content since Ford discontinued the panoramic display on Ecoboosts and GT's, UNLESS they were ordered with the premium+ option packages (201A and 401A)
Cool product ...... I'm sure there will be some demand for your visor if you go into production. I also hope that you've given thought to what the potential demand might be beyond this forum, and can you afford to go into production given that the total number of Mustangs made with the...
.... My 2026 Mustang Eco boost premium (201A) convertable was ordered, confirmed and a VIN assigned in mid July. The original production date was then Sept 8th, then pushed out to Sept 22nd. I received an update that the new production date is now Oct. 6th.
Yep, and that's fine with me. My vehicles are either "tools" or "toys" .... whenever it gets here, it will likely go into my garage under a cover until spring. On the positive, I'm thinking that the longer it waits for production, the more time Ford has to correct production issues and...
Here is an edit to my post #4 ..... My 2026 Mustang Eco boost premium (201A) convertable was ordered, confirmed and a VIN assigned in mid July. The original production date was then Sept 8th, then pushed out to Sept 22nd. I received an update that the new production date is now Oct. 6th.
I ordered a 2025 Mustang - EcoBoost premium convertable, on May 23rd. I received an immediate order confirmation. In early July My dealer advised that is was likely that my Mustang would not be built before the model changeover. Shortly afterwards I received a "customer cash incentive" from...
I did received a quote from Granger, it was an attachment to an earlier e-mail that I inadvertantly overlooked. My apologies to Granger and to the forum for suggesting that Grqnger was not responsive to my request for a quote.
Well .... I sent a request for a quote to Zack @Granger 4 days ago. I never got a reply. I heard from two employees at Granger yesterday, one passing me off to the other, but never got a quote (yet?) FWIW
