Just came back from a quick run to a Dealership in Fremont CA to pick up some touchup paint. On the way out, I ran into the show room to see what's out there and low and behold they had a 2013 Mustang GT on display. The sticker on it was listed with only the MSRP price of $37K. They were kind of busy so no one actually came up to me about it. But for as far as I can tell it was available for sale.
My guess they should be available fairly soon. This dealer isn't considered a large volume selling place, but they aren't the smallest either.
OP: Best of luck finding the beauty you want! Take your time and like others had said visit other dealers to get the best pricing for you.
Sidenote:
The 2013 GT looks pretty damn nice and was making me feel pretty envious. I spent the time comparing the differences and snapped a few photos. Short of possibly highjacking this thread, I'd be happy to post them if the OP et all would be interested. Granted these are camera phone quality shots.

I forgot the exact specs on this model, but it's a 6spd GT w/ Brembos & summer tires, Leather Interior, but didn't have all the premium options. MSRP for it was $37k.
Sorry for the poor quality, camera phone.
Okie dokie, here they are!
Updated Mirrors:
Got a clear shot of the LED for the puddle lights Ford added. It illuminates a pony on the ground. It was too bright inside the show room to see the pony clearly. And the mirrors appear to have heated defrosters.
Updated Headlight Assembly
Clear shot of the updated assembly w/ the LED parking light illuminated
New LED Taillights
LED Parking Lit Rings, w/ seperate LED clusters for signal and brake.
Vented Hood
It's really vented underneath!
GT Front End
GT Rear End
Mysterious Bulbous Interior Rear Quarter Panels
Considerably larger in size compared to 2010-12, though not sure if it's aesthetic or if there's something underneath it.
Steering Wheel Control / Gauges
Map Light Assembly
Vented center piece on the light assembly. Not sure what that's for... Assuming an extra MIC for sync?

The vented hood is the most awesome improvement in my opinion. It looks SO cool!!!
By the way is that Fremont CA? That's super close to where I am. I'm in San Jose
I'm praying to the Lords of acceleration in the next two weeks for a few things to turn out in my favor. When they do I'll be ordering a School Bus Yellow BOSS

That dealer is off of Stevenson Blvd in Fremont next to the Newpark Mall area near where I'm at. Right off of i880. You're totally close by, take the 15 min drive up north and check it out in person. Pictures don't do it justice. I too hope things work in your favor so you can place the order.
Stevens Creek Ford didn't have any in stock? I figure they would have it first before Fremont Ford did.

Without disassembling the taillights, the mounting locations "appear" to be the same/similiar. Though because the angled dip is gone, you'd probably need to replace the 2 piece bumper for the newer updated 1 piece. I personally am eye balling the GT500 Bumper that allows for the dual exhaust outlet.

Several dealers around here have them. Went to the closest and they had 3 GTs and 2 v6. Boy those GTs were sharp and sounded great. I'll probably get one near the end of the year or when the 2014s are due to come out.
