RE: FORD press release New stang
damn... i cant wait... any more specific time, as i checked speed channel and the show is goen on all day so i cant record it. Closer to 6pm or 8? Whatever it is, its gonna be sick. I will be kinna depressed if its the bullitt cuz that means that it will be marked up like hell and i wont be able to afford it. My guess, with Carroll Shelby on hand: GT350

RE: FORD press release New stang
Major yawn! The money went to a good cause but a 318 horse convertible - big deal! If you missed the announcement VIN 001 was auctioned and the others willl be Hertz rentals.
I got these from another forum that I belong to. The pics were taken at the auction by a member of the VMF. fd
