New 2005 Mustang GT Commercials - a must see

[Don_Lightfoot]

Another new one I saw for the first time is the new Tang in front of an old Drive-In Movie Screen. The '05 is sationery, but the screen has flashes and movie clips from all the old 60's and 70's Mustangs.

A local dealer is going the extra mile on some of these. He has two at present, one is all Black which he plans to keep for demo drives. He's approached my paint and resto guy to have some retro stripes put on the cars as they come in. He's thinking of late 60's Mach 1 stripes for some and 1970 Boss stripes for others. Should be a money maker for him and look sharp as well.

I hate to say it, but these cars are cool.

LOL! I feel the same way. Yesterday, I was at the assembly plant in Michigan and got to watch some of the production.

In general, I have never paid much attention to the Fords, but brand name aside, it is a cool looking ride.

Ford is gonna make a lot of money on these cars. They really are pretty cool. And there's no camaro in site. Chevy has dropped the ball.

Very cool commercials. I sold an 05 Mustang tonight and the guy kept asking me if I had seen the Steve McQueen one. I have now!

My cousin owns a 2004 Mustang MACH 1. After driving two 2005's (auto & 5spd) his opinion was that his 32 valve DOHC modular engine 04' was faster and the 04' sitting position was more comfortable.....He reports that the 32 Valve engine is not in the 05'lineup....and that the 06' SVT engine will be a 400HP supercharged affair?????......I understand that my comments have NOTHING to do with the new popular styling..

It's a 24 valve engine 300hp/320ft lb t.

I gotta tell you, I've sat in the 2005 Mustang and found it superior to the 2004 (and prior models) in every way. It's longer, better finished and just overall more comfortable. I think they will sell as many of these GTs as they can screw together. Already Roush has come out with his upgrade of the car....gotta give Ford credit for hanging in there with the pony car.

It's really the fact that the Mustang is the only rwd V8 game in town.

Jeff take this into consideration. Even when the Mustang was NOT the only RWD game in town it SPANKED the Camaro. Check out these staggering statistics.

Production figures 2002
Mustang-142,404 Camaro-42,098

Production figures 2001
Mustang-155,162 Camaro-29,009

Production figures 2000
Mustang-202,990 Camaro-45,417

I bet that Ford sells more Mustangs than it has in years with the new design. I said in a different thread that never in my career have I seen so much excitement over a new car. This car is bringing people out of the woodwork to get a look at and maybe even purchase this car. This car is not like the T-bird. That was a niche vehicle that catered to a few. This is a car that everybody can identify with and most of all afford. You can get a loaded GT with leather and all for like $25,900 sticker. Where are you going to find a brand new, good looking, 300hp, full warranty car for that price??? Chevy needs to get on the ball, I think Ford has hit a home run here.

It's 1964 all over again. History repeats itself. I guess that means we can expect a new Camaro in 1967...

One can only hope...from GMInsideNews:

Camaro/Chevelle- Chevy has an all new sporty coupe set to debut in 2007 on the Zeta platform. This car is very similar to the 2007 GTO, with the exception of tighter styling. At this point the assumption is that this car will be the all new Camaro. There is however an outside rumor that this car may be hastily redesigned and given a more appropriate name such as Chevelle. Then GM would design a Camaro on an all new midsized RWD platform loosely based on a lengthened Kappa platform. This platform (rumored to be called "Beta") was first previewed in the Holden Torana TT36 concept shown at the 04 Sydney International Auto Show. This would slightly delay a Camaro to possibly 2008. Either way, we will keep you updated!
