My local dealership said that Ford is not taking any orders till March or April on the convertibles. I saw on a previous post that someone has been able to place an order. Has anyone seen information that I can bring into the dealership to prove to them that my name can go down? I live in a small community, so there are no other dealerships I can go to. Also, I saw that production is starting in January. Is this confirmed? I am at a loss becuase of the story I am getting from the dealership.

I am eager to replace my 94 convertible. I have been hanging on to my car waiting for the release of the 05, and now have 162,000 miles on it. Every week it seems as though something else is wrong with it. Unlike many, I will not hesitate to buy a first model year stang. This one has been very good to me until I hit 130,000.

Anyone seen a 2005 in the Sonic Blue yet? If so, how does it look? I can't find any pics yet. If you have, please post a link

Thanks,

Rob

Hey guys,

Just to let you know, im from toronto canada. Beginning of december, I put down $1000.00
on a silver ragtop!! I trust this dealership. Very reputable. He has put the order in even though pricing not available. If im not satisfied with price, he gives back deposit. It's all in who you know i guess.
See ya in Detroit for the unveiling!!!!!

I went to order a convertible last week, with the interior upgrade (brushed aluminum panels on dash) and the dealer called today. THey are not building any with this dash now??? said supplier problem??? Ford has advertised this car now for 2 years.. with auto shows and such.. and now that cant even build it with the dash they have showed and which is the only dash pictured in the brochure, (the basic black dash is at the in spec page small pic)
THat plain dash is ugly! Ford comes out with a winning car and then sets a blow back by not even offering what is has showed for 2 years!
anyway. Im waiting on my order.. maybe till next year.. that interior is ugly with out the dash.. Its the small details that sometimes make the car what it is..

It's not the brushed aluminum that's the problem, it's the multi-color display. The orders starting in February on GT's ONLY will still be able to get the 18G option...the sixes won't have it available. I am guessing that if they put it in every car that wanted it...they wouldn't have enough for the converts.
