50th Anniversary Mustang Arrived

[RR2334]

A 50th Anniversary Mustang arrived at the Ford Dealer in my home town just north of Toronto in Canada. First 2015 I really took a look at up close. Love the fast back style, hood seams a little long, wheels are rather plain. I am a little disapointed with the fit of the body panels. Gaps are not even and the trunk (at the rear where it goes up to make a spoiler) does not line up with the fender on the left side. The lower plastic panel in between the left rear tire and behind the drivers door is popped out slightly and appears to want to stay that way. The hood gaps to the fenders are not the same and the gap at the front of the hood to the bumper cover is 3 times the size of the gap of the hood to fenders. I believe they are also being made in Kona Blue, and that would be my colour of choice. Probably can't read the number by it is 858 of 1964. Asked if it was for sales and the sales guy said no, the owner of the dealership is keeping this one.

Don't get me wrong, I love the car, but I would have thought the attention to detail would have been higher.

PS, that is the owners Factory Five Corbra, also not for sale.

Do you think the gaps on your boss are any better?? ;D

A little better. The ones on this car really stood out to me, and being that this is a global car, thought they would have been better than my car, especially lining up the trunk to the rear panel.

Nice looking car but bummer on the QC on the assembly.

FYI I'm moving this to the S550 general forum.

Sorry, have to get use to using that forum.

Wow, a 2015 Mustang and an imitition Cobra roped off to keep the public back.

They'd probably lock the showroom doors if a Ford GT was on display.

LMAO. When Grant and I were at the LA Auto Show last month they had a new Miata out on the floor and it was locked! Come on it's a Miata not a Ferrari.

Funny you say that, the dealership owner brought his 2006 GT home about 4 weeks ago, with only 1500 kms on it.
