I have returned ... to Mustang!
Hi everyone!
I have just ordered a 2011 Convertible GT and I will surely be looking forward to some fun after a few years of practical sedans....
Back in the early '90s I did have a 5.0 LX hatch that was painted in the worst colour ever - the unmarked cop-car beige. I mean - creamy gross beige. The kind of colour a Fairmont should be.
Why would I buy such a colour? Well - it was used - and discounted way down - purely for the colour. My plan was to repaint her red at some point, but money was tight back then, so it never happened.
Family matters forced the move to sedans (oh I fought against the minivan, trust me) but now it's back to V8 power and the beauty of rear wheel drive.
For what it's worth, when travelling in the states, people would often move out of my way for no apparent reason - until I saw all the unmarked beige 'stangs!
I doubt that will happen with the 'vert

Welcome to the site - love those new 5.0's. I wouldn't have been too concerned with the beige colour of your old LX - bottem line was that one way or another, folks would be seeing your tail lights, whether they were moving over, or getting passed !! ha ha ha ha Fighting the minivan is like trying to bail water in a boat with a big hole punched in the side - you might think you're winning, but eventually you're going down no matter what you do !!! Congratulations on getting your head above water with the new 5.0 lol

Got it Wednesday - in the rain - sigh.
Got a few pics but - they're quick and dirty 'cuz I've just been so busy this week.
Hope to wash her / wax her and get into some nice backdrops to take better pics.
I've never taken a picture of an engine before! Holy cats, it's gorgeous
