I’m surprised the Mustang took so long - must have been fairly special, I presume?

It’s a leap of faith, but you have to negotiate before you order, and get it in writing - and trust the salesperson/dealer to stick to their end of the bargain.

Absolutely! You’re welcome, and glad to help if you ever do go that route.

That’s actually typically what happens when someone ‘orders’ from those brands - they can look across the country and find one that matches your needs. They don’t have long option lists generally, so there aren’t that many possible combinations.

You don’t really need to special-order anything when you only have a few factory options, since whatever options you can choose will be available somewhere in the wild. .

I’ve actually done it 4 times, including 1 for my wife. It *really* depends on what brand you want, and how picky you are.

Yes, most people do - in large part because most dealers *really* want to sell what they have. Plus most people are too impatient to wait 6-8 weeks for an order, and they also have better negotiating leverage in buying off the lot.

Can’t speak for the other teams, but there are plenty of hockey fans who hate the Hawks - aided by the NHLs insistence on including them in every showcase opportunity. It’s much the same reason why people hate the Pens.

I’m partial to the ‘61 Impala SS, but the ‘67 is very nice - love the clean, dechromed look of the ‘67.

Those cars are terrible in an accident. Being thrown clear isn’t a great option either - if you landed on your head, or in traffic, or on something sharp it could easily be the end. My aunt got lucky - she was a passenger, and I think in the back seat, although I’m not sure about the back seat part. 

I have an aunt who was thrown clear out of a convertible in an accident back in the early 60s. Worked out okay for her, but it’s crazy to think about now.

Flat plane crank v8s have some unique characteristics, plus Ferrari.

Yeah - I hadn’t paid that close attention, but I think this is the correct answer here. 

Right- but advertising that it’s a cross-plane crank will disappoint a lot of people, so I thought they might let that fact go a bit more under the radar.

“They loved it when we told them the Voodoo had a flat-plane crank like a Ferrari!”

Oh no - good work on your part. I’m questioning why Ford specifically called it out.

Odd that they call that out but nice work. 

“Then again, if it makes money, who cares?”
