I haven't seen this before and apologize if it is a repost. It was a great day touring this place with John Bailey to see his car on the floor. Saw many other forum members cars there that day as well. :thumbsup

Cheers

Cannot wait to travel across Canada to see the plant. Great little teaser. PS ordering soon, just a little glitch on interior of 68 Heritage edition. I would have preferred leather interior like previous Heritage's instead of this Alcantara stuff. Hopefully Ford has some common sense and sees my point, but time will tell. This is my Dream car and intended to drive everywhere, but the up keep and constant cleaning of the Alcantara interior would prevent that. BTW have near 79,000 miles on my 06 Tungsten no stripe car. Awesome video Thx

I have had this same conversation to no avail, have been told "NO LEATHER" - it is not available on the '68 Heritage Edition.
Spent quite a bit of time trying to convince them that this needs to be.
Sad to see this stance from Ford.
Same goes for the definition stripe between the blue and orange colors.
Seems that designers and/or bean counters are locked and loaded, sorry but I don't understand at $600+k for a car, why cheap it out?
End of rant.

Yes, Spirit, I also talked to no avail again on Friday, stating I will buy my Dream car but will not drive it much, Hinted at a GTR ( Has 2 Black Editions or a new ZR1, had a Z06, for a daily driver. Yes I am putting the pressure on, as my decision must be made soon. Gonna take the Heritage but will not be too happy, as Dust is everywhere in Canada. Not like a city environment.
