They should have offered PP with the C/S all along. I would have probably bought one a few years back. Ford does some really strange things with their packages and options, limiting what you can get with what. You'd think if you wanted to spend extra $ to get another option, they'd let you.
I went with the Atlas Blue and the 10 Speed Automatic. I had thought about the manual transmission but decided against it from the standpoint of this convertible will be more of a vehicle to cruise around in. My current sports car, which I have owned since 2005, has a 5 speed Tremec tko 600 manual transmission. Over the years I have spent many of days doing burn outs and all out spirited drives in it. Its a Kirkham Motorsports Cobra with a 427 aluminum Shelby block cubed out to 482 cu in pushing 589 HP at 614 FT LB torque. I'm looking for a change of pace which is why I opted. for the automatic.
Looks good, and yes camp out in the garage!My car arrived yesterday to Victor Ford dealership and I picked it up today. What a beautiful car. WOW!!!!
Got it home just in time before it snows this afternoon. Might just camp out in the garage all day and night. Would it be wrong if I slept out there tonight too??? Can’t wait for some warm weather…..
Beautiful car, congrats. As for camping out in the garage, I've had mine for going on two years and still keep it company in the garage.My car arrived yesterday to Victor Ford dealership and I picked it up today. What a beautiful car. WOW!!!!

Really bums me out that they don't have Atlas Blue available on '22 Mach 1's. My first thought on getting back into Mustangs was this exact version. I'm thinking you kick another car out of the garage and move a La-z-Boy in for a week or two.My car arrived yesterday to Victor Ford dealership and I picked it up today. What a beautiful car. WOW!!!!

Found this '22 Carbonized Gray MT82 base GT with no options sitting on the lot while visiting family just before New Year's. Dealer had it marked down $3500 below sticker and budged another $1000 with a bit of haggling. She had just come off the transport truck and landed in my arms!
Now have out about 1400 miles on her and have been very pleased. Did a break-in oil change at 900 miles and installed a passenger side UPR catch can. Swapped out the factory, tiny spoiler for the gloss black one seen here. Swapped in a Steeda 35 lb clutch assist spring and cue ball shift knob. Added 1" hub-centric, billet spacers for improved stance. Swapped in LED interior lighting. Deleted the noise pipe to clean up the engine bay. Deleted the hydrocarbon trap with its claptrap hardware along with the flow straightening grid to bring the intake back to '18-'21 spec. Basically, all the easy and cheap mods that I found worthwhile.
Now considering 4.09 gears in lieu of my 3.55s and an E70 tune. Eventually a centrifugal blower down the road. The gearing in these newer MT82s is crazy tall!
Been a lurker here since buying the car. Thanks for having me officially as a member!
