The fact that the body isn't changing on the 350s make sense since FP just released two 350 based race cars with the same body. The only thing I find weird is that they are going to be carrying over the 15-17 headlights and taillights. What this tells me is that the 18 facelift may have substantially different headlights & taillights that will require different body panels to accommodate them...which would explain why the 350s will retain the current ones.

As a new 350 owner, this news comes as a bit of relief. I didn't pay an ADM on my 17 so I was more concerned that Ford was going to facelift the 18 350s, making them look better and making me wish I had waited. As it looks now with no changes and Avalanche Gray getting dropped, I'm quite happy that I got my 17 and didn't wait for the 18.

I'm having a hard time believing this is authentic when there are glaring spelling errors like "2018 SHELBY GT350 PROUCT CHANGES". What the heck is a "prouct"? ;)

It's the real deal. Have you never received an official document with spelling or grammatical error? Lord knows I have. I called my guy and he validated and also sent me the .pdf.

I saw a horses mouth one time at a Holiday Inn.... It's a long story. Don't ask. And yes, it was in Mexico.

so, it looks like the Cobra/GT500 won't be coming for quite some time... 2019...seems like an eon away.

Not necessarily... word on the street is that the s650 project got pushed up two years to debut for MY2020... we could see something awesome in late 2018 to early 2019.

The S650 got moved up, not pushed back.

Originally the S550 was supposed to run through 2022, it's EOP was moved to 2020.

Correct.....and that's as in '21MY.

So, we'll have 3 more model years of S550.

Ideally, that'll include a Bullitt for '18.....and a Mach 1 and a GT500/Cobra for '19 & '20MYs

:)

would be nice if Ford would at least release some sort of concept, shortly, for the '19 cobra. Nothing like twiddling thumbs while the zl1 and old poppy hellcat keep being ejaculated from factory doors.

It would be nice, but Ford don't really do Mustang concepts anymore. I guess they could reveal it early, but then everyone would have to endure a long wait for it to be produced.

Right now, I'll just settle for "just" seeing the stock '18MY Ecoboost and GT :D

Sorry to all the ADM paying guys that thought their car would be a rare collectible in the future.
I paid adm because I wanted my car when I wanted it. At the time, that's what the market was. It had nothing to do with what it "might be worth someday". I have only one regret with buying my car and that's that I didn't get an R. That aside I wouldn't change a thing. Hell the dealers here are still getting 5k adm on Tech and Track packs and 20-30k on Rs. If and when the 18s get here (looks to me like they are coming) some will probably have adms as well. That and they are still limited production. Not like you see them everywhere you go.

Hmmm... where did you see that I said it got pushed back?:headbonk:

Unless Ford continues this serious last-minute unveiling as they have done with the 18MY Mustang and the GT, we should see some interesting test mules or camoed 21MY Mustangs running around in late 2019 and early 2020.
