LA intro?

[Topnotch]

Given that John Clor's book has been pushed to Saturday November 15
and the LA Autoshow Press Days start Tuesday, November 18. My guess is a debut in production form that week. Race version may appear in the Summer with
Multimatic mid season tease.

I assume you are saying Clor's book will have details about the next-gen GT350 in there?

I hope you're right. I wasnt expecting to see it before end of the year.

Your theory makes sense, TN. In fact, reading about John Clor's forthcoming book was one of the reasons I started the "The official 2015 designs that didn't make it" thread...........the book is supposed to offer some, as yet, never seen before designs.

As for the man himself, for those that don't know:

Veteran automotive journalist and author John M. Clor has owned, worked on, raced and written about Fords and Mustangs for nearly three decades - and is a regular columnist for Mustang Enthusiast, Mustang Times and magazines. John has been a respected member of the automotive media since 1989, with his work appearing in a wide range of both consumer and industry publications. Additionally, his marketing communications work for the likes of Ford, General Motors, Mazda and several automotive suppliers has given him comprehensive insight into the auto industry that few can match. Mustang & Ford Trader
A native Detroiter, Clor had paid his journalism dues with a 15-year editing career at The Detroit News before joining the staff of AutoWeek magazine, where he spent more than six years writing road tests and penning auto features as Deputy Managing Editor. John then jumped into the corporate automotive public relations world in 1995, when he became the Communications Manager for the Special Vehicle Team, Ford's high-profile, high performance vehicle group. But it didn't take long for him to get back to his first love - writing about cars - with a three-year stint as Detroit Editor for the Edmunds.com automotive Web site.
John's broad-based automotive knowledge and engaging personality have earned him recurring guest spots on radio and TV, including CBS, CNN, PBS, The History Channel, Tech TV, ABC Radio News, NPR, Michigan Public Radio, WJR, and many other national and local media outlets. On the freelance side, Clor directs his own communications enterprise called "Cars in Context," providing custom automotive writing, editing, research and consulting to a variety of clients, including cable TV's Modern Marvels and the Los Angeles Times.
After returning to Ford and managing its SVT and Shelby GT500 website for more than a half-decade, John has penned and published a hardcover history book titled, The Mustang Dynasty, whose first printing in 2007 had sold out in just 12 weeks.
...
Still active in car clubs as a director of the SVT Owners Association and serving as editor of its critically acclaimed SVT Enthusiast club magazine, John is the proud owner of three '70s-era Mustangs - one of which he still describes as "a long-term project."

Interesting. I didn't know Clor worked for Ford (sounds like some kind of freelance work). Certainly lends some credibility to the theory, if he does have inside knowledge of "marketing communications."

This will make the decision to wait a little less painful if we can get at least a sneak peek in November. By then we should start seeing S550s on the street and no doubt there will be some envy followed by more impatience in waiting for the first hi-po variant.

LA would be a good time to show the GT350. Gives time for the regular Mustangs time to launch and not take away from that excitement. This could also allow for a late model year run much like the ZL1's first year.
