Wow, would this be cool.

Ford announced Tuesday that, ahead of the Dream Cruise this weekend, it intends to debut a new production vehicle on Thursday. Ford has all sorts of events planned afterward, like its usual Mustang Alley hangout in Ferndale, a parade of current and former Mustang Bullitt models, and a family-friendly area dedicated to SUVs and crossovers.

What interests us most, though, is that new-car announcement.

Given the connection between the Dream Cruise and the Mustang, that seems like the most sensible model to break cover -- Ford will likely save a bigger reveal, such as the new Explorer, for an auto show or standalone event.

So if it's a Mustang, what could it be?

Well, Ford is still working on a hotter version of its Shelby lineup, so a GT500 could very well show up. Motor1 thinks it could be a new Boss 302, which would be pretty, um, boss.

I like to disassemble things.
My sense is that it will be the Cobra Jet that is revealed. Hardly a "production" vehicle but that's what I'm told.

Ford is really struggling to keep people interested. Right now Dodge and Chevy are killing it. With exciting new vehicles.

Well the new Vette C8 looks like a Big Winner as long as they can keep it around $75,000.00.

I'd say it's time for Ford to get off their ass, but their stock is falling like a bitch, new President, no direction for the company, sales fell off a cliff in China, etc... and that's just some of their problems.

Prepare to be disappointed on both accounts.

If the 500 turns out to be a disappointment, I'm looking heavily at that mid engine vette!

Looks like it’ll be the McQueen racing Bullit by Steeda.

A whippled version, 775hp. Suspension, wheels, and driveline tweaks.

300 models production at a price of $21,000.

My friends at Ford have no idea what it is. They have been asking the same thing.

I think the GT500 will still be a major autoshow debut.

I doubt this. Steeda kind of do their own announcements. Plus that is not what I would consider a "production vehicle". That's a aftermarket speed shop modifying a vehicle already produce.

No ideal what Ford will do, but in truth the whole GT500 episode has dragged on for waaaaay to much.People have gotten to the point where they stop caring as Dodge and Chevy actually put high performance variants on the ROAD.

Everyone forget that the Ranger details were just released? My money is on an FX4 version of that.
