I wonder if it will be the Mach 1 SUV or whatever they were thinking about.

It could be the new Baby Bronco they were talking about recently. Also, April will be the 55th anniversary of the release of the first Mustang. Maybe they're announcing the GT500 for an April release date.

Anything but the GT500 will be disappointing. Ford Performance really wants to have it be overshadowed by the C8 Corvette at NAIAS 2019 don't they...

"Ford will be auctioning the Mustang “JDRF” Bullitt and begin raffle sales to win a one-off Kona Blue Mustang Bullitt"???? Hhhhmmmmm...I couldn't find the confused/scratching my head emoji...but isn't the iconic green kinda what makes it a Bullitt? If it's blue, is it really still a Bullitt??

They also offer it in black so nothing is sacred any more. :)

I happen to be in Detroit one of those days. Anyone know of decent parking near Mustang Alley?

Anyone else see the small bulge on the top of the door? Is that a seam from maybe a targa top or T-top?
