OK, Folks - Yall (yes, we really say that in TX) have really made me feel good with your compliments. Remember, FORD built it-all I did was pick all the stuff I wanted...Incidentally, I think Ghosty is shy only 3 options ...1) heated windshield, 2) Sirius, 3) 4 wheel drive. Yes, I ordered it just like I wanted it from Bill Utter Ford in Denton. The '72 Mach 1 in my library also came from Bill Utter Ford, back in November of 1971. My dad and Bill have been friends FOREVER (they are both in their late 80's!!) Anyway, to a few answers:
GM - Thanks for telling me I had the first '07 owner post. I've been hoping I would get that honor.
F. Eddie - I don't know.
BigD - I gotta say - This v8 is A-W-E-S-O-M-E!! I romped on it today just a little from a dead stop. No, I did not STOMP it-the truck only has 660 miles on it. Man, that low, low 1st gear WOW! Ghosty jumped (and I did too!), and that V8 was revved past 4000 before I could get my foot out of the gas. Now, don't be all that impressed-with that low of a first gear, I doubt I was going over 20-25 mph, but wow-you should have heard that V8 starting to BREATHE!!!!
Got1b - Charcoal gray leather. The seats have an off white/tan insert about 1 foot wide in the middle of each seat cushion and back as well. Really nice.
Clint - I'll take some interior pics and let yall know when I get 'em posted in my library. Got to go to Georgia on Thursday, so I probably will not get 'em taken or posted till Sunday night. I guess Ghosty will be broke in after that trip.
FMarano - No sir, no sliding rear window. When I ordered it in January, I was not aware that it would not slide, and when I found it out, I did not feel I could back out of the deal with my dad's buddy Mr. Bill. I'm HOPING BIG TIME that that will be my first mod..........SOON!!
and finally....
Mr. Grimes - Yeah, dude, let's get together. Do you have any errands to run that will bring you over to the northwest side of Houston?? If not, I'll probably be heading to Galveston in a few weeks. We'll talk.
Thanks again to everybody for the good vibes!!
