so depending on pricing i may order a 2023 F150 when the order banks open up. i really like the atlas blue with the black accent package, and you can get leather with it in an XLT

In all seriousness, I hope you get what you want quickly. I hear there are some delays.

yea there are, ford isn't even accepting 2022 orders anymore. If i order a 2023, i dont really care if it takes 6-8 months to come in as long as it has what i want. Ford has been removing stuff like sirius radio, nav, stuff like that to keep pumping out 22s. No word if they will do that on the 2023s

A Fox Body came up for sale on the local FB page. I personally know 5 of the last 6 owners. He has it listed as a 91, and I told him it's a 90. Rather than fix the listing, he just says "could be". LOL, I've answered more questions about it than he has.

EDIT: In fact, the pic this guy posted of it is sitting in front of my Buddy's house that was two owners ago.

The parts person I usually see, at the same dealership, is very nice and helpful. Never had an issue. Maybe smart *** was just having a bad day.
Part is already purchased and waiting at the dealer near my kids house and I'll pick it up on the way.

Yea its possible, I have had in the past, customer call up give me a part number then come back and say you sold me the wrong part and raise a big stink. So now I make sure I notate it every single time on the invoice if they give me the number. I always like to double check part numbers in that situation

Have you ever thought about buying the house next door, cutting down the trees, renting the house, and building another garage for mustangs in that houses backyard?

Renting out the house can make this transaction profitable.

I wish I could afford it, lol. It would go for over 400K right now. I don't even want to compute the payment on that.
