More and More 650s

[KABStang]

S650s are still rare in Eastern Canada. Attended a Mustang show at a Ford dealer in New Brunswick over the weekend. Approximately 110 Mustangs there - only 4 S650s - a Dark Horse, two GT hard tops, and my GT convertible.

I’m shocked that everywhere else they are a hard find. Just at my work we have 4 (including mine) in the parking lot. I have only seen 1 other gt and no dark horses (other than one in the showroom)

I still haven't seen a ton of these in SoCal. You'd think for sure you would in this area. But there just aren't too many of them cruising around, which I'm OK with.

 

[young at heart]

I’ve only seen a couple other than mine.

The difference isn’t that noticeable going down the road.

I'll be in your backyard next week. We are taking a cruise that stops in Halifax. Unfortunately, no Stang. We are meeting family for lunch and who knows what else. Gotta get me some Fish (Halibut) & Chips.

Enjoy, weather forecast for next week is looking good. Do you stop in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island? I am originally from Nova Scotia, but have settled in Prince Edward Island. Lots to see and do in the Halifax area this time of the year.

I ordered the 25 gt vert and have yet to see any 650's my area. I've seen plenty of new stingrays though.

Every time I go for a drive, I hope to catch a few on the road. I don't see many around me, though. I know they are out there, but I see one maybe every two to three days.

I have yet to see a 650 in the wild. I've even seen a Cybertruck (gosh, those things are ugly, I almost puked when I saw one) once, but I've yet to see the new mustang being driven on the roads. Plenty of 550s and earlier, just not much of the new gen.

I think a lot may have to do with the market, not a lot of new cars being bought right now tbh…could be wrong though

Bluember24, The Pavilion’s show is every Saturday. The biggest issue is the heat this time of the year. Usually smaller crowd but still fun to walk around and check out the rides.

I know! I try to stop by every Saturday, but yeah the heat is killer. I have lived right around the corner from it for about 10 years now. I will definitely be there this weekend if you happen to be there as well! Would be cool to see a CS out and about! I haven't seen one yet!

Unfortunately, no PEI. Just St. John and Halifax. I was born in Toronto and Mom moved us near to NYC, after my father died in '58. Still a Canadian, through and through. Glenn

Not much different here in Tampa Florida I've seen 5 and that's counting a red one I've seen twice One hard top gt and the rest were eb. At the local shows/meets I'm the only one.

I’ll try to make it that way next Sat. Looking forward to the cooler weather next weekend. It’s looking like the temps are going be in the low 100’s.

I think it's just that not a lot of Mustangs are being bought right now.

Let's face it, the Mustang isn't a practical car. It's a "Fun" car. For two-three years, people have been forced to keep up their older cars because new ones were not available, and then in the last two years, cars have just gotten unaffordable to many. That means instead of having three cars (Family car, Mustang, Alternate winter vehicle), they might pare down to two. Saves on Insurance, saves on car payments, etc. Look at the sales numbers. Mustang is down across the board. Young kids can't afford a Mustang GT, or really even a new EcoBoost.

A lot of kids these days don't even like driving. They never saw driving as "freedom" like Gen X and before did. Millennials are split, but a significant number of Gen Z seems to see cars as an evil of society, not a benefit. Add in college debt and high housing costs and you see a problem. Fun cars just are not a priority.

Yet these kids will spend thousands and thousands of $$ "modding" their corollas/hyundais etc.?
