IT'S HERE! Collecting My New FORD MUSTANG DARK HORSE

It's finally time to collect my brand new Ford Mustang DARK HORSE! The new beast has arrived in the US, so let's get from The Shmuseum across the pond to Pat Milliken Ford Detroit to pull the covers back. The new 'Stormtrooper' Shmeemobile is ready to rock and roll, let's go!

After some epic times around the USA with my Shelby GT500 that has since joined my collection in the UK, the new 7th generation Mustang has had my attention since it was introduced. However, this time around there's a new model in town, the Dark Horse. Featuring a Coyote naturally aspirated 5.0 V8 that makes 500hp (20 up from the standard GT), and crucially the optional Tremec 6 speed manual gearbox, this thing is a dying breed but a recipe for fun.

I placed the order for the new Dark Horse at Pat Milliken Ford Detroit having spoken many times previously with Kevin and the team - interestingly as the number 1 delivery dealer for Ford GTs in the world. There has been a whole lot to learn in terms of registration, payment, insurance, tags etc, but we've got there and it's all ready to go, go, go.

As with the other cars I have previously brought in other countries; my SLS AMG Black Series, Shelby GT500 and Zenvo TSR-S, I have personally used the services of Steve and the team at Currency Solutions for the payment facilitation to ensure it landed in time. You can find out more about this here: https://www.currencysolutions.co.uk/shmee150-currency-solutions-international-car-transactions

After the payment is set, we're on a flight over to Chicago, to collect a rental car and drive from Illinois via Indiana over to Michigan ahead of collection day. While certainly not the easiest way to go about it, this is certainly kicking off the adventure well, ahead of some mega plans over the immediate month or two, and thinking further afield.

With a growing Ford collection, the Dark Horse joins my international 'garage' of the Ford GT, Shelby GT500, Focus RS Heritage Edition, and the long-term load Transit Custom MS-RT and recent arrival of a Mach-E GT. However, what makes it unique in the modern world is to offer the combination of a manual gearbox with an NA V8 - in fact I'm not even sure there's another one out there like it. Thanks goes to Pat Milliken for all their help with this process:

After collection from Pat Milliken, next up is loading the car to transport it over for PPF installation, and in steps Truker. A special thanks to the Truker team for their patience and help, no doubt they will be responsible for moving many of the Shmeemobiles around the US.
