Press reports has it the Ford Motor Co is to build factory RHD Euro Mustangs and have them on the world market by 2014.
Good on Ford.. hope they can keep it affordable .. but at least they try.

Pity Holden can't follow suit.. with either the Camaro or more realistic in terms of a tremendous segment hole filler... something needed by them.. the Chevy/ GMC Express Van.. with its sure footed, strong boat pulling larger capacity 4.3 ltr V6 & 5.3lt V8 minimum.. its got a huge market for campers, delivery, cargo, crew or airport vans etc etc..
Why is it so hard for GM .. to .. STILL..make a centrally equipped dash and easy RH or LH configurations in their standard designs..??

I'd bet money it won't happen.

Or if it does, it'll be $130,000.

.. don't know anymore Chris.. they need a hot flagship FPV car... as the Falcon becomes obsolete and the imported Mondeo takes center stage.. .. as Ford Australia turns into a net importer .. The Mustang even in short numbers could be a ticket for the Bathurst win they've been needing...

They'd have to change the rules to let a Mustang race at Bathurst. AFAIK, V8 Supercars is a series for 4 door sedans.

With the car of the future design i would guess that exceptions would be made to keep the series alive as a v8 mondeo would not make much sense
