Quoted from dmesserly:Where do you find the replacement cars you're putting in your pins? What size is needed?
The large car is made by Maisto 1:24 Scale. The cars are attached using the cars existing mounting holes. Stern says that M3 cars can also be used, but other owners have written that the holes on the M3 cars do not line up. Pre drill and self tapping screws could mount any car.
On the Premium I have, the car model that is on the turntable has been modified by Stern. The doors and hood have been secured shut. Most likely glued shut. The Premium/LE cross ramp blocks airballs from hitting the car.

I was already a fan of Mustang after playing Hooked's game at the Southern-Fried expo, but tonight I played another hour or so at BumperNets in Birmingham AL. I love this game - fast, fun and friendly. Quite a contrast with TWD, which totally turned me off. Mustang isn't John Trudeau's most "interesting" layout, but it sure is fun to shoot. Nice game, congrats to owners of this fine machine.
I love my LE No.466. I love every bit of this machine, including each song. It would be great to be able to load 100 songs and pick from the list. One day soon Stern? Please and thank you!!

If yours is #466 I wonder if that means they have sold 466 LE's. 
What do tournament players think of this game? Seems like long ball times could be an issue, but other than that...?
Today at the TN auction I bid and lost on two Mustang LE at 4650 both sold for just over 4700. I was told the one really sold and was not a buyback.
Transformers LE new in box sold for 4100
Mustang out of the box 3400 and another pro new in box sold for 4100

If I ever find LE #351, I think I have to buy it. 
I'm still undecided if I would rather have the Premium or the LE. I like all the LE's added gameplay features, but I LOVE the look of the Boss artwork on the premium! Grrr...

Reskin the cab and bb and swap out the tl....no problemo. 
You would have a one of a kind game then.
I'd have to make a set like The Hobbit's sideart, being interchangeable and all.
It could be done....
Is there any reason to opt for the LE over the Premium?
Aside from the art, are there any differences? I prefer the look of the Boss Premium as opposed to the LE.

and just think how easy it would be compaired to having to repair a banged up cab then re-skin it. Heck, you wouldn't even get your hands dirty...it's a new game. That would make a great topic, I wonder if anyone has ever taken an LE and re-skinned it to a Premium.
Quoted from Mike_J:Is there any reason to opt for the LE over the Premium?

These are the main differences from the Premium and LE.
LE has shaker motor, powder coated armour, autograph on the playfield, 5 flashers in the back box, and certificate of authenticity. The 3D cabinet art as well.
Do the LE and Premium have the exact same playfield features like the crossover ramp, the spinning car, and whatever else?
I was under the assumption that there were more playfield differences between them than just the artwork and signature.... If not, I see a Boss Premium in my future. There are a lot of '69's all over that thing(I have two '69's currently)!

The playfield artwork features different year Mustangs (between all 3 models), but the playfield features are exactly the same. So far all Premiums and LEs have shared playfield features...it's the pro that is stripped down. Mustang has continued that, but for the first time features different art.
I also hope to have a Boss in the basement someday, though I wouldn't say no to an LE and might consider a pro if a great deal on one pops up. I love the artwork on all three, but the LE cabinet is definitely my least favorite. The pro cab is gorgeous, but I really like the playfield extras on the prem/LEs. Translites are awesome on all 3...no bad choice there. Boss is probably my favorite total package though.

I feel the exact same way. I'd get a pro if it was stupid cheap, would prefer the premium over the LE, but for the right money, I'd be happy with just about any of them!

2 You dog you. 
Quoted from Miguel351:...and a '68.
PICTURES or you aint got.
You've seen this one before I think... It's my survivor car I've had for 23 years. Still has it's factory paint, interior, engine, trans, everything and over 200k miles. I need to rebuild the rear end and the power steering pump, but other than that, she's still got a LOT of life in her!
My other two are in storage. While they're both waiting on me finding a painter who specializes in classics to do a proper job, I need to swap the C4 in the '69 for the correct FMX. That, and I need to buy a house with at least a three car garage so I have room to reassemble them! That time is quickly approaching.....
You posted the 69 before, VERY nice. What colors are the other two? Are you keeping them stock? I PRAY you are.
My other '69(a GT) will be it's factory color of Acapulco Blue, but the '68 GT/CS I'm changing from Lime Gold to Royal Maroon.
The biggest reason I'm changing the color on the CS is because while Lime Gold can be pretty when done right, I've seen VERY few cars where it's done right. Plus, Lime Gold was the most popular color for CS's in '68. I want something different. Also, Royal Maroon is a "'68-'69 only" color that is also a non-metallic. I've seen too many cars with metallic paint where the paint has "self-destructed" because it wasn't mixed or prepped correctly. I'm just going to avoid all of that and probably make it easier on the painter as well, too.
I see, I just hope you don't go with a clear coat and color. Stick with the original enamel and go for the original factory look.
So if ya get in a fender bender and have an enamel paint job what do ya do, paint the whole car because of a banged up fender?
Is this a new call out? The younger voiced woman says 'I have never hated a slow poke!". This happens during the Road Course. I still laugh or smirk when she calls this out.

Pretty much. AE has been outlawed for a LOOONG time now. Probably a couple decades. I had a friend with a GT/CS that had that exact problem. He got t-boned in the passenger door(replaced the door and just straightened out the fender) and had to repaint the whole car because the paint didn't match. It wasn't even close. And it was a Wimbledon White car, not even a metallic color!

Crap....no way would I live in CA. 
I love Minnesota, I just couldn't take the winters. I've got friends and family in Minneapolis, Bemidji, Thief River Falls, Duluth, Slayton, all over the place. I'm usually in the Twin Cities every other year to visit people or to take in a Twins game. Some friends and I went and stayed with some of his cousins in Minneapolis the year they opened Target Field. THAT was a fun trip!

Well next time your in town give me a shout and come over for some beer, pins and pizza. I might even have the Mustang done and we could go cruzin.
I now own the pro featured at the beginning of this thread. It has become the game I play nightly with my 7yr old son. It's his current favorite. I get the impression there aren't many Mustangs in Pinsider's hands, but I really recommend this game. The layout is unique compared to recent stern games.
Seeing the "toilet bowl", I stereotyped the game and assumed it would play like Creature. It doesn't at all and the way the bowl is incorporated into the software is fun. Each time the ball makes a revolution, the engine revs. It's a cool effect. I put a shaker in mine and it's well used. The option to "opt out" of a multi-ball and receive higher scoring if you make the next one is also neat.
I suspect this game will gain popularity over time as more people are exposed to it.

Welcome to the Club. The code update really helped the game come alive, are you planning on modding it? Many don't like it and will never like it just because of the theme, they hate anything Ford. Their loss is our gain.
MN-flipper, the OP did great mods before I got it. He added a great car with a little led dome light. It has speaker lights, backbox led, led police car plus two other cars, custom road signs, tachometer plus customs songs. I added the shaker.
I think a shifter shooter rod handle would look cool. I have considered letting my son pick out a new centerpiece car or two so he can help change it. He loves to "work on pinball with Poppy".

Oh, you got Jim's game, that's a sweet one, he helped me unbox and set up mine. You should do my SHIFT plastic light up, it really looks great.

IMGA0232.JPGI just added under apron flashers on my Pro. Not the wimpy 6 led pads but big honker 15 led pads, 5 of them and WOW does LIGHT UP!! Total cost was about $15. I might go with a bigger pad like a 24 in a couple of places but then I'll have to put a red jell over them because they only come in white and then the clear red apron would lose most of it's color. Moddin the pin is almost as fun as moddin my Mustang car. I'm havin fun.

IMGA0381.JPGI got the LE earlier this year and it's a great addition to my collection. I understand why most hardcore pinheads don't like the "realistic" theme because it's not fantasy or sci fi. I love anything automotive and the gameplay is fast and fun. It gets the most gameplay from friends when they visit, it's an easy game to jump into and it pops visually. The latest update added some nice rules and made the bowl interactive and part of the car upgrade process in the game. I added the Sparky Pinball screen which came with the famous chase scene from Bullitt. I replaced all the lame car toys with some of my own choosing. I'll post some photos soon.
