LOL, dangerous for Stern to make a hot rod themed game . . . everyone may realize how expensive these NIB pinball machines are when compared to some of these classic muscle cars and say screw the pinball machines and get me a 67 Mustang coupe or something.
O-din himself is already asking why he has the MM and all we are doing is looking at pictures. Ha!
I thought about this seerieusly today and if they wanted to make it happen on time they could (especially since Mr. Stern likes Fords wiring), but could it possibly be a repurpose of another pin or maybe Star Trek and Metallica are ready to go and this is the next project. Time will tell.
Quoted from TigerLaw:get me a 67 Mustang coupe or something.
Fastback please.

If it helps to lower the NIB pricing on pinball machines, I say bring it on!
I'll say it again, I'm really impressed and so happy there are so many Mustangers on here!
I've got three right now, a '68 GT/CS, '69 GT Fastback, and a '69 Mach 1 that I've owned for over 20 years. My first car was a '71 six-banger, 3 speed coupe that I had to sell to buy the Mach. I'd give anything to have that car back. It didn't have a single option, but man, I loved that car!!
I've been a Mustang lover since I was born...it's in my DNA I think. I had a '69 Mach 1 for many years and just sold it a few years ago. Had lots of fun with it, but I would rather put my spare time/money into pins at this point.
I have said many times that I would love to see a Mustang pin where you can collect various important models from through the years, just like Corvette. Dream theme for sure.
I'm honestly surprised Stern never went for the The Fast and the Furious license. I'm guessing it would be pretty involved getting the rights to use all the different cars though.

Here's my '71, it needs some work, thinking of selling, how much is "anything" exactly?? 
Started life as a Red on Red with black top 6 cylinder, became a Red with black interior with white top 8 cylinder. Top needs replacement, will go back to black and would like some red highlights on interior.

Quoted from jlm33:There are Mustang / Corvette lovers around, but not many!
True, but I have seen Corvettes and Mustangs for sale in Europe. I believe the current Corvette ZR1 is distributed throughout Europe.

Quoted from jlm33:If Stern is really looking for export, I am not sure a Mustang pin would sell well overseas. There are Mustang / Corvette lovers around, but not many!
I just think it was a mis type that got republished in every media.
Neither of the 2 official Ford press releases say anything about pinball, only videogames.

Maybe they are looking for an "expert".
Quoted from flashburn:JJP will make the 50th anniversary pin in time for their 60th anniversary.

Ford has sold the Mustang all around the world, Asia, Australia, Central America, Europe, South America. There will be lots of merchandise available for the 50th Anniversary. Ford has licensed computer/video games before, with Mustang themes. A pin would be great, maybe it will cost less than a new 50th Anniversary Pony Car.
If stern did make it now we've got a variety of pins from movie themed, music, sport, comic book, video/arcade licensed, ect.
But finally another car pin if its true the last time we had a car themed on was grand pix/ NASCAR/ dale jr/Harley Davidson 1,2 and 3
If JJ to produce it won't ship till the 60th anniversary. It ties into the stern Facebook question: What is your favorite car.
Quoted from kwiKimart:I could see Stern doing a Mustang pin.
Find the Gary Stern interview (somewhere on pinside) where he's asked if Stern will ever do a Mustang car-themed pin and he says NO.
Quoted from KrustyBurger:Shelby & the SVT team represent the 'best of the best' Mustangs!
I have to agree with that. I have a '96 Mystic SVT Cobra, '01 SVT Cobra, and an '08 Shelby GT500.
Quoted from ctozzi:Here's my girl (Shelby GT500) that I sold last year.

This very thought has crossed my mind. I've been looking at what games I own, what games I plan on picking up, etc., and keep wondering why I'm not buying a sweet Mustang or Challenger... Just as fun, and my wife can only give me grief for one thing instead of 10.
I have been thinking of selling my 73 Mustang Mach 1 and putting money in the pin fund. It is great and I have had several differnt Mustangs but never seem to have time for it anymore. Here is a link to a few pictures.

We'll I was going to buy an AC/DC Premium. But instead I used part of the funds for that to put a down payment on this bad boy yesterday.
Welcome...."THE GREEN MACHINE"
I'm smiles from ear to ear over it. I've been waiting over 10 years to buy another Mustang. My first car when I was 16 was a 1968 Mustang V8/289. And my second car was a 1987 Mustang LX Hatchback. It was only 4 Cylinders..but it sure was purdy in it's day.

Wow you called this 8 months ago! Well done... this has been a very tight lipped development.
Quoted from KrustyBurger:I just finished reading an article in USA Today about the upcoming all-new Ford Mustang to commemorate the car's 50th anniversary. Also in this article, there was reference to pinball machines being made to celebrate as well. ["Ford said today that 50 companies will sell special products such as jackets, shirts, watches and even pinball machines to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Mustang."]
Does this mean Stern or JJP may be producing these? If so, for general public consumption or simply a few executives? As a proud Mustang owner, I certainly wouldn't mind one of these for my own, just like the previous B/W Corvette themed machine. Group thoughts?

Thanks rad, dkpinball & luvthatapex2! I guess getting one lead out of thousands right doesn't feel so bad now! -ha 
It is confirmed by Stern themselves btw. https://www.facebook.com/sternpinball/posts/10152053227419244
It's definitely a nice change of pace from all the movie/music based pins. I can't wait to see what kind of game they come up with to go with this theme.

Good job calling this a long time ago and not being a dbag saying something like "GUYS Stern is gonna make a non comic/band/movie pin this year"
