    what interior pieces are leather

    The rears seats haven't come in leather from the factory since around 1997. Changing them from leather was one of many "cost cutting" steps the bean counters did to the Mustang around then. Of course, the leather seating option price didn't drop a single penny either.

    last Mustang rolled out of Dearborn today

    Color of last Mustang??? CNN reports, both on-line and on the air, that the last Mustang was in "crimson red". However, the photo on the Ford website press release shows a "torch red" Mustang. Does anyone know for sure??? :confused:

    04 SIRIUS RADIO INFO???

    It is unclear if your friend bought a SIRIUS satellite receiver (a dealer installed option) or not. If he has already bought the equipment, then he doesn't have to again. If he hasn't already bought the equipment, then he does have to buy it first. The '04 Mach radios have only "SIRIUS...

    Altering coupe seats for vert

    You might want to check out one of the after-market leather suppliers. You might be able to buy some nice front seats in "cheap" vinyl or cloth, and then upgrade the new front seats and stock rears, with the same matching after-market leather.

    Official Tremec 3650 Issues Thread

    Same here. My '03 had the 1st to 2nd grind problem when I first got it. Now, with >6K miles on it, it doesn't do it anymore (and hasn't for some time).

    Altering coupe seats for vert

    Gosh, it would be a lot of work. The 'vert has a much different rear seat. The 'vert has a one piece back which doesn't fold, and the entire seat is narrower due to the thicker side panels.

    Pre-Ordering....

    You can negotiate the price when ordering just like you can negotiate the price on a car already on the lot. When you both agree on the price, the dealer will write it up and you both sign it. When the 2005 Mustangs get closer to production, you can even call Ford (1-800-392-3673) and ask...

    Anyone know much about gauge clusters?

    I just compared the reading of my Autometer gauges to the digital odometer-test readout. The speedometer gauge and the digital readout, and they differ by just 0.6 MPH. The tachometer gauge and the digital readout are a bit worse, they differ by about 150 RPM. If I get ambitious someday...

    Insturment Cluster Swap

    I have the autometer gauge cluster, and I just compared the reading of its gauges to the digital odometer-test readout. The speedometer gauge and the digital readout, and they differ by just 0.6 MPH. The tachometer gauge and the digital readout are a bit worse, they differ by about 150...

    Stripes or no?

    Well, IMHO, I don't think you will see stripes on the S197 based GT for about 4 or 5 years. Adding stripes has always been the fall-back when a car design is old and stale. For example, when the SN95 was 10 years old, Ford put dual stripes down the middle, and called it "special". I am not...

    Stripes or no?

    From the Preliminary Draft Ordering Guide, only the V6 with the Ext Sport Appearance Package, will get stripes and those will be along the lower sides. Black, White, or Pearl Gold are the colors.

    TURN OFF THE POSI

    By either name, the differential can't be simply turned off. However, the Traction Control can be turned off. You can do it with a special module like that from Pony Express. This module allows TC to be enabled when you start the car in order to allow the ABS/TC system to pass testing...

    Anyone know much about gauge clusters?

    I did the Autometer swap too, and I must have had better luck than you. Mine works and looks just great. I am quite pleased with it. The odometer mileage is stored in a separate little circuit board which plugs into the larger instrument cluster circuit board. As long as you keep your...

    2005 will have IRS option

    Team Mustang had mentioned, some time ago, that it was their plan to offer the IRS on the SN95 GT's as an option. Then the marketing people got a hold of it, and came up with a high price and low sales projections, which killed the plan. It would not surprise me that these same marketing...

    2005 will have IRS option

    Ford has already mentioned there will be a special edition with a sticker around $50K. Far, from the price of a regular Mustang. Well, at least I hope it is. :D

    Did all Mustangs from 94 + w/ power locks come with Keyless Entry Remotes?

    In '96, all of the GT upgrades (interior, fogs, spoiler, etc) were put into option package #3. If one ordered a GT without option package #3, it was essentially just like the '95 GTS (GT Stripped). It is easy to ID these, by the GT having the base V6 style interior.

    Did all Mustangs from 94 + w/ power locks come with Keyless Entry Remotes?

    At least back in 1995, there was the "Keyless Entry System" option, and the "Illuminated Entry System" option too.

    Did all Mustangs from 94 + w/ power locks come with Keyless Entry Remotes?

    I know my '95, had the mustang horse on the "keybob", not "Ford".
