Easy answer: buy an 05+ GT. They are suppose to hold a car seat just fine.

Dude, let your mom, drive your car! I mean how good of a driver is she. If she loves the car, she will baby it! Its a win-win situation. You still get to work on the Stang, plus if you sell it its possible you will always find your self thinking about the car you sold; Stangs tend to do that to people of all generations, your son will eventually outgrow the use of a car seat;very fast. Then you could switch vehicles later on in life. Just my opinion. It will be a great present to give to your son later on down the road, kids that grow up with dads working on muscle machines appreciate the car better and are less likely to be one those "My dad owns a dealership, I have a beamer, wanna race, I can always get another," type kids, Oh by the way CONGRATULATIONS on the baby boy, Have fun!!!!

My son and daughter baby seats fit just fine, I never had a problem with a baby seats fitting in a mustang !

I pick up my mustang when my son was a few months old , now he is five and tells me "daddy , when can I go drag racing in the Mustang " !

Besides , if I made it strapped in a 1970 Formula 400 with my dad driving , my kids can make it in a much safer 04 mustang !

Uh baby seats easily fit in the back of a Mustang. I have not had any problems with this and I had to use a car seat for several years. There are even LATCH fasteners for the seats.

With the rear facing seat it fit just fine , on the pass side though , and by the time my little girl was born my son got to look at the back of my head , room for eveybody !

I`m 5'11 so like you the baby seat could not go behind me , but the babymomma is 5 foot even , so she had to deal with the seat moved up a little when we drove my car !

Ive never had a problem with fitting a car seat in any mustang. My 2 boys have been riding in Mustangs since birth and still do today and they are now 8 and 5yrs old. Just put the seat in it, there is plenty of room.
