I don't have my '67 any more. I had to sell her when we got married & moved in '04.

We just got a '08 for my wife. 2008 V6 base model in Vista Blue, which my wife is very happy with (her first new car) even though no bells & whistles.

Where is a good site to purchase parts for?
I only knew for classic Stangs, and I have no idea about the late models.
I'm thinking about getting a street scene grill with fog lights kit for a starter.

I would appreciate your help.

Brenspeed is a great place for the S197's, American Muscle also is great.

Congrats on the new Stang purchase! Love the color choice BTW They have a V6 forum here as well that is full of friendly people willing to help you out. American Muscle is a good site as I've ordered from them a few times. Also Brenspeed, but I don't know what they have for the 6s Good luck on modding

Thank you for all the information. I appreciate it.
My wife doesn't like the street scene. She wants the V6 Pony grill. I guess I would go for the OEM.

What's the difference between V6 front grill & GT's?

Where Can I find pics of V6's?
I've checked the "Post your pic of..." thread but not much V6's there.

Well the standard V6 grille doesn't have any foglights, whereas the GT's does. The optional v6 grille (maybe its standard at this point, I'm not sure) has much smaller foglights with the pony in a "corral" like the 99-2004 Mustangs. The optional v6 grille looks VERY similar to the 65 grille.

Any difference in size of the grill it self?
I saw some grill specified for GT or V6, and my guess is that GT and V6 grills don't interchange.

Isn't Ford putting fogs on all 6'ers now? Saw a commercial awhile back that said the pony package was now standard equipment.

J I have my stock GT grill in a box if you want it for a cheap price, you'll need the fogs though, and possibly wiring.

The V6 grill also has a larger honeycomb design which means fewer/larger holes.
