Watkins Glen Edition, factory complete with hideous centerline wheels and GTS tail light covers...

I live right in rochester and I saw that posted too. I'm going to ask my uncle what was done because he was the service manager at the dealership that did the package back then. It looks like just a sticker package though.

Haha well thats pretty weird. I bought my 88 back in 2001 and it had the same stickers. I am the 3rd owner of the car but from what I have found (yrs ago) was there was some type of open track events and if you participated you would get the sticker. Nothing was "upgraded" on mine aside from green (poly) sway bar bushings which I assumed the previous owner installed. I thought I had the only car with the sticker. I removed it shortly after I bought the car. Not gonna thread jack but my car is also up for sale. P.M. if interested.

Hi- Actually, I purchased mine in 1989 from the dealer with 10 miles on the odometer. Mine stated that it was a Watkins Glen Special Edition Pace Car. It had a factory sunroof- even though that year's regular mustang did not have sunroofs. I was also told there were 500 of them made- whether that was BS from the dealer or not, I do not know. I was 19 at the time- so I probably would have believed anything.

You do know that the thread your referencing lived and died 6 years ago, right?

Factory sunroofs on Mustangs ended in 1993
