Question on rarity of a TWF with no A/C?
Anyone every heard of a TWF with no A/C? My 3,400 miles car doesn't have A/C and from everything I can tell it never came with it. I have never ran into a regular 93 5.0 Mustang without A/C so I am thinking this was possibly a one off car.
Anyone know of a way to tell if there were any others produced without A/C? When I bought it a year ago I was confused when I looked under the hood and I was like "something isn't right" but I couldn't put my finger on it. It all made sense when I looked at the HVAC controls and there is no setting for A/C.

It was on craigslist and I just happened to see the ad as soon as it came out and went to look at it on lunch and bought it on the spot. The family who owned it moved to Florida from Boston with no job and had no idea what the hell they had.
The background:
Car was stolen brand new from a Ford dealership when it was brand new and the thieves stole the wheels, seats and the stereo system. It was recovered and first sold/titled in 1996 with 256 miles to the guy who owned it from 96 to the month before I bought it. The Mustang sat from 2000 until November 2007 and didn't move. The guy who owned it for 11 years lost his job and garage and thus sold it to his friend who put in a new battery, drained the gas and got it running. This guy moves to Florida with no job and that is where I came in.
The seats are perfect and correct 93 convertible seats and the only issue is that the pony is missing from the headrests. I had looked for a while for a mint set of correct white ponies but the problem I have is that most of what is out there is used and it is difficult to put a set of 50k mile rims on a car with 3k miles. I finally gave up and bought a brand new set of Motorsport Chrome Ponies which for me are a much more attractive wheel combo for a car that is already very white.
The only thing left is the radio and I have just left a circa 1996 tape deck and polk speakers in the car. It sounds nice and I am still running into the problem of finding a stock radio that is nice enough for the car. I have bought a full 93 stereo set up but just have not installed it becuause it just isn't as almost perfect as the rest of the car.
I am now left with something that is almost too nice and low mile to drive around in and every mile I put on decreases the value. I have came close to start tearing it apart and putting in a 8 point cage w/frame connectors, 5 spd tremec, 3:73's, full exhaust, doing vavle springs & roller rockers and an S-trim. It would make a beautiful mid 12 second car to drive around in but I would be messing up a nice stock car. Problem is I am not the stock Mustang type of guy.
It has been sitting in the garage now for a over a year and I think I am just going to sell it here shortly and free up some money for a new Mustang. It is doing me no good sitting in the garage and only driving around the neighborhood to keep the tires from flat spotting.
Bringing an old thread back after I was doing a search. My '92 feature is exactly like what you said you would order. It's a factory a/c delete, 5 speed, cassette with graphic equalizer, and optional 3.08 rear gear. Not sure how many out there are like this but I'm gonna say not many. I guess the original selling dealer installed an aftermarket a/c that I have since removed and put back to a/c delete. I bought the hvac controls for an a/c delete car off e-bay and will be installing that at some time. The factory foam that seals the box and the firewall was punctured through for the evaporator. Hopefully I can repair it.
I got a Marti report to confirm all of this. It didn't break down the details of how many are like mine. Wish I knew the production numbers of these cars with options and how my car ranks in options compared to the total number built.
I removed everything so far but the evaporator from the dash. I removed the condenser, but I don't remember any marks on the brackets. But my radiator core support had been replaced, so not sure how it would have looked from the factory. Yeah and I have no buck tag either (boy would I love to have it). But my next project is to pull the evaporator and heater core. What was your experience on doing that? Where did you get your heater core replacement? And where did you find a non a/c foam seal? Any info on how to and what not to do would be greatly appreciated.
