Need correct seats for '93 Yellow Feature Car
Hi folks,
I used to own a Ford dealership up until 1995. One of the last cars I purchased was a 1993 Yellow Mustang Feature Car. I have been storing it since. It has 2,000 miles on it. It is mint. Here is my problem. Being the genius I was back in '93 I replaced the factory seats with some Recaros. I then put the original seats in the Recaro boxes and put them in storage. Well my storage unit was broken into and they ( the thief ) stole the original seats with the pony on the headrest. I now want to make this car right because, like I said before the car is mint and has been in my garage since 1993. I remember the drivers seat was power. It would be a shame if I can't find some replacements!! I would like to personally choke the thief to death for this crime! It really ticks me off! Any help would be appreciated! Dennis P.S. The seats are black.

<!-- e --><a href="mailto:denohew@oconnorbraman.net">denohew@oconnorbraman.net</a><!-- e --> P.S. It has every option available in '93 including a cd player ( which I did not replace!) and even a engine block heater. I ordered it myself from my own dealership & made damn sure it was fully loaded. It is a five speed. It has exactally 2,299 miles on it. Damn thing still smells new!!!!!!!!!!! I am pissed! I can still see yellow numbers that the factory must have marked on the headlights.
VIN# 1FACP44E7PF173341 Build date 5/93 I am going to have a drink now!

I agree with TMI. I saw them at the show in Carlisle. They actually left me a card in my car to stop by their tent. Smart marketing tactic, look for the cars with bad leather like mine and have them stop by! Well I did stop by and they said that they can make the seats in leather. I have a 92 so it would be more of a custom job although they said they already had made some and at the time may have had some in stock. The cost was $700 and that was all seats. I actually took my car to a local upholstery shop and they quoted me $600 just to fix my drivers seat! For another $100 I can get the whole thing and being white, they would match! Even the shops said that TMI does a nice job and they can not compete with their prices. Here is a link from Late Model Resto:

Also if you need to replace the foam, like mine (it's getting soft), check out the site for the foam. Also cheaper to get theirs then have my local shop try to shape some from scratch.
Good luck!
Did you work for Ford Motor Co.? You got me all excited when you first posted " original leather " replacements for the Feature cars. Then the let down post! Being in the business for a LONG time, I think it is a one in a million chance that some dealer has original leather for these "rare" Mustangs.( it's all about the headrests ) Would be worth a "mint" if a dealer did have these original part #'s. I am not even sure Ford even offered these leather parts for the Feature Cars. I cannot find them on my original Ford parts microfish for '93. Definately no "Ponys" on the headrest parts. After holding on to this car for so many years I can't help but wonder, how many are left with, let's just say with under 5,000 miles? Hell, I have only once, changed the oil in my car & no, there is no sludge build up ( no need to argue that point )! I am not dogging you, jkupka. Don't get me wrong. I think you are an asset here! Get your big brain out and come up with some original parts for these cars for all the "comrades" out there! Yes I have had a few "vodkas" tonight! Anyway Yellow & Triple White are the new "pink"! I sold 5 Yellow's and 2 White's. Only one Red. Also 6, yes 6, '89 SSC White Saleen's. This is in a town of only 4,500 people. Built many of custom "Stangs" that 'ol Steve just wishes he could have built! All LX trunk models. Anybody have one of those "mint" to trade for my Feature Car? I am just venting! Need more Vodka!

No I didn't work for FORD. I have a a 93 Triple White with 18K miles and it hasn't seen pavement since 96. I blew the tranny drag racing it. I have been trying to get us (you) some parts directly through Ford's main database using a buddy of mine. He has said 5 years ago the fox car parts were almost gone from the shelves. The Limited Edt's had extra parts manufactured but only a small number. So, far I have found zero of anything sitting on ford shelves. I bought around $5,000 worth of parts but I haven't had a chance to sell any of it as I work abroad. In May I will list some on Ebay as I will be back then for awhile.
