  • rounded chrome top that sticks up 3/4 of an inch when the doors are unlocked // flush with door panel when doors are locked. hope this helps
  • Tough call--- if there are any of the OEM Michelin XGT tires that layed in a warehouse they would be close to being dry rotted.

    Since the OEM tires were Michelin Pilot's prior to them being call Pilot tires that would be my choice for OE…
  • The car that is no longer for sale-- 5 speed w/ 23k miles located in Belton, MO? Found the car in AutoTrader.

    Don't give up your search-- in the price range you are looking in you will eventually find a car. The Fox body style cars ar…
  • Thank you for confirming the tangerine color and that I have not gone totally crazy-- that is the article I remember.
  • Welcome-- those are beautiful cars. 5 speeds are extremely hard to find. I remember the first time I saw a 7 UP car I thought the factory accidentally put on the GT turbine wheels instead of the standard LX 10 hole wheels.
  • I also remember seeing a picture of an orange (not red) feature car in a magazine around 91-92. From what I remember it had the chrome pony wheels, white top/interior. About 3 years ago I scoured the internet and magazines to see if I could find a…
  • Will do, just got back into town and will get some pics posted this week.

    Sorry for the delay.
  • Let me know if you need some more pics. I currently have the rear spoiler off my car and can send you some pics of the mounting holes & 3rd brake light if needed.
  • Try cleaning the Mass Air Flow Sensor. It is a very easy job. The sensor may have some dirt that is preventing the sensor from getting an accurate read on the air temperature going into the engine. It is part of the the big black air intake tube…
  • Check your inline fuse & power supply connection to the unit. Use a test light to see if you are getting power to the unit.

    The inline fuse should be located near the changer in the trunk or near where the power supply was tapped to…
  • That is perfect reasoning to add another car to the garage.....

    The logic of adding a 2nd car to "save" a few bucks on insurance works for me. in Insurance Comment by Roughneck September 2005
  • There are several email addresses listed at www.gmpdiecast.com (the company president is listed as <!-- e --><a href="mailto:tlong@gmpdiecast.com">tlong@gmpdiecast.com</a><…
  • Welcome....


    Wow! releasing two liens will be a challenge. Have you checked with the state title office and had them run the VIN # on the car to see who has the liens placed on the car? That would get you started down the long ro…

  • I take it you have a Red 92 Feature car?
  • Excellent--- a good parts guy is hard to find.

    Glad to hear he was able to help you out. Mark has helped me out several times without sending me to the poor house. My wife doesn't understand all the money I have "saved" on extra part…
  • Dean-

    I have had no luck finding an A/C setup like yours. :?: I checked out sspmustang.org thinking that the police cars may have had a heavy duty cooling system. I have found nothing that matches your system. Sorry I couldn't help …
  • There are decent aftermarket tops for the fox bodied 5.0's. Just make sure you are not getting one with a plastic back window. From what I remember the top shop had 3-4 different grades of top for this car.

    A sign of a good shop is if…
  • Wow-- that A/C compressor is putting out some super cold air-

    I do like the idea of routing the cold A/C line to the front around the fan shroud where the is some air movement. It probably helps a great deal in not picking up the exhau…
  • Great looking car-- what a great place to enjoy a beautiful looking conv't. Wow- the interior looks exceptional


    Just curious is that your A/C line routed to the front of the fan shroud / radiator?
  • Yes I agree that this site has helped the preservation of the Feature cars. Mr. Jones deserves all of the credit for this wonderful site. What a great tool for keeping these cars alive and running.

    I am hoping that if anyone out there…
  • Most Mustangs develop problems with the upper and lower ball joints & tie rod ends at around 40-80k miles. The first sign is inner wear on your tires. Replacing these parts has made a huge difference in the steering play. Total cost of replac…
  • If you try everything and nothing else will work.....try a rag soaked with a little Carburator cleaner. I do not recommend this unless you have an old top that is on its last leg. I experimented on the deep stains where the top linkage rubs and …
