    I fully agree with that but I was surprised when I looked at the registration statistics I have to date. Although, they may not be an accurate assessment of all feature cars though since only about 5% of all feature cars have regis…
  • Hi Kim,

    Thanks for the post. I would like to start planning something but I haven't had any idea of where to start. I had thought about contacting MCA to see if we could do something with them. But, I like the idea of Carlisle, too. Do y…
  • I don't have that information myself. I bet that it is something Terry McCoy would know since he has all the build statistics for the feature cars
  • (Quote) I don't think there was anything for 1993. In 1992, that's where the graphic equalizer was installed.
  • You would need to use some photo editing software to reduce the size. A lot of times that type of software comes with a digital camera. If you reduce to 800 x 600 pxels it should be less than 50k. If you want, you can send the originals to me and I …
  • I just found some time to look into this. The "Mustang 5.0 Technical Reference and Performance Handbook" lists the following:

    Engine: 5.0L V8; Transmission: manual; Standard Rear Axle: 2.73:1; Optional Rear Axle: 3.08:1
    Engine: 5.0…
  • (Quote) I'm in Connecticut. I have also been thinking of a get together and maybe even something like a ride in my local area. I know of at least a few local owners. It would be great just to get out for a short drive. I hope to be starting a new…
  • I don't know if every option was available on feature cars but from information I have gathered from the registry I know the following:

    Code: 8 - Radio Premium AM/FM. Clock Cassette - 79 cars registered
    Code: 5 - Radio Premium AM/…
  • Hi Gary, welcome to the site. Sorry it took so long to post. I have been very busy.

    I'm very jealous of the '06 GT! good luck with it and the sale of the '92.

    They are pretty close to my original mats. Mine have a black pony for my white car. Like yours, there is no Ford part number in the form F3ZZ-xxxxxxxxx.

    Thanks for the pics.

    Regarding head rests, I have only see the black stitching on black but I agree that the yellow stitching must look better.
  • It seems unlikely that the inside would wear and not the outside. Do you have a picture?

    I have a couple of sets of yellow mats; although neither are original and are Ford "Service Parts." One set is from the people selling the ones ment…
  • Hi Robert,

    Thanks for posting your story. Sounds like you have some nice finds. That is a steal for the 4 banger notch. I have thought about getting one of those for a commuter. I am kind or tired of my Explorer. It's great in the…

  • That's always a tough question.

    But, in case you missed it, this site has a bunch of information cull…
  • Chris, check your email. I sent you some pictures. I don't know about the spoiler mounting as I can't open my trunk right now. My battery is out of the car for the winter.

    I hope they help.
  • OEM or is aftermarket OK? I have some potential sources listed in the FAQ.

    No problem Greg. I'm glad you could get some use out of this forum. I saw your white car on ebay. I was sad that you might be getting out of these cars altogether until you just reminded us that you have the yellow one.

  • Looks like this is really close or already available. I spotted one on ebay which prompted me to check back with the
  • Good tip on the A/C. That's something my father told me years ago, too. In fact, given that 95% of my driving is with the top down I use the same guideline in the summer and run the A/C occasionally even with the top down just to keep it going.
  • Thanks Tom.

    I hate to admit it but I have still yet to get mine put away. I've just been too busy. I have Friday off so that sounds like a good idea for that day.

    The first few years I had mine, I drove it every few weeks (fo…
  • Hi,

    If you email me your VIN I can see if it was registered by anyone. If you see your VIN listed in the "
  • The link that Sue provided gets you to all of the information that I know on build sheets. My last post in that thread contains a link to a section of my web site where I documented everything I found in my car that concerns build sheets. Note: I ju…
  • Yeah, I don't have any issues with it when I'm not driving it. ;) Time to get it ready for the winter. in Happy Turkey Day.... Comment by TWF_John November 2005
  • Thanks Demetrio. It's good to hear that you are starting to offer them again.

    I have no problem with you posting here especially since you were a topic of discussion. Thanks for doing it responsibly by providing valuable information and …
  • I think most would have been ordered with Preferred Equipment Package 245A (its is mentioned in the dealer literature for the feature package). It included AM/FM Cassette with premium sound. Although, I think any stereo option could have been ordere…

  • I was just reading a do-it-yourself magazine and in the automotive section they had an article on headlight refinishing. Pretty timely. They referenced a product called Headlight Lens Restoration Kit from in Fix for foggy headlight covers? Comment by TWF_John September 2005
  • Hi John,

    Thanks for joining in and providing an update on the diecast car. Many of us have waited a long time for something like it! It looks really good from the pictures on your web page.

  • It's sounds like you are not yet ready to write her off. That's a good sign.

    I know how it is to damage a car you love. My first Mustang (a '91 black LX I had from new) was crunched when I poked the front end out into an intersection whe…
  • Thanks. Keep us informed on how it turns out.
