They look kinda comfy. Plus I have a soft spot for red interiors.

I wonder if that car is from Ohio. There used to be one just like that running around here.

Oh, if only I could swing it right now. Vent windows and everything. Unfortunately I'm saving for a new Mustang...

'15? I've got a '12. The new ones are nice. More Fox Thunderbird like than Fox Mustang like.

Rod, i was waiting for you to say something...lol  I noticed that too.  Very odd, because its a Heritage Deluxe interior with the fake wood dash and Heritage emblem on the right.  Never seen a 83 Heritage without them.  You could order so many odd combos on these cars, who knows.....  even more strange, did you notice the apparent lack of power seat controls, and the after market ejection seat toggle switch on the console?  I have seen Turbo Coupes with the sport seats with no power seats, never seen a Heritage with deluxe interior or for that matter any Heritage without at least a Driver Power Seat.

I'm guessing the coach lights were swapped out during a repaint? Makes sense if he's going for the performance look, which by the looks of the huge tach on the steering column, he is. :D  The coach lamps were standard on a Heritage so doubt if it could be ordered w/o them.

Whoever ordered it didn't prefer a power drivers seat, an optional item.

I prefer the stock look. :hick:

All the pans on these cars rust if they see snow even if only a few times.
