The Ford Mustang gets a whole new outlook with a glass roof option for the 2009 model year. This option comes in response to drivers’ increasing desire for natural light in their cars, particularly as their commutes get longer. It also offers a convenient midpoint for those looking for the view of a convertible with the climate-control and structural integrity of a traditional coupe.
The roof is made of specially-formulated glass that blocks infrared rays, protecting both the car’s occupants and its upholstery. This glass also reduces vehicle cool-down time by 50 percent. The model incorporates a retractable blind that may be used to block the sun and provide privacy.
The new roof will be available as an option on both the V-6 Mustang and Mustang GT beginning in the summer of 2008. This brings the number of roof options available on the Ford Mustang up to three. The model joins the 2008 Mustang Bullitt and 2008 Shelby GT500KR, adding variety to the Mustang stable for its 45-year anniversary. The glass roof option will cost $1,995, or half the cost of the convertible option.
I have owned mine since 1968( my first car )
COMES NOW, THE 21st CENTURY, my wife had to have an '03 GT -- it's nice; its fast; it's very dependable; IT IS STILL NOT A MUSTANG!! It's a Mustang's first cousin however... I have a Crown Victoria and a Vette.
COMES NOW THE O5's. THE MUSTANG LIVES!!! I AM NOW A BELIEVER IN REINCARNATION!! I'M IN LOVE AGAIN. I AM GETTING A GT500!! SUPER SNAKE THAT ORDER, PLEASE!!
MY ONLY COMPLAINT IS YOU CAN'T CUSTOM BUILD LIKE YOU USED TO. I WOULD LOVE TO SAVE ABOUT $10K AND LEAVE OUT A FEW UNWANTED OPTIONS. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE MANUAL WINDOWS -- I HAVE NEVER MET A MANUAL WINDOW MALFUNCTION. I WOUJLD LOVE TO KNOW MY TRUNK IS LIKE A STRONGBOX... IF SOMEONE BREAKS INTO THE CAR, I WOULD LOVE FOR THE TRUNK TO STILL BE SAFE, AND NOT BE ABLE TO BE OPENED W/ A BUTTON. IF IT IS A CONVERTIBLE, THE SAME W/ THE TOP. ARE WE PERCEIVED TO BE SO LAZY BY CAR MAKERS THAT WE MUST HAVE THESE THINGS? ALSO, I AM NOT A FAN OF A THERMOSTAT SYSTEM A/C. HOW ABOUT A MANUAL - ON/OFF, LOW, MED, HIGH? THE SAME GOES FOR THE WIPERS, MULTI-CD CHANGER. AS A CONVERTIBLE LOVER -- WHY ISN'T RAIN RESISTANT FAKE LEATHER AND RUBBER FLOORS AVAILABLE? WHO CARES IF IT RAINS -- LET IT GET WET!! WET IS GOOD -- CARPETING IS JUST GOING TO GET SOGGY AND SMELL/ STAIN, ETC. MY CAR IS MY HOME SOMETIMES. I EAT, SMOKE AND SPILL -- WHY DOES THIS HAVE TO MEAN THE CAR IS SUDDENLY TRASHED?
THERE ARE THOSE WHO WILL BUY A HIGH END CAR LIKE A GT500 SUPER SNAKE AND 10 YEARS LATER IT WILL SMELL LIKE NEW W/ 2100 MILES, NEVER SEE RAIN, ETC.
ME? -- I AM GOING TO LET THE VERY LAST HORSE GET A WORKOUT !! EVERY CHANCE I GET, I'M GOING TO SPIN THE TIRES, SLAM ON THE BRAKES --- I'M GOING TO ENJOY IT TO THE LAST DROP!!! HOW ABOUT A PAINT JOB YOU CAN SIT ON, HAVE SEX ON -- TAKE INTO A PARKING LOT AND IF YOU COME ACROSS AN INCONSIDERATE @!##*!!, YOU WON'T CONSIDER THE PAINT JOB RUINED BECAUSE IT SHINED LIKE GLASS!!
A REAL DRIVER'S CAR.....
ARE YOU HEARING ME FORD???
True "car guys", the ones with gasoline running through their viens would NEVER... say it all together now... EAT, SMOKE AND SPILL IN A CAR!!!!
