Additional Comments: Car was given to my mother as a birthday present from my father when I was 9. It was ordered with air conditioning but arrived without and had to be done by the dealer.The car was built with Lucas fog lights so we got no recall notice. The Santa Fe,NM dealer sold 3 of the GT/CS that we knew of: ours, our mechanics brother(dark green,white stripe,black vinyl top,6 cyl.auto trans.),and a red,blk stripe,blk.vinyl,6cyl.auto trans.Dad later found out that he could have gotten many more options than he did (larger engine,4 spd.,GT pkg. etc.)and many times he cussed himself and the salesman.After going through two teenage boys and being moms daily driver until 1992,its probably better that he got what he did. Mom gave my wife and I the car earlier this year after much thought,debate,and discussion with my dad and siblings.My older brother lives in NH and didnt want to see the car suffer a rusty demise and admitted that he had enjoyed the car but knew I had always loved the car.My younger sister only drove the car a few times and couldnt figure out why no one ever passed her on the freeway until she looked down at the speedometer.She had no desire for the car and said the attraction must be a "guy thing". So despite the fact that Im spoiled rotten and this makes five mustangs for me,I felt obligated to give this very special car a special home. Thank you so much for giving us a place to share these unique Mustangs with others. I know that many years ago, I gave my mom a card to fill out for the GT/CS Registry but I dont know if she did anything with it. We have all the original paperwork on the car including the old loan papers,owners manual,warranty cards, etc. Please feel free to contact us if we can be of assistance. I would be curious to know if mom ever filled out and returned the registry info.
