1968 Deluxe Interior Upgrade

[Mosesatm]

While running some numbers to see if I want to install a deluxe interior in my car I hit a few issues.
- Did the deluxe interior include the lower door grilles? Speakers? Lights?
- Did it include the metal steering wheel pad insert? Does anyone reproduce the insert?
- Does anyone reproduce the rear quarter trim caps (see photo)?

Thanks

On the quarter trim cabs in the picture.. I know I purchased some a couple of years ago along with all the door rubber from a company I believe was Metro or similarly named? Sorry I am traveling or I would go dig through receipts and give you the full name.

Have you tried like a Rock auto or NPD perhaps?

I do my own version of a Deluxe interior:
Yes, I believe the consoles are part of the Deluxe package. I have installed both and in one GT/CS just the lower console. Same for the Door Grills, but I didn't install the speakers or lights ( I used speaker kick panels for better sound quality, and the under-dash courtesy lights are fine).
I also used the Standard Armrests because I think the Deluxe ones are too big & bulky.
The woodgrain dash panels are complimented with the woodgrain steering wheel (metal) insert. You can also get the woodgrain steering wheel for many $$$.
And headrests- I like headrests.
I haven't seen the rear quarter trim caps in years.
I also installed a custom GT/CS emblem above the glove box.
Here are some photos of my attempts to jazz up the interior without going too far astray:

The lower console and deluxe seat belts are not part of the deluxe interior. The caps and metal wheel insert are tough to find.

The caps have a Cougar part number associated with them. They were used on all 1967-68 XR7 models as well as Deluxe Mustang interiors. We are currently out of stock on one or the other sides. Spendy little buggers, about $35 per side used.
Also included would be a faux leather wrapped shifter handle for deluxe interiors.

Can you convert your black camera case a/c vents, switch, center vent to woodgrain easily or do you have to find original ones to restore? Thanks, Wallace

Thank you Neil. Are these metal backed or just the stickers? Wallace

 

[franklinair]

I'm not sure. Call them and ask.

They are not........

In my photos above, I show a Standard armrest installed on the Deluxe door panel. The Deluxe armrests seem too bulky for me.
Also, others show '69 Headrests installed (on '69 seatbacks)

Cesar,
I can certainly use one of your extra passenger side ones!! I have two for the driver side.

Thanks

Sounds good. I’ll ship them tomorrow.
