I did write fender didn't I.. Sorry about that. I did mean the bumper though.

Why would you prefer the FMX? From what I have heard the C4 shifts cleaner is lighter and can handle the same power output. I need to decide which to use myself. The FMX may have a longer tailshaft than the C4. I happen to have both in my basement including the driveshafts and 3rd member from each though the fmx was paired with a 9 inch. I could do a few measurements if you like.

I'm pretty sure that the grande did not come with a unique fender extension. Not even as a dealer option... I thought that too, but now that these cars are seeming to be coming out of hiding, I keep finding photos of them with these pieces. Mine does not have them, and by the looks of the front bumper never did. *shrug*

Hey guys. First off thanks Wade, it has been over 10 years trying to find stuff already. Pak, Thats an idea, I was considering just running a pinstripe down that body line until I saw a photo of what that grande stripe looks like and realized that it needs to be specific. I know a guy who is damn good with striping by hand, I just need a pattern for him to follow. I think I will contact 69grandecj directly, I just didn't want to make a nuisance of myself my first week on the forum. This place seems really lax in comparison to some of the others I have found that rip your head off for asking anything they may have hinted at in a previous post. Trinitys, I know it came with a vinyl roof from three separate sources. First the previous owner told me he took it off when he bought the car for his daughter and repainted it. Second the car itself while painted decently in grabber blue (which by the way, how would that look with a vinyl roof? I am still partial to it even though I like the original colour too (winter blue)) shows some signs on the C pillars near the windows that there was something else there. Third, now I cannot remember the actual name, but about 6 years back Mustang Monthly had a small two paragraph piece dropping a mailing address that you could send a copy of your VIN and interior placard to and they would return a printout of what the vehicle rolled off the line with and that printout had vinyl roof written on it. I need to relocate this to verify (I put it someplace safe) but I suspect it was a 999 report or something similar. Frankly, I think the vinyl roof looks hot so even if the car did not come with one, I would very likely put one on anyway. I have never been a huge fan of one tone and multiple colours on a coupe just looks funny. By the way, thanks for the link. I have known for awhile that I will not find the exact fabric, but if I can find a photo of it, I can custom make something close enough to make myself happy. Who knows, maybe even suede. I just know that I love the look of the med blue vinyl seats and find basic black rather dull in comparison. Like I said the car is not original and was a 302 car so originality, not quite necessary.. I want to personalize it a bit, and I want everything I do to it be period correct. Anything modern, hidden, anything visible to look like late 60s to mid 70s. Most importantly, I want it to look like what it is, not a regular coupe.

Hello all, I am new here so I apologize if I ask something already answered. So glad I found this site. Finding information on this car has not been easy, surprisingly considering how much can be found on Boss, GT and Mach cars. I am the proud owner of a completely disassembled 69 Mustang Grande (that I have owned since I was 16) and I was hoping some of you would be able to help me with some direction. Fortunately or unfortunately the car has been repainted prior to my ownership, the interior is rather beat and the original block has also disappeared. This gives me alot more freedom of movement since I will not feel too bad about updates and minor modifications. Still I would very much like to stick to the grande spirit. After researching, I have found that my car originally came with medium blue houndstooth interior and a vinyl roof. Two things I feel will set the car apart from its deluxe coupe brethren. However, All I have been able to find reproduction is a dark blue or Sky blue comfortweave interior from TMI and I doubt it is the same thing. They state that is the proper interior for the grande but the only houndstooth designs I can find are of Gm vintage and those obviously do not match. Any idea where I can find what I am looking for, or does someone at least have a photo of what this pattern looks like? I took my back seat to decent upholsterer and he told me the way in which the material was put on is inconsistent with factory methods, so perhaps the material I have been searching for these past 10 years is wrong.. Awesome. As for the vinyl roof, does anyone carry the proper patterned style? I am actually pretty excited about putting on a black roof, I just want to make sure it looks right. Obviously, I would like to put on the matching pinstriping as well. Any idea where I can find the pattern for these stripes? Lastly, approximately 50% of grande photos*I see*of the front of the vehicle, such as the one owned by fellow forum member, 69grandecj have these lower fender extensions very similar to the 68's. I have been unable to locate any information about these pieces including where to locate any. Were they factory original and if so, did they come on all grandes, were they special order or perhaps plant specific? I have been sitting on this project for way too long and looking at the photos of your cars just makes me want to triple my efforts. I just need to know where to go first. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
