OttawaBoy69 3 Report post Posted November 3, 2023 Hi boys! Brand new on here and am pretty excited as I just purchased a 1969 Mustang convertible. I’m just wondering if anyone knows what this button is here in the shifter console (auto)? I asked the previous owner but he didn’t know and I’ve done searches but nothing seems to come up. Even other pictures don’t seem to have it. Thanks in advance, steve Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm just in the process of re-doing the interior over the winter as it needs some love. The rest of the car is solid. It just looked like these buttons were factory and not aftermarket but I couldn't find any info on it. I removed the middle console which had the wires all hidden as I'm replacing the carpet co that's why the wires are all exposed currently. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RPM 1,190 Report post Posted November 3, 2023 Passenger ejection seat. At least that's what I'd use it for. Just follow them wars to the prize. Good chance is not connected to anything after all these years. Welcome to the forum Steve, I take it you're from Ottawa. Most of us gezzers like to see pics of other's Mustangs, how about you post up a few, regardless of condition? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OttawaBoy69 3 Report post Posted November 4, 2023 Thanks for welcoming me RPM. Here’s a few pics. The interior needs some work as well as the convertible top. I have all winter to tinker with it 2 RPM and RogerC reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RPM 1,190 Report post Posted November 4, 2023 Looks like real nice work. I do like the hood blackout. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’ve got lots to do over the next 5 months while it is stored in the garage. Will likely have more questions as I’ve never owned anything this old so should be a fun ride regardless. Lots of learning! 1 RPM reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TexasEd 189 Report post Posted November 7, 2023 Nice car. Yeah, going to have to trace that button wires down.
