Outside of horsepower, what's the one thing that most owners love about Camaros that were all but unique to the Camaro (& Firebird) for well over a decade???
Now, for those of you who are holding out, Ford steps up it's campaign to rob more disgruntled F-body owners. The Mustang will have a T-top option in the near future. It will most likely be an outside builder doing the job (just like in the old days), but is likely to eventially move in-house.
I asked about this some time ago, and got a pretty shallow, non-comittal answer. Now it seems like it's a certainty.
Ford Mustangs had T-top options from the T-top heydays in the mid 1970s all the way up till the facelifted Fox Mustang of 1987 (though it was a very rare option in later years)
My guess, expect it as an option this fall.
Other Ford news:
* Ford will be deciding soon on replacing the Town Car with a streched version of the chassis used for the Five Hundred. They evidently have OK'ed a rebodied AWD version of the Five Hundred for Lincoln. The LS will be repositioned as a sports sedan, and will likely continue till the end of the decade.
*Crown Vic, & Town Car will get an appearence upgrade later this year.
*Apparently, Falcon won't be coming to the US afterall.
*Word also that Cougar will be coming back. No word on if it will be based on the Mustang or yet another FWD chassis.
