Love the color and I really like the tan interior. My friend had an 85 GT with tan interior. Don't see them often. Nice grab!

If you get a chance could you check to see if you have those clear headlight covers?

Just checking back in after a while. I picked up some NOS dew wipes, NOS door sill plates, and emblems for it. I had started to buy a cover for it from Mustangs Unlimited but got vague answers on if a regular Mustang cover would fit the bubble back hatch. I'll try again later...

Please let me know what you find out. I need to get a dust cover for #77.

Anybody here know if the Mustang cover works alright?

My sister bought me a car cover two years ago for Christmas from walmart and it fits my car good. I keep the car in the garage and use it for a dust cover. It's a BUDGE #4 cover.

Yeah, it will fit. The bubble doesn't change the profile enough to really worry about it. Especially if you get a Mustang cover that will fit with the rear wing.

For an asc coupe...it will be short due to the front air dam and rear ground effects.

What do you use Mike? What's the best option for an ASC coupe in your opinion?

I have my 85 Capri GPIV covered in a ford motorsports cover made for an 82 GT Mustang and fits nice!

I use 2 (two) covers that I bought from J.C. Whitney for my coupe. The first one got some holes in it around about 1998 and I bought a new one. That one is beginning to shred in a couple spots, but not where the 1st one has holes in it. They are both one the car, one over the other. Then my wife gave me our old huge bedspread, and it's like "padded" and that in on top of the other two car covers. So, she has 3 covers. She is in a non-heated, no windows, locked garage, nearby, backed in, battery disconnected. Tank full of gas.

A neighbor bought a new 2006 Mustang Convertible (6 Cyl.) and promptly ordered an expensive car cover for it. After 4 months, he hated the car!!! He traded it in on a Cadillac DTS Level 3. He gave me the brand new, never opened car cover. It's on the Blue 'Vert. Mirror pockets, the whole bit.
We had our FIRST snow, yesterday!!! Just a dusting, not even measurable. The green grass was all white, but sidewalks & roads were only wet, like it had rained.
BUT...the worst is coming !!! Snow is for youth !!!
