    Ratio,

    I was going by what I am seeing at Mustang sites for what they list as repop upholstery.

    I believe the Mach 1s from 71-73 could be had in standard vinyl and Comfortweave (I might be wrong on this though). I seem to remember my uncle's 71 Mach being standard like this.

    All these pics are from Mustangs Unlimited. They took the time to display these well. Many other sites post generic (and/or WRONG pics) nest to their descriptions.

    And they you could get Mach 1 -only Comfortweave upholstery like this pimpin' pattern ... ugh!

    Or, it gets better ... whoo,hoo ...

    A number of Mustang parts dealers call the others, that are the fake Comfortweave over the whole insert area, "Deluxe" sets, and they are available for all body styles, and that is where I got the name from. I seem to remember one site mentioning that Grande upholstery isn't repopped, but look to the Deluxe sets because they are very similar. Mustang Unlimited has seperate listings for Grande sets, but unless there is some difference close up, they look like the Deluxe set and are the same price.

    This is a picture of a Deluxe Coupe set as sold by Mustangs Unlimited ...

    I think the most confusing part for me is ... which ones do I want? :idea: These or the standard ones?

    Kurt,
    I was in Gardiner last week at Brown's on 201 just off I 295. No Maverick's or Comets but he is getting a 2 door V-8 Granada in soon. I'll be going back up to Maine again staring this week.
