How many times have we heard the words, "I finally found the Mustang I have been searching for but it does not have power steering," or "it does not have factory air conditioning," or "it does not have power brakes." The potential buyer laments, "Will I ever find a classic Mustang that fulfills all my requirements?"

K.A.R. Auto Group's expert technicians can install any factory or dealer available option -- exactly like the factory installed it. Some options we frequently install include:

Power Steering

Power Brakes

Front Disc Brakes

Power Front Disc Brakes

Posi-traction Rear Differential

Shake Hood Conversion

2 Barrel to 4 Barrel Conversion

Automatic to 4-speed Conversion

4-speed to Automatic Conversion

Manual Top to Power Top Conversion

Rear Window Louvers (1969/70)

Factory Air Conditioning

Standard Interior to Pony Interior (1965/66)

Single Exhaust to Dual Exhaust

Standard to Deluxe Turn Signal Hood (1967/68 & 1969/70)

Addition of GT Accessories (1965/66)

Keyless Entry/Power Door Locks

Alarm Systems

Front & Rear Spoilers (1969/73)



If the option was available from the factory, it can be installed on your classic Mustang - "factory correct." K.A.R. can price out any option at the customer's request. Do not let the lack of an option keep you from the classic Mustang you have been searching for.

A few "turn key" costs for the most commonly requested options are:
  • $995.00 - 1965/66 Conversion from manual drum to power drum brakes
  • $1,395.00 1965/66 Front drum to front disc conversion
  • $1,595.00 1965/73 Manual steering to power steering;
    steering box is not changed
  • $2,150.00 1965/66 Conversion to factory air conditioning
  • $3,650.00 1965/66 Conversion from standard to pony interior; excludes cars with instrument bezel lights vs. gauges
  • $3,500.00 1969/70 Conversion to shaker hood; assumes new Ford hood properly painted
  • $1,295.00 1965/66 Manual to power top conversion
OPTION ADDITIONS WE DO NOT RECOMMEND:

    OPTION: Conversion to factory air conditioning in 1967-1973 Mustangs
    REASONS: Cost prohibitive and scarcity of parts


    OPTION: Conversion to 4-speed transmission from automatic
    REASONS: Cost prohibitive (scarcity of parts for big block cars)

If these options are vital to you, it is best to purchase a classic Mustang with these options and then add any other options important to you.
