79 Mustang Limited Edition?

[FrozenPony]

Has anyone ever heard of a 79 that they only made 500 of and was a 4 cylinder,supposedly had special pipes and a motor with German parts ? It's not a Cobra and supposedly not the Pace Car. Think I'm getting a load of bull but thought I try to see what you guys know. Appreciate any help. Frozen

I've never heard of any such car, but then again I don't know everything there is to know about fox bodies.

I think that one's a rumor.

There was no such thing ever made. The only limited production was the Pace car. Heres production number right from Ford, as you can see there was really nothing special about any of them.

Looks like Ghia was a Mustang with fancy trim. Some Italian design company did it.

Ghia was a Company that Iacocca had do fancy'd up versions of other FoMoCo products. I think they made fancy versions of the Monarch and the Fairmont as well
