Default Rare Option???

I have been told by a few people that this may be a rare option on my mustang. What I have is a 1968 302 coupe with the convience group package in the middle of the dash. Bascially, this is 4 small lights that are in place of a vent or center dash plate. Is this actually a rare option? In most car shows that I have been too, I have not seen any with this package. Thanks.

It's rarer, yes, but not as valuable as other things like the deluxe interior or GT trim. Not exactly a popular option among modern owners; by the time the idiot light turns on, it's usually already too late=/

You sure know how to shoot a guy down...[:'(]j/k. What is it though? ... like the brake/headlight courtesy lights ?

I will post a pic tomorrow. Yes, basically, they are 4 small round lights, right above the radio benzel, that tell you door, brake, fuel, and I cannot remember the other one. I am in the process of restoring this car.

The console mounted version is actually probably more common.
The dash mounted version could be factory but was more likely a dealer installed option.
Anything "extra" is a plus in an classic mustang.

The "extra" my car has is the remote adjustable drivers mirror. Whee....

The dash mounted version is afactory option. Uses the center dash plate. I've never seen anything console mounted.

All along I thought my 67 was the only one with that option. Glad to hear someone else has it. There are 4 lights in the center dash that are just that, idiot lights. Lets see, low fuel, door ajar, seat belts, and low brake fluid. I am rewiring my car with a Ron Francis kit. Not sure I will hook these back up being I am also going with new gauges. I may kick myself for doing this but I am going to keep the original gauges intact and buy and new bezel with autometer ultra-lites. Will see how that goes.
