Default mustang line drawings or clip art?

I am planning to paint my car and customize the interior (interior 2 shades of blue with black trim pieces and of course the stock chrome.). I am looking for line drawings of the mustang coupe, entire exterior views, interior views and then detail drawings of the dash (front interior view). I want to put these into a paint program and add custom colors to each piece to see what everything would look like with different color choices.
Photos are a pain and just too much work. So I am looking for detail line drawings. They work instantly with most paint programs. This is the type of pictures you would see in a kids coloring book or even in the shop manuals or even clip art (not just parts or exploded views, entire pictures.) Doesn't matter if it is already color (as long as it is not 17 trillion colors.)
Year doesn't really matter, but I would prefer an early coupe. so I can get an idea of what I want to change. Very detailed pictures of the dash would be really helpful. If anyone knows a site with something like this or has some clip-art, I would really appreciate the help.
Thanks all!

I can draw about anything in a day or two, what program are you using to paint it? I have Paint Shop Pro, and Photoshop CS3, so I just need to know what format your program uses and I can probably make it compatible. Heres one I did 20 years ago on an airplane flying back from UAE. There are a couple guys around here who are much better with the digital side of things, they can do amazing stuff in 3D.

I use CorelDraw and CorelPaint x3 (13). So I can use just about any format (or can convert any format). Even a JPG is fine. I don't need all the shading, just a basic "coloring book" type drawing that I can fill and change with color. I am really looking for the dash/window are in detail (stock car). Since there are so any parts and trim, it is hard to figure out what to paint or order in what colors. Being able to see it before would really help in getting it right.

Post a photo of your car. This can be done in a couple of minutes.

A simple "google" search proved fruitful

I tried this a few dozen times with CorelTrace, with the same results. It would work for coloring by hand, but not much good for the computer paint fill I would like to do. It creates as few thousand open and closed objects out of just the gauges or glove box. Even with detail reduced creates dozens of shapes for the glove box, when I just want a one-click color fill for the each item on the dash. This type of "trace" would require hours of redrawing and erasing by hand,to be able to flood-fill.
That's why I was looking for a simple line art drawing of it. One that could be colored and changed in minutes. with just the simplest of detail.
I put my dash back together as much as possible, still missing the dash trim and the windshield .. but here is the pic.

I did find those and others but can' find the dash or anything close That is what I really need since that is what I am really playing with the different colors for different parts.
Thanks!
