Hi everone. Called round to a mates place to check out a 65 convertible he had just imported to the home land (New Zealand) from LA. the car had only done 25000 Mls and was in excellent condition. But something I had never seen before was the corral around the mustang horse in the grille lights up. Also the dash panel had an 8 track which had a surround the same shape and style as the glove box door, and clips around the sides for a tonneau cover. I guess it was all fitted from the dealership. Any body seen a light up corral before?

 

your gunna have to leave the sheep alone long enough to post some pics

 

I take it you Aussies and NZ guys have a running joke about sheep? I have heard of the lighted corral but have never actually seen one. Gotta get some pics on here so we can all see it.

 

err...yep...they call them "girlfriends". Hopefully, coomsby will respond with an equally tasteless joke about Aussies

An Australian ventriloquist visiting New Zealand walks into a small town and sees a local sitting on his porch patting his dog. He figures he'll have a little fun.

Ventriloquist: "G'day Mate! Good looking dog, mate. Mind if I speak to him?"

New Zealander: "The dog doesn't talk, you stupid Aussie."

Ventriloquist: "Hey dog, how's it going old mate?"

Dog: "Doin' alright."

New Zealander: (extreme look of shock)

Ventriloquist: "Is this Kiwi your owner?", pointing at New Zealander

Dog: "Yep"

Ventriloquist: "How does he treat you?"

Dog: "Real good. He walks me twice a day, feeds me great food, and takes me to the lake once a week to play."

New Zealander: (look of disbelief)

Ventriloquist: "Mind if I talk to your horse?"

New Zealander: "Uh, the horse doesn't talk either...I think."

Ventriloquist: "Hey horse, how's it going?"

Horse: "Cool."

New Zealander: (extreme look of shock)

Ventriloquist: "Is this your owner?" (pointing at New Zealander)

Horse: "Yep"

Ventriloquist: "How's he treat you?"

Horse: "Pretty good, thanks for asking. He rides me regularly, brushes me down often, and keeps me in the barn to protect me from the elements."

New Zealander: (total look of amazement)

Ventriloquist: "Mind if I talk to your sheep?"

New Zealander: "The sheep's a liar.[/align]

 

I have always known the British humor was just hilarious, but now it seems the Aussie humor is too.

 

Back to reality - (- they use a crowbar) - the Pony light was a Ford dealer option and has been reproduced. It's supposed to go on when the car is running but is sometimes hooked up to the headlights.
If the 8-track was installed without cutting the normal radio mounting hole, it's a good deal. Does it say Ford? It was a factory and dealer option.
We may have a 'language' problem; define 'clip'. The factory installed 'snaps' for the tonneau cover. Some convertible top replacement shops could have installed the 'twist-lock' type. Dealers did very little to a new car.
Pictures required.

I have seen it on one car. Pretty neat. I think it puts out an amber/orange color light around the coral?

 

Hi Guys will try to get some pic's next week it away getting new top on the car (change of color to black).

 

Freddy from Mustang Masters had one of those lighted corals for sale a while back on Ebay. Looked decent enough I guess. A bit geewhizzical for my taste, but to each their own I suppose.

 

I can't remember The Mustang Monthly issue , but they had a artcle about puting lights for the coral. I'm thinking about putting an underdash 8 track in my 65 2+2
