Default RE: 09 Stang to have GLASS ROOF option

The Ford Mustang gets a whole new outlook with a glass roof option for the 2009 model year. This option comes in response to drivers’ increasing desire for natural light in their cars, particularly as their commutes get longer. It also offers a convenient midpoint for those looking for the view of a convertible with the climate-control and structural integrity of a traditional coupe.
The roof is made of specially-formulated glass that blocks infrared rays, protecting both the car’s occupants and its upholstery. This glass also reduces vehicle cool-down time by 50 percent. The model incorporates a retractable blind that may be used to block the sun and provide privacy.
The new roof will be available as an option on both the V-6 Mustang and Mustang GT beginning in the summer of 2008. This brings the number of roof options available on the Ford Mustang up to three. The model joins the 2008 Mustang Bullitt and 2008 Shelby GT500KR, adding variety to the Mustang stable for its 45-year anniversary. The glass roof option will cost $1,995, or half the cost of the convertible option.

I sat in a prototype Shelby GT500with this roof at the all Ford show in Carlisle last summer.
It was great. Wish I had extra ca$h I'd get 1.

Wouldn't the only people interested in this be the ones interested in the convertible option?

Well, whatever, it looks cool. Prefer the top DOWN, though.

ORIGINAL: maniacmikey

Barrett Jackson is auctioning off a KR Shelby with the glass roof. The best part is the stripes are frosted into the glass so they continue through the roof segment. Car will be sold in the next hour. Money is going to charity and the buyer gets the right to buy the first one off the line plus the one he gets tonight.
And here it is coming off the block! $550,000, but it was for charity


I didn't even notice the glassback roof. Unless you know it's there neither will anyone else!
