New Mustang Part! 65-68 Mustang Convertible Quarter Trim Snaps


Have you ever tried to install those original style Mustang convertible quarter trim snaps?  By "original style", I mean the ones that are basically tubular rivets on the backside and require you to expand the rivet to make them tighten in place.  It's very difficult.

Well, an easier solution is now available!  Our new 65-68 Mustang Convertible Quarter Trim Snaps have a threaded stud allowing you to install them by simply tightening the supplied nut.  The snap seen from the front looks exactly like the original.

These new, easy-to-install snaps are sold in a set of 6, which will do one car (3 on each side).  Our part number is ST-1431.

New! 65-68 Mustang Convertible Top Boot Retainer Strip

1965-68 Mustang Convertible Top Boot Retainer.
www.VirginiaClassicMustang.com
This is a really cool part that is now in stock!  It's the 1965-68 Convertible Top Boot Retainer.  The front edge of the top boot is made with a "V" shaped plastic strip sewn in.  The plastic strip fits into this retainer and secures the front of the top boot.

This reproduction retainer is made of polished stainless steel - exactly like the original.  Honestly, because of its stainless steel construction, this part is usually in good shape.  If you are missing it though, this part has previously been very, very difficult to find.

Order our part number ST-1522.

65-73 Mustang Convertible Top Trim - New Parts!


65-73 Mustang Convertible Rear Top Bow Trim wire on.  Concours correct.
www.VirginiaClassicMustang.com

We now have "show correct" / concours convertible top rear bow molding in both black and white.  This trim is commonly referred to as "wire on".

Originally, this trim was a plastic channel with a plastic slide in insert.  The larger plastic trim is stapled to the bow and the smaller inner trim piece slides in the larger piece.  Our parts come in a 5 foot length, which is enough to do one car.  It is available in black or white.  It is made in the USA.  

This trim is exactly like the original part used on all 1965-73 Mustang convertibles.  It is not included in any convertible top kits.  All replacement tops use the vinyl wrapped replacement style pieces.

This original trim is wider than the replacement style trim and requires wider stainless steel end tips.  We have the exact correct tips also.  

Here is a summary of all of the parts with numbers.  Click on any of them to visit our web site showing the specific part.

1965-73 Mustang Convertible Power Top Motor - New Part!

New 1965-1973 Mustang Convertible Top Motor is now available.
www.VirginiaClassicMustang.com

We get calls for Mustang Convertible Top Motors all of the time.  We have never handled any that were on the market, because they were more or less a "universal" style design.

We were pleased to see this new motor become available that really seems to meet our standards!

These new Mustang Convertible Top Motors are new direct replacement units with the following features and details:
  • Completely New Tooling.
  • Correct OE Design - not universal style motors
  • Correct wiring connections
  • Correct rubber mounts
  • Motor provides consistent hydraulic pressure to raise and lower the power top with ease (300-325 PSI)
  • 5 year limited warranty when used with high quality AT fluid
Order our part number ST-1647.

This new 1965-1973 Mustang Convertible Top Motor features the correct rubber mounts.

Mustang Convertible Top Hydraulic Cylinders

65-70 Mustang Convertible Top Cylinder.
www.VirginiaClassicMustang.com
We now have an imported version of the 65-70 Mustang Convertible Top Hydraulic Lift Cylinder.  This imported version has a 5 year warranty.  Our part number is ST-1642.  Right and Left sides are the same.  They are sold individually, so purchase two per car.  It is often a good idea to install two new ones at the same time anyway in case one cylinder works, but happens to be weak.  These cylinders also fit Mercury Cougars.

We also still carry the cylinders that are made in the USA.  They carry a 3 year warranty.  They are available for both the 65-70 Mustang models (ST-164) and the 71-73 Mustang models (ST-1641).

Order part number ST-4633.

Aug 23, 2010

69-70 Mustang Convertible Power Top Switch


Here is another nice, new part that has just been reproduced.  It is the exact reproduction of the 1969 and 1970 Mustang Convertible Power Top switch.  This switch is just like the original and features the correct die cast knob with the proper "TOP" lettering.

Our part number is ST-4632.

Mustang Convertible Top Wiring




There were lots of changes over the years in terms of the power top switch wiring on a Mustang Convertible. All of them used some type of circuit breaker or fuse link.


The first picture shows what was installed on the 1964 1/2 and 65 Mustangs. The bracket mounted the circuit breaker on the starter solenoid. Strangely enough, this set up apparently appeared again on many 1970 Convertibles (and maybe 71-73.) This is our part number ST155.


Next we have the set up for the 1966-68 models. This is an "isolator" style junction block. The block mounts below the starter solenoid. The hot wire from the power top switch attaches to the post and then there is a fuse link that attaches from there to the starter solenoid. This is a super nice reproduction that even includes the paper/cardboard cover like the original. It is part number ST156.


Finally, our new offering is for the 1969 (and maybe some 70 model) Mustang Convertibles. It is the entire feed wiring with a fuse link that plugs in at the end, just like the original. It is part number ST1561.


All of these parts are very difficult to find, so it is really nice to have these super reproductions available!
