  1. Let's see what am I missing by driving a 37 year old car...
    The seats actually are pretty good, check out a 1969 mach one or a Shelby
    when you get a chance to sit in one. As far as the rear defrost, there was a
    ford dealer accessory available, but I have not seen the "modern in glass
    type." Fortunately living in Dallas has not made the rear defrost an issue. I
    almost bought an add on type, but did not need it all winter.
    AM/FM radios were an option, and today you can buy a bezal and put a modern
    radio in without any other modifications. I bought the kick panels with the
    speaker pods, but you could use the door speakers with the original (or
    original type) grills. I don't have power windows or door locks and therefore no
    keyless entry. I could add a trunk release, which was a dealer installed
    option. The items could be added without messing too much up. I know the
    Cougars had power windows and the other options much more frequently than the
    Mustangs. Cats get more of the fancy stuff.
    Other than sticking a key in a hole, not having extra distractions of GPS or
    other electronics, what luxurys am I missing? (I know that the car does not
    have airbags, abs, traction control, rack and pinion steering, etc).
