First, I own an LE (1260) and I'm glad Ford made a 50th version for the mass public. I just didn't (and don't) get the fact of the biggest anniversary the Mustang has ever had (50 yrs-only beaten by Corvette) and Ford let it slip by fairly quietly with only 1964 Anniversary LE cars. Heck I would have voted for 5000 LEs--100 per year of the Mustang--one for anyone who really wanted one. In 1999 (Model Year) ALL 1999 cars had 35th Anniversary badging--very nice fender badge. (04 and 09 alike for the 40th and 45th).
Only issue for me I guess is that in 99...the 99 LE was vastly different on the exterior then the normal 99s. Now with the 50th Appearance pack-not so much, so I'm taking advantage of that fact.
Anyway--getting to a point. I'm about to Order an EB auto for a daily driver. Was going to wait for 2016 with the new version of My Ford Touch (or whatever it will be called) but have decided to get the 15 so everything matches up to my LE to avoid doing it one way in one car and another ...you get the idea. I have NO interest in using the LE as a daily driver. So yes it is a $47k paperweight but I'm an idiot and don't care.
So I'm thinking of a Race Red mini-me (EB Perf Pak) with the 50th Anniversary Appearance Package. This has me wondering just what the differences are between the LE and the Appearance Package, and not much is what I'm finding. Please educate me if I'm missing something.
50th LE -what it contains that the 50th Appearance Pack does not:
2 colors- WW and Kona blue. Hopefully Ford keeps these colors off other Mustangs for at least 5 yrs. I can see them using WW on the 2016 Shelby-Ford has a history of taking unique items from LEs within a yr or two to dress up the regular line for a refresh)
*2 tone interior with contrast stitching (also contrast stitching on plain floor mats)
Chrome side window trim
3 layer side window (65 look)
Gift pack from Ford
signed picture and for some a shipping cover)
*50th Appearance pack has the same interior but just in black, seats embossed, non-illuminated sill plates etc EB 50th App Pack has the faux gas cap with a Pony instead of "GT" with 50 Years lettering
Missing any unique 50th LE items?
