2007 Mustang GT/CS New member ?'s

[HeavyDuty]

Hi,

I bought a 2007 GT/CS yesterday, is there a number in the VIN, or a code that determines if a GT is a CS?

It has the stripes outside, not the seats, and I'm starting to wonder about the CS part...

How much of an added value is a CS?

Drove the car home last night about 200 miles and loved it, but its for the wife, so she's gonna be the one to enjoy it most.

Thanks for any help or guidance, Phil

Rolled exhaust tips, special wheels round out that package. I thought they all had a CAI but maybe not.

I can't comment accurately on the added value. Probably not very much!

Welcome to the forum.

Welcome

Do you have pictures of the car? Unfortunately Ford's VIN decoder doesn't seem to work anymore. However, you can get a window sticker from Ford - or maybe one of the guys who work at a dealer that are members can pull it up, get the real details on the CS question.

Here are some...

Bumpers check, side scoop check, stripe check. Not sure about the exhaust. The GT/CS stangs also have the two tone interior, either gray/black or tan/black. The seats and the door panels are two tone.

The wing is aftermarket and the radiator cover extension pieces are also aftermarket so the car has been "touched".

wheels and hood are also correct for a CS

Thanks, I pulled a Carfax on it, nothing noted there as a CS.

Here is some of the interior...

And more.

I gave $10K for it with 93K on it.

Im going with not a true CS. The dashboard and door panels match however the seats should be two tone as well.

the seats look like aftermarket leather IMO, very easy to swap seats, I cannot recall anyone going to the trouble of swapping all those other parts to make a GT a GT/CS

Your right. They could be aftermarket.

I ran my CS VIN through this site

http://www.vindecoderz.com/EN/Ford/MUSTANG

and while it doesn't specify california special it does say some stuff that leads to it as:

Front Floor Mats With Logo
With Rolled Exhaust Tips
Premium Marketing Trim

and this for the door panel which should match as I am black/tan interior as well

Nudo/Aberdn Leather/Contrast Insert

Doesn't work any more.

Looks like I have a GT/CS, and some bozo changed the seats. And tossed the floor mats, not a hard thing to get rid of.

I know the PO had changed the spoiler and some other stuff, the wheels are 18X10's in the rear, which work pretty well.

So, question I have is: Where to buy a CS interior from a wreck and where to buy some of those nifty floor mats?

Thanks, I really appreciate all the help! Phil

Well dam that sucks.

Well dam that sucks.

Not trying to hijack, but anyone know where a working site is?

OP, looks GT/CS, definitely different seats, not sure why the old whens got swapped.

You send them $80 and if its not, it comes back rejected and they keep your dough?

If mine has the original interior, which it shows on the checklist, and its a two tone dash and door panels, with the wheels and everything else, my guess is someone changed the seats out. The rest would be a pain to do, just to change it to a model that seems to have little added value.

Its not like its a 6 cylinder car that was dressed up. That would be bad.

I'm gonna figure that its a CS, if not, I won't lose any sleep, its a great car so far and my wife loves it. She's happy, I'm happy.

No, you would not be charged. The certificate is $45 iirc. I paid for a window sticker as well, although I have my original since I am the original owner, but the info was wiped from fords data base so I was not charged for it. I did get my certificate of authenticity, but I already knew what I had, the certificate was just a nice thing for me to have.

Thanks. I'm probably not going to keep it 'all' original anyway. Its been molested and not really a collectors piece. I'm looking at black powder coat on the wheels and a rear louver as well. Gonna update the stereo to a screen with bluetooth and GPS. Will definitely take some seats if I can find the originals to go in- not sure if the covers will work on my existing seats, and the drivers seat will need to be done in the next 6 months or so.

I appreciate the help! Phil
