Title: Stang dash in Thunderbird
Post by: Dougy_Fresh on March 27, 2009, 08:28:56 PM
anyone know if a 84 Mustang dash will fit in a 88 Bird? i know anything can be done with enough cutting, but i was wondering if it's maybe a bolt in?

i have measured and it looks like it would be a pretty close fit

One question. Why?

It most likely would bolt in, yes. You'd need the Mustang console also.

The 1983-84 Cougar/T-Bird dash is very similar to the Mustang of that era, by the way. ;)

if you really like to have an older grandma dash do it. You need that stang emblem inside of the car.

Well it would be different. Can't say I've seen that done on a cat/bird before. Good luck!

Good luck, I would like to see pictures along the way. I hope you know I was joking, the problem is with very little sacra sum being shown through the internet.

It's been done.  It was on eBay and someone here linked to it a while back.
