When the new 1994 mustangs came out did they come with a grille behind the pony? Mine doesn't have one but myhusand said he has seen them with the grille. Mine has 75K on it and I drive it everyday and all winter.

 

They had a grille pony but I don't believe they had the anything behind it. Check here:

you can buy aftermarket grills for the 94 - 98 mustangs, but from the factory they did not come with any sort of honeycomb grill or anything, just a floating pony

 

personally i live the floating pony look

 

the same is true with T-birds, I've seen some with or some without...

 

I love the Cobra emblem that floats

 

Actually, all 1996 Mustangs (including Cobra) has a plastic grill behind the pony.

1996 was a year of change with the new 4.6L in the GT, the 4-Valve 4.6L in the Cobra, and other minor changes included the plastic grill and the vertical tailights. Supposedly the grill restricted airflow just enough that some Cobra's would overheat in hot southern states. The Ford fix from what I remember was to remove the grill and upgrade the radiator.

1997 however was the year of cutting costs, so the Grill was gone again along with many other features Ford hoped people would not notice !!
