Hard to tell without the window sticker, but this car could have the dark IUP, which may include the satin steering wheel?

I like this from the description

"The previous owner was a non-smoker. There are no signs of prior damage to this vehicle. After close inspection, this vehicle appears to have no current damage. Door dings are usually present on used vehicles, but not on this one. This auto's tranny is smooth; no skip or slip when it shifts. The engine on this vehicle is clean like it was a show car. All the electric circuits in this vehicle appear to be in working order This vehicle apears to be flawless with no known defects. Mint is a great way to describe this vehicle's exterior condition. Not a flaw on the interior. The tires look just off the rack"

I'l vote for: It's an IUP with dark panel. Streering wheel is upgraded.

ok... so i'll repeat... it's the sports appearance package, for those that don't feel like looking it up, it upgrades the steering wheel to leather-wapped/aluminum spokes and leather-wrapped shifter for manuals, aluminum for autos.

More proof that digital cameras don't really catch a color's true shade like film cameras.

either love it or not - me not but that is why they make these colors if you like it buy it; i bought mine and some dont like my color. one thing i am against is the scoop - it is non functional and looks cheesy - if you are gonna put on a hood scoop then open the hood so the air goes into the engine bay...i had an 00 gt with the scoop and could see no point to it.

I vote for sport appearance package. And the fake scoop. The Mustang is the the mother of fake scoops. Do you ever wish you had a 67-68 shelby ?

everyone has an opinion - i just think that sticking parts on a car that is non-functional (hood scoops) cheapens the car and i am glad i dont have one - it does not add any functionality to the car. i saw the scoops on the 07 behind the door - supposedly to provide air to the brakes but there was a big black honeycomb fake plastic piece instead - cheap looking and non-functional

it said, "this auto's tranny", which i guess they meant, "this car's tranny". not automatic transmission. they should have worded it better. hell, they should have worded everything better.

The previous owner was Ford. Description reads like a used car description but it shows as a new car with 0 miles. How'd they do that?

You could be right, but the SAP is also supposed to come with the "bright shift ****" (pic: http://bradbarnett.net/mustangs/time...07/0702-19.jpg ) and this car does not have that. It's also supposed to come with the metal pedal covers, but it's not clear in the pic whether it has them or not. It would have been nice if they had taken a pic of the window sticker!

actually the shifter you're showing is the premier trim package. If you look at the first image posted above, the shifter is wrapped in leather. If you look closely, the pedals are more grey than they are black.

Quite true, but I was quoting from the 2007 order guide. It states in 3 different places in the order guide that the SAP has a "bright shift **** w/ manual transmission". I don't think a black leather shift **** qualifies as "bright" But who knows, maybe they decided at the last minute to only put the shiny version in the PTP. Or maybe for some reason that car has the wrong one in it.
