We have a club member at CVMC who has a 2005 Sonic Blue Mustang GT. The owner told me he ordered the car in July 2004.
What is unusual is that the car has "Cloth Front Seats" and "Leather Back Seats"
I have a question for ya'll. Has anyone ever heard of such a combo done on purpose or by accident?

Somebody sure was not paying attention during that build, delivery and sale.

So this may not be a Factory, Dealer or Owner mistake. He may have got exactly what he asked for. He just may not have expressed it the right way
He has talked about replacing the rear seats with cloth. I told him he ought to keep it just the way it is. It makes people notice it and scratch their heads. :scratch: :scratch: :scratch:

I would get one or the other swapped. It may make the car 'unique' but it probably killed the cars resale value if left that way. I don't think the factory would have a code for 2 different types of seats either. That almost has to be a mistake.

have him post his vin over at blueovalforums and ask Kzinti (in ford employees/mustang order thread) for a final build report- should show what was supposed to be there...sounds like a 'shiftchange' type of error to me.
Dont see how it coulda happened though, as my seat bags had the vin number/barcodes attached- so I believe each build part must be tagged, and barcodes checked off as it rolls down the line...maybe the supplier bagged the wrong seats? who knows...

Rarity = $$$$$$$$$, down the line.

its a seat.
Anyone could change that...anytime.
I could change it myself and say its rare and get money for it?
Probably not worth any more

one of our members had his two front seats messed up, one was a pleated leather seat from a GT, the other a leather seat from a V6

That combination is how law enforcement units come equipped -- cloth front, vinyl rear. Can't say I've seen any specially outfitted 05/06 'Stangs set up for police use -- guess this one missed its calling.
Seriously, it's hard to imagine the factory not noticing this odd combination unless they thought it was a special order. In that case, it would roll out just as ordered even if workers thought it was crazy. Who knows???? Add blue lights, radio, and siren -- have fun. (joke joke joke)

Rare and valuable come from options seldom ordered, liked the famous backlit ponies on some of the 60's Mustang grilles. Or KK code engines. Not interior fabric booboos.
