Originally my car wasn’t equipped with air conditioning and in Australia where our winter’s are the equivalent to the hottest day in other countries and our summer’s are hotter than the sun i thought it would be best to investigate and implement air conditioning.
Two major tasks were required. One, find original 67 ac vents and control unit, which is becoming a tall order these days, and two, decide which air system i would install.
Let’s start with the later. Rather than finding bits and pieces to reconstruct an original setup I’ve decided to fork out the cash and buy a complete new setup and adapt it to the original vents and control unit. However i haven’t decided which to buy and so I’m still researching that bit. I’ve come across Vintage Air but i know there was another major one i cannot seem to remember from when i researched these last year.
On to the ac vents and controller setup. I managed to purchase these through eBay from an Australian seller for a reasonable price. They are however from a non-deluxe interior car, meaning for it to go into my car with deluxe interior it will need to be chromed. It also has a fair bit of pitting which will need attention. The centre vent is complete (although the picture will tell a different story) the other bits and pieces did come with it, they just need to be put back in.

Hi Mate, I’m looking at doing the same thing… How’d you go? & what do you suggest? Mine’s a 67 without air as well. Thanks Brad
Hey Brad,
Your best bet is to keep checking ebay, you can set it up to email you when your keyword searches pop up. But most probably your best bet are to post on forums. People are always selling parts like this.
for starters maybe try http://www.justmustangs.com.au – An Aussie site and a great bunch of guys always willing to help.
Next stop maybe VMF (Vintage Mustang Forum) http://forums.vintage-mustang.com/ they have a parts section where you may find a setup.
That’s all I can really suggest with regards to finding these original parts. I have seen them pop up so keep checking all of the above on a regular basis and I’m sure you will find it.
As for my setup, it hasn’t been touched since i posted it, seeing as my car is still bare on the inside. But I’ll be sure to post about it when we get around to it.
Thanks for visiting, hope i could help.
Cheers
Cam
