There are many Mustang places you could try, locally I use "The Mustang Shop," however they are a Canadian shop and it wouldn't be reasonable to ship from them.

Here are a few places to look;
www.mustangsunlimited.com/
www.ebay.com
Haven't heard of these guys, but could try www.cjponyparts.com/
www.cal-mustang.com/
www.mustangdepot.com/ <- My shop has used them before

Thank you! We've gotten a few parts from Mustang Unlimited...they sent us the wrong antenna   I've also seen my dad looking at CJ and Cal online, but I have never heard of Mustang depot. I'll be sure to check them out! My father is always looking for parts whenever he's not working so I have no idea if he's been to their website yet. 

We've also been trying to find the right shade of blue for my console...so far medium blue is the closest we've gotten. The guy at the store we bought if from said we can also use the plastic/vynal (i think I spelt that right...) to re-paint the carpet since its faded so much, but it needs replaced because there are rips and fuzz just gets everywhere when you try to vacuum it.

So much work...but that's the fun of it! I can't wait for the result

The galloping horse is the icon of the Mustang, therefor they put it on all of them. I myself have a '69 (Grande) and it would just look weird with a plane symbol on it instead of the horse, not to mention it goes against the very name of the car itself and decrease the value. Recently this year model has increased in demand, so keeping them as original as possible increases the price value (not that I'm ever selling mine...you'd have to kill me for it ) and it they sell pretty fast if someone is willing to pay for whatever price it is being sold for.

Back then you could get them from $2635 to $3139 depending on the TYPE you got. Hardtop with a 6 cylinder was the cheapest and the Mach 1 (V8 only) was the most expensive (with my grande being right before it at $2971). This was without all the options. If you wanted a tilt-away wheel, powered steering, and electric clock like mine you had to pay extra for it, which meant special ordering straight from the factory, only the people with a lot of money could afford it therefor those cars today are even more expensive. I've done some research and these fellas can go up to $500,000 if they are in top condition and a certain type. 

Changing even the smallest things like the symbol would decrease the value as a whole...it would be considered a fake and worth a whole lot less than original, restored, and possibly even a replica (I honestly don't like replicas very much because they aren't the real deal). Changing the logo as a plane would be worthless because the overall result is a huge drop in the value of the car itself.

I got the price information here: www.1969stang.com/pricelist.ht…
