That would be seriously cool for it to be a convertible!

Does anyone know besides body and paint, what other upgrades were done to the actual pace car?

Chevy's Rally Stripes have always been hood and trunk only. I hope they're vinyl so you can pull up all the ones that are in the wrong place!

Carroll Shelby called them skunk stripes, I guess because they were "skunk works".

But yes definately Ford born!

I am originally from Indiana, so my 1997, and now my 2010 Camaros have been badged as phantom "Indy 500 Special Edition" cars- an homage to my home state. Now I will have to gewt me the real Centennial Era Indy Decals...... I am not crazy for the grille- I think it looks very mustangish. As for the stripes, I can see how you could call them Mustang stripes when they run down onto the bumpers in front and back...
