    Anybody have a factory Space Saver Tire? I'd be interested in seeing pictures of the setup including the jacking instruction decal. This was apparently only available in 76/77 ...

    Sorry, you're gonna have to buy a 76-77 and restore it before you can get one of those! :huh:

    I don't want a factory one necessarily, but I do want a donut spare that'll fit. I tried one the other day......but no go. So....I'm watching this thread close. Preston

    Get an 2007 Shelby GT 500 Spare. Has compressor and tire flat goop. Takes up no space.

    A guy on the Boss 302 forum said his car came with a space saver tire but it is not the correct one for a Boss 302 Mustang. He was asking me if it was the correct one for a Maverick otherwise he was going to throw it out ...
