BA/BF are the best interiors Ford has designed in years.

Depends on whay tou want to spend.
EL Ghia is an option if you don't want the colour screen and save some $$$ (I assume the interior includes the dash)

you'd need to decide if you wanted the instrument cluster or not. ef/el onward they run off serial data. pre ef its pretty analouge. Other option make your own out of aftermarket guages.

There was an XY GT mockup with a 5l EFI Windsor and interior from a EL XR8, read it in Street Machine

im not looking at the motor, just the interior and yes i do mean the dash as well.....i think a BA/BF interior would be out of the question as they cost a mint.
anyone know the price of a late model interior???roughly and wat model would be handy also

AU interior in XC would be quite interesting! <-- as per the Mustang that John mentioned.
I'm sure you can get an AU interior for not much $$$ (depending on model & series). |

I think there's a DL interior (complete) on eBay right now. That would be a sweet conversion to any car.

Peronally I like the AU interior in black. Good luck trying to find one.
