At one time, aftermarket air conditioning was little more than a bolt-on air mover under the dash-something to smash your knees on. However, time and evolution have caught up with these afterthoughts, making way for a new generation of in-dash air-conditioning systems. The new SureFit GEN IV in-dash climate control system from Vintage Air brings modern A/C, heating, and dehumidification to '69-'70 Mustangs.
Also available for '65-'68 Mustangs, the SureFit GEN IV system adds high-tech thinking to classic Mustang air quality management. It gets cabin temperature and humidity just right because you have control. You get to choose how your Mustang feels inside by sliding controls one way or the other. Even better, no one knows it's there because it utilizes the original heater controls and hides behind the dash without a hint except for cool comfort.
The SureFit GEN IV climate...
The SureFit GEN IV climate control air management system operates with electronic servos for precision performance. The hot water valve is also electronic, designed to operate in synch with the rest of the system. You can use Vintage Air's supplied air outlets or use the factory-style '69-'70 outlets, which makes this a very stealthy package. The complete system retails for approximately $1,300, plus shipping.
Vintage Air gets this result via microprocessor technology and compact electric servos that quietly blend doors and move air for optimum cabin temperature and humidity. There are no vacuum hoses, complicated wiring, or confusion.
