Yearly production Totals April 20, 2006, 12:52:07 AM Where is a good source for accurate numbers of production of Cougars and Thunderbirds? I really would like to break it down by engine, exterior colors, and/or other specifics if that data is available. Quote Selected

Yearly production Totals Reply #2 – April 20, 2006, 12:28:37 AM ESP, I knew you were going to post this question before you actually did... thats my story and i'm sticking to it!Heres the best I can do, I thought I had a later one but I cant find it, this one only shows from 55-78 and shows 'total sold' so I dunno if thats an accurate production total or not.thunderbird info Quote Selected
Yearly production Totals Reply #3 – April 20, 2006, 08:50:32 AM We do not have breakdowns by color/options. That is something we'd like to get from Ford in the future...getting it is the tricky part. Quote Selected
Thanks so far Reply #4 – April 22, 2006, 05:39:12 PM Thanks for the help. Thought somebody might have a book with this information. I'll check my local Barnes and Noble tonight!:bowdown: Quote Selected

Yearly production Totals Reply #8 – April 25, 2006, 01:05:31 PM in 1986 the 5speed was standard I believe.. and in 1985 they were optional. Im still trying to figure out exactly how rare mine is.. a 1985 optional 5 speed.. with a sport wheel that doesn't have cruize control buttons.. and of course.. speedometer converted to KM/H since the car's in Canada.

Thanks for digging all that up! Oops, looks like I screwed up on the 1987 total too. (14,957)I also found that Sessler's book lists the XR-7 numbers for the '80-'82 cars.Looks like edit time. :o Brent Quote Selected
