Somebody'll buy it and put it in their own personal garage/museum. Unfortunately it's not me.

Carm, I don't have Ford books for 1987-88, only Lincoln-Mercury, so I can't confirm Raven. It's possible that it was in other T-Birds but I remember reading somewhere that it was supposed to be Turbo Coupe-only. Brent could confirm that.

Ok, I looked in my '87 & '88 books last night and this is what I found concerning “greys”.

In 1987 Raven Charcoal (code H) available on Turbo Coupe and LX models, however it was only available on LX models when the optional Articulated Seats were ordered.
In 1988 the book implies that the Raven (again code H, but now just called Raven) was a Turbo Coupe only color, and that the LX and Sport were limited to Medium Grey (code G). This may be true for the majority of the interior trim, however it appears to me that the seat colors themselves were the same (Raven) between the two models.

Brent, that pretty much clarifies everything. Thanks for looking that up.

I think the interior with the lighter colors have two tone dash boards to cut the reflection from the windshield, just a thought.
From what I've seen the dark dashes are a single color.
