When i first saw it last night, i thought maybe it was a Base/LX with V8 as an option, but the vin (1FABP61) confirms it is indeed a Sport...
Yeah, kinda neat, i dig the interior color, too.
And did notice how clean it is..?

Even the nicest interiors have the broken seat belt..... housing.....

The base/LX style seats and digital dash are '87 Sport equipment, though it's always interesting to see those style seats in leather, especially in that color. It wasn't until '88 that the Sports got the TC seats and buttstuffogue cluster. Those rims/hubcaps were also standard '87 Sport equipment. One thing I'm surprised with it, though, is the standard HVAC controller. I had always thought auto climate control was standard on Sports.

Carmen, the '87 Sport I pulled my 5.0 from at work has the base digital cluster...but does have the TC style interior, well, what's left of it.
it also has the standard HVAC controls, but does have premium sound with no eq, also has the 10" rear drum brakes, although in a 7.5 rear end.
Also the car is tu-tone grey, with black interior.

Funny, my interior is nowhere as mint as that and my belt housings are still intact. Well the driver's side is.

Hmm that is a nice Sport. My Tbird has both seat belt housings in perfect shape. Is that unusual?

I have those seats in my LX. They are leather and both seats are full power with power recline. Although I have perforated leather not solid like those seats.

You sure it was a Sport and not an LX? The Sport will be a P61, an LX would be P62 in the VIN (and a base would be P60). Any '87 Sport I've seen (including the one I owned) had full digital, base seats, and auto climate control. Then again, I've never heard of any '87 non-TC having a TC interior either. The 7.5" rear would be normal for a sport, LX or base for '87. 10" drums were available on anything except TC's (my current '88 base car has 'em).

Every V8 Tbird I've seen always seems to have 10" drums. Mine does and I don't think I've ever seen any V8 Tbirds at the wreakers without 10" drums.
