yea never heard of it either ive had three 5.0 birds and never heard of this there's a badge on the trunk and it says it on the title.I'm guessing because the ground effects are more from a tc and its a floor shifter..

not knockin you I just dont remember ever hearing anything about a special edition. Titles can say alot and mean little by it.

It does appear to be repainted. For the age, and mileage I would think so atleast. With that being said the badge and red trim strip are still no real help.

I would just call it a Sport since you said floor shifter.

Interior pics?

Yea you are right there is nothing online about a special edition it was probably something from the dealer you could get as an option when you upgrade everything haha. I wouldn't say it was repainted though it was just kept clean, the pin striping is kinda chippy(tomorrow during lunch at work ill most likely redo the pin strip). All in all i love these cars because its not like you see many when you go to meets or even just cruising around,just looking for something different to sink my hands into.ill take some int. pics when my brother gets home from school he has the camera with him

Might be a regional thing, like they did with the Cougars (Bostonian, Coloradan, etc). Could also be a dealer thing, where a dealership tarted up a Sport and marked it way up. I'm actually guessing the "regional" thing, since it's got the TC-style side trim and I can't imagine a dealership going that far. Either way, it's a very nice looking car.

fnand03: You can verify the type of T-Bird as it left Ford by the 7th digit of the VIN. If it's a sport the VIN will start out 1FABP61XXXX... If it's a base it'll be 1FABP60XXXX... an LX will be 1FABP62XXXX... and Turbo Coupe will be 1FABP64XXXX...
