My 84 Tbird drag car Reply #15 – July 21, 2010, 12:20:43 AM Quote from: Dave_C;328885Might be. I was just going by what the previous owner told me. It doesn't have a vin tag. Is there any location on the body that might have the vin # stamped so I could find out?Often vehicles with a 1984 build date get incorrectly titled as a 1985. The only way to tell is the 10th digit of the VIN number if you can find it. However if the grille, taillamps and bird emblems are all original then it is a 1985 or 1986. BTW, the center pin location for the attachment of the newer style quarter pilar bird emblems does match the earlier 83-84 straight bird emblems, so there would be a hole that would need to be filled and a new one relocated unless you the center pin and just use the two outer pins.

Interior pics please!!!I'll get some more pics this week. Working now.It does have a Mustang dash. It's a fiberglass dash for a 95-98 Mustang. It's from Hairy Glass. Part #357http://www.hairyglass.com/mustang.htmlI got a grill for it today from one of the board members here. The grill is an 85 and is identical to the one one mine, so I'm guessing mine is an 85-86 Quote Selected

But hey I love that style dash for our cars! Quote Selected
