Printed before the TC hit production.....

Proof positive that an 83 TC came w/ halo's would be an original owner car. Still waiting to find one of those.

Pretty sure some 84's got halo's.

Def some 84's did.

Found these while looking.

Yup, the 84 Chuck sold me has halo's. I'm not original owner but the car is a Turbo Coupe.

Really like the red/tan car above!

I also know of an original owner 84 TC with the halos and cloth seats. Maybe some late 83's got the halos.

Halos look good in the birds

IMO those 8-hole wheels look SO much better on a 4-eye than an 87/88.

If i had to guess, i would say the bezels were killed in a frontal hit, the header panels, grill and surrounds crumble when they get hit. Replacing with blacked out ones are more challenging than a chrome replacement.

I second this notion. Mainly because I see a blacked-out antenna cap and mirror. The front pieces were probably replaced at some point.

I think I saw the thing in a shopping plaza this morning. Had to be it...too convenient, I was practically in puppies-neck-titty.
Idiotically didn't pay attention to the plate. Someone was standing there talking to the driver. Saw it from a distance, paint had these tiny chips in a line above the door trim, the length of the door. I don't think I'd pay 5 grand for the thing LOL.
And of course it was in the slop. Poured ALL DAY yesterday, and then went down just below freezing. The town I live in has more money than brains and they seem to keep it reasonable on the salt. Over that way, it's just DUMPED. I'm so mad today haha
