I've been really curious as of late exactly what the demographic/rarities etc are here. (Thanks to Mikey's FILA and the 5 87 20'th Anny LS's) So, what EXACT Bird(s)/Cat(s) do you own NOW? I'd like to make up a registry eventually, so past cars will count if you still have a VIN. Here's what's needed, please fill it out:

Year:
Make:
Model:
Trim:
Original Engine:
Original Trans:
Paint Color:
Interior Color/Material:
VIN: (I realize it's not wise to post the VIN, so "x" out the last 6 digits)
Options:
Door Tag Codes:
Radiator Tag Codes:

Eventually I'd like to compile together an entire Fox TBird and Cougar Registry to try and track these things.:birdsmily: :cougarsmily:

I've also got John's 88TC moonroof car and my old 87 TC auto car too add later on, along with some door tag info. I've owned 30 Fox Birds/Cats, but I only have the VIN's for about 12 of them (I know, BAD Mike!). I'll dig through the "parts cars" file and add on that they've been "deceased".

FILA,

According to my 1984 full-line Thunderbird brochure:

All FILA's had 3.8L V6, quad-shocks, articulated seats, leather wrapped steering wheel, etc. No 5.0, posi was optional, etc. We need your door tag info.
