Quote from: 1BDBIRD;134821

I think maybe my car is a rare sport. Its silver with light gray cloth and 5.0 aod 2.73 limited slip. I have yet to see one like it anywhere.
Power everything and EQ system,digital dash,cruise,rear dfrost,oh yeah the center console,with all the switches,power windows,and then the colors. Silver clearcoat,light gray interior(cloth).

Sounds like the '87 Sport I junked that had Smoke(gray) paint, with gray interior... Still have the 7.5 TL around here some place, trashed the 2.73 gears...

Wiring, engine brackets, AC compressor, shifter, drive shaft, etc are in my TC...

Everybody except the following exceptions up to this point has been ADDED. I corrected the trans info to reflect C5's :hick: .

FILA - On your Cougar we need the actual paint color(s) and code, and an actual options list. An actual list of the options on your FILA would be nice too, though I guessed some by your pics.

Blackjack - Need your VIN, interior color and material and an actual options list to add you.

ipsd - You posted your rad tag but nothing else. We need VIN, paint color and code, interior color/material, options, trans, etc, etc

To throw a curve in the sport seat/console debate I don't think you had to get sport seats to get a console on Cougars. I pulled my console from an 87 Cougar LS. It had the base seats, power door locks, windows, power driver's seat, and black over metallic smoke gray tue-tone paint. Those were the only options. It even had column shift.

OK,
EVERYBODY except FILA's Coug up to this point is added in.

ipsd:
This is straight out of the 1984 Ford Turbo Coupe ordering guide:
1984 Turbo Coupe

Exterior Paint
Black; C, CR, DT
Bright Canyon Red; C, CR, DT
Silver*; C, CR
Dark Charcoal*; C, CR
Medium Red*; C, CR, DT
Light Desert Tan*; C, DT

Interior Acronyms
C - Charcoal
CR - Canyon Red
DT - Desert Tan

If your car is an 84 and silver, it *should* only be Silver Clearcoat Metallic (what I put in the registry). That's not saying it couldn't be a blue color. The nearest I could come up with is Pastel Academy Blue from the regular 84 TBird line-up. PLEASe, please, please post up a pic of the car, and the doorjamb (or wherever the color is still good), and the door tag (I know it's unreadable, but let us have a shot!). I'm really interested in getting to the bottom of your car!
