Dark Sage Green, 85-86 (though, might have been a 83-84), tan interior with wing windows. I saw one once. TC, V8, or V6, it was cool!!!
So you have a V8.......isn't that cute.

83 1/2 TC, manual locks, windows, seats, radio and AC delete? Would be cool!!!!

If I had to guess, maybe a Mach 1 Red/Red leather moonroof 88 TC. Or maybe an 83 TC loaded (I've seen a few 0-option ones). Or maybe a 84 1/2 XR7 turbo. Who knows?

Rarest 83-88" Cougars, outside of the 86', I would think, have to be the drop top Cats.

So no one knows or there isn't any proof either way. I would think the older the bird/cougar the lower production would mean they are rarest Also I would think the Holy Grail would be the rarest from the factory. Those dealer options would have there own class I would think.

Factory-wise, it would come down to options and colors.

Options: completely, fully loaded (for 1983-86, that's uncommon) or completely stripped (again, very uncommon for a luxury-oriented car). Bonus points for 1983-84 cars with factory 8-track decks. Any 1983's with the Opalescent interior option are uncommon. Option-delete cars (radio, a/c, rear defroster) would be novel.

Colors: Motormenace got it...a full Dark Sage 1985 is very uncommon, the Light Sage Metallic also. 1986 Wine is not seen often by itself; usually it's in a two-tone with Taupe Metallic. Any of the 1983-86 light blue colors are becoming scarce. Some later colors are uncommon (1988 Rose Quartz, 1987 two-tone blue).

Non-factory: Hrrmmm....well, hate to say it but since very few were tweaked outside the factory, we'd be looking at the Bill Elliott converted HO 5.0 T-Birds, the Tiffany Cougars (let the flames begin LOL) and of course the convertible Cougars. Unsure of any convertible T-Birds...I've always heard rumors about them but have yet to find any proof of existence.

Eric, funny you shoud say that about a convertable bird. My GF is in Outerbanks, NC right now, and she said she saw one. Last time I talked to her, she said she had a picture of it on her camara phone. I'll see if it's real or not, then post up
 
As for rare I'd go with the uber loaded 83 TC
 
On a side note, would the Fila's be in a dealer option or a seperate group like TC's? I've learned not to call them rare, more uncommon
