Really Nice '83 Heritage.

As for the Spare Setup, Don't recall ever seeing that before... I know a member here has a trunk lid with a bump (Like MK7's) to simulate that though.

Agreed 100%
 I was wondering if it was a over the counter ford accessory or just a really cruel aftermarket company :hick:

I don't recall seeing anything like that in the Ford Accessory Catalog, but then maybe I intentionally blocked it.

It is definitely an aftermarket accessory, never a dealer item. That same ugly kit was sold for use on an infinite number of cars.I recognize the design of the bumper piece that holds the tire in. The value of the car will increase if it is quickly removed! LOL!

Poor vinyl roof! It looks like old ladies blue hair on a 23 year old...
