Anyone know anything about the US grand prix. All I see is someone who took their ad pic right before a funeral procession.

Also appears to be missing a drivers fog light and a passengers headrest

Probably just a FILA edition or something so the guy thinks it's special. And Bill Elliott having driven a TBird in NASCAR. Saw that one a few weeks ago, haven't ever seen the car around town myself.
1987 20th Anniversary Cougar, 302 "5.0" GT-40 heads (F3ZE '93 Cobra) and TMoss Ported H.O. intake, H.O. camshaft
2.5" Duals, no cats, Flowmaster 40s, Richmond 3.73s w/ Trac-Lok, maxed out Baumann shift kit, 3000 RPM Dirty Dog non-lock TC
Aside from the Mustang crinkle headers, still looks like it's only 150 HP...

If the price was better I'd consider going to look at it. Not to sound like a cheap prick but it would have to be about 3500 better

And the 83 brochure shows a center mounted tach. :hick:

Would be curious to know if any original owner cars came w/ the halos and not changed out at the dealership.

This is enhanced a bit, fog lights are clearly there, 99% a real TC.

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. 

As for the halo headrest question......see this pic from the 83 TC brochure:

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.
