Weird T-Bird Part

I just picked this up:


Part number E6SZ-14B089-C, listed for 1986 Thunderbirds.

So I have to ask those of you that have a lot of T-Bird knowledge: what the hell is this from?!

It's definitely NOT from a 20th Anniversary Cougar, because all of those had power door locks. I'm not aware of any pre-20th Fox Cougars that had the memory seat option. And I didn't know that you could get that on a T-Bird at all. What 1986 T-Bird had memory seats but the power locks as an option? élan? LX?

Throw me a frickin' bone here people. ;)

Are there any cross reference books you can look at to see if it may have come from a Mark VII or perhaps and 87/88 Cougar/T-bird? Cause that looks like the basic door arm rest piece just with a different function. Perhaps it was just mislabeled?

Could it be from a 30th Anniversary T-Bird?

edit:  guess not if it's listed as being for an '86

Where did you get that? I've never even seen or heard of that being in an 86 T-bird. That's weird.

Doesn't look like anything out of an 84 either

Eric is that thing for the right or left door panel?  I don't have that style door panel to compare too.

:wtf: O yea that the super secret part for the super secret special edition cars that were super secret special ordered for the CIA so don’t tell anyone.

All joking aside if you guys don’t now man it must be ether an error or something special.

It says memory seat on it, Does that narrow it down any. Is it even from a T-bird. MN-12 maybe?

How many different countries was the 80's TBird sold in?  I know Hyundais have BIG differences in available options depending on the country they are sold in.

It's for the driver's side, on the 1985-88 high series door panels. I don't know why a car would have a memory seat but no power door locks...that just doesn't make sense to me. But obviously this exists, and filled some purpose. We just don't know what purpose that was! LOL

When we figure this out I have another weird part for these cars to let you guys chew on. But for now this one really has me scratching my head. It could be for the Mexican market...that's about all I've come up with.

Export car option?

I'm sure, well, I would think, anyway, that a car could be ordered that way.  But why there would be a part like that sitting on a shelf somewhere, I dunno.  I mean, I never thought the memory seats could be ordered outside of the '87 Anniversary edition.

Odd.  Very odd indeed.

I'll talk to some of the guys in the VTCI and see if they know anything about this. They have a bunch of info on T-birds so maybe they know something about this memory seat option.
