I've been really curious as of late exactly what the demographic/rarities etc are here. (Thanks to Mikey's FILA and the 5 87 20'th Anny LS's) So, what EXACT Bird(s)/Cat(s) do you own NOW? I'd like to make up a registry eventually, so past cars will count if you still have a VIN. Here's what's needed, please fill it out:

From what I read, the 20th annys were not XR7's. I did a little research a while back because I thought the same thing. Maybe Eric or any of the other anny owners can give more info on this.
http://www.coolcats.net/fox/20thanniversary.html (http://"http://www.coolcats.net/fox/20thanniversary.html")
You know what I find interesting though. I was just looking at the Toolkit booklet for the 20th. On page two the heading says "1987 Cougar XR-7 20th Anniversary Edition Convenience Kit".
That is the only idiosyncracy...and I'm betting it was because a different company printed that booklet. Mix-ups happen all the time in the printing industry, especially in the 1980s. The 20th was NOT based on the XR7. It was an LS with the proper option package. This is taken straight from the Ford ordering literature.

Blackjack, I need FAR more info then that. Come on man, put a *little* work into it.
5.0willgo, all myliterature shows that all years med canyon red is clearcoat metallic and that the only "regular" one is Bright Canyon Red. Which is yours?
As far as i know the 20th anniversary's had XR-7 Suspension.
I have paint code 2M, Medium Canyon Red Metallic. Eric has that listed as not being clearcoat on his site(unless he mistakenly mismarked it)
Maybe I'm wrong.
Unfortunately it isn't as simple as looking over the car for traces of clear since it was resprayed black :(
*EDIT - I found some color chip pages online and sure enough, they show it is clear coated. It's interesting that some '86 Mustangs the same color aren't clearcoated.
Learn something new every day.
Michael, I added the door tag info of my TC and the other Tbird.
I'm curious what the top right numbers designate..F0084-R0032 for the TC, and F0076-R0083 for the V6 car.
Welcome to the wonderful world of trying to track down even the simplest bits of information about these cars. ;)
For simplicity, from 1984 on, all metallics were marked as basecoat/clearcoat.
And I would love for that to be the definitive statement.
But this is Ford, and these were 1980's cars with poor documentation, so anything can be correct. However, it's been my experience that that's generally the case: base/clear for metallics, and acrylic enamel for solid colors. Generally. There are some exceptions to the rule, such as black base/clear that Ric has on his '85 (special order/snuck through), and I know that Nick has on his '87 XR7 (presumably because it was an XR7). I've yet to see a base/clear Oxford White but it was possible. Same with the Scarlet and Canyon Reds.
It's also possible that some colors that started the model year as acrylic enamel was later changed to base/clear. Running changes did happen.
What's on my site is published information from the literature. Being that the literature is only about 75% accurate, though, it's possible that the interior/paint books have updated info. I'll double check that. One of these days LOL.
I'm going out now to take pics of the door tag for you. As to what options I have, I have P. sound, power windows, power seats, the lights in the rear of the car, near the back window, leather wrapped wheel ( sorta), Track Lok ( not sure), 5.0 AOD.
If I have a list of options I can tell you what I have and what I don't. I don't know all this by heart yet

Mikie,
FINALLY!! OK, here's your VIN breakdown, 1984 Ford Thunderbird FILA, 5.0, 3.08 OPEN 7.5" rear, built in Lorain, OH. I can't see your tranny code, but it's an auto. That should clear some stuff up, and YES that means your car came with the factory 5.0 as an option.
Carm,
2.73 open rear for you friend :hick:But I love the tag and the options/history your car has. Awesome!
Chuck,
You 84 TC is cloth right? And I love your clone even more now that I know it was an original 5.0 car and it's always been Silver :hick:
Eric,
When we gonna see the Vert on here? Or the Top 25 for that matter :D
Mike, I don't think it's the original rear. It looks "newer" then the rest of the car. What is the option list so I can figure out what all I have and I don't. Thanks for the brakedown and sorry for the jack.
It was repainted the original color. I could have changed it at the time as I had the jams and the underside of the hood and trunk done at the same time. I liked the silver though.
Yup, it was a 5.0 car originally.
The 84 TC is cloth. Haloed (open) seats.
(http://www.turbochuck.com/images/84TC/8_21_06_4.jpg)
That's why the 3.55 TC 8.8" is sitting on jack stands waiting to go in :D Just gotta fix the wheel bearing/axle shaft/differential pin problems and it's good to go. Funny that it would have 2.73 gears with the 10" drums and sway bar though...

Warbird9,
Get those paint colors and I'll add your two to the list.

Added you, and I do believe you have the only factory leather consolette car I've ever seen.

Gray paint unsure of the code can't read the tag on the door frame. I do kow that the name is blue somthing. I even matched it up to a paint chip from 84 and it was blue something that matched inside the door frame no sun fade in that spot.

Not sure what you can do with this info . I do think it's strange how I have so much power stuff but no rear window defog.

ipsd, you have a pic of the paint? I'll be happy to help.
How come you dont have the Thunderbird's Sport package listed?
Cause nobody with a Sport has posted yet???
Ah. Well, I'll go get my numbers here in a min. Then we'll have a Sport up there :) .
Ok uh...I just wrote down every single number shown on the door tag (where my VIN is) and this isnt matching up. My interior color should show a BL somewhere, but nowhere in my numbers is there such a string (this car has never been tampered with). I dont even know where to start.
LOL, OK, your VIN doesn't have the paint or interior codes in it. Take a pic if you can...
Yeah, I know that. I have EVERY number written down off of that tag.
Int Trim: EE
There also is a letter H thats kind of in between the "Tape" and "R" labels on the sticker. Not sure where it's meant to be.

Then next to the VIN number is a half closed box with a few numbers:

No code under paint? That's wierd. What color and material is your interior? That will match us up with the code. And good news, M is 2.73 POSI! Go do a burnout for FILA :hick:
Yea, please do:toilet:
Haha, maybe I'll light 'em up when I get my new rims and tires :) .
As for the paint code, I'll check again on the tag. And all you had to do was look at my cardomain to see my Interior color and type :P . Shadow Blue cloth. Good thing because I'm not a fan of leather interiors.
As for details, this is what I know about my car (without looking up the numbers)
Paint: Oxford White
Interior: Shadow Blue cloth
Engine: 5.0 EFI
Package: Sport
Tranny: AOD
Rear: 2.73 Posi
Options: Power windows, power drivers seat (manual passenger seat), tilt, cruise, auto dim and that jazz, side marker lights, Premium Sound (but no equalizer), keyless entry (which has since been lost), and probably a few other things I cant remember right now.
EDIT: Right above where it says "Ext paint colors" theres a 9L. It's kind of worn, so it may be BL, which would match the paint color.

mine
Keyless Entry is the number panel on the door, not a remote entry. I'll add you in...
Didn't know Ford sold a POSI, surely they and GM didn't partner-up in the late 80's, did they!!?? ;) :beatyoass:
j/k Michael, doin' a fine job with this, it's a cool idear! :D
Ah yeah, my bad. Thanks for adding me in...finally got a Sport package car on the board :D .
I thought my car was pretty loaded (just without leather and moonroof, which I can do without), but it seems that there are tons of other options (like DUAL power seats opposed to my single power seat). Maybe I have most of them, but I'll have to see.
Actually, my old Sport is posted, I just need to verify my paint code.:D
Ah, is that bronze color the factory color? Either way, I always admire that color when I see the pic on the banner. :)
mjbtbird,
91 is your paint code. BIG thanks on the door tag.
I'll update again tonight for evrybody if you all post stuff up.
Posi, trac-loc, whatever, they are ALL inferior to the almighty AMC TWIN-GRIP!! :hick: :P
im a fan of the good old Detroit locker myself
I do believe I found it. The radiator tag from my 84 Turbo coupe. here goes
0241 157414 S63B 1Y
PWD PA R
KEY CL 2
W2 FA 89
That is what the tag says. I even spaced it out like the tag is just incase. I have no clue what number means what on the Radiator support tag.
I actually saw a black 88 LX at the wreakers once with smoke gray leather and a consolette. So I know there was at least one more T-bird with a consolette and leather from the factory.
Now that I know it's rare maybe I should have kept the consolette instead of installing the console when I had my seats re-upholstered:hick:
I think Cougars 2 Go bought a light sage green 85 Cougar with tan leather interior and consolette a while ago...

That pic has a little photo trickery.:D I took the pic a little before sunset, so with the sun being low it gives it that bronze-ish look. It's actually Brite Red hi solid clear, code 26. Basically burgundy red.
Mike: I updated some, and added a few more birds. I have most of the buck tags (radiator tags) but I'm trying to find a break down of the codes so I can figure out how I'm gonna post them. I'm not sure if where they are on the tag affects the decifering.

OK,

Warbird9,
The paint colors on your cars is Medium Red Clearcoat Metallic, same as Layla. The 2-tone grey interior is Charcoal/Raven Grey.
So the most popular exterior color is medium red clearcoat and the most popular interior color is scarlet red. Hmmm you guys like red. I wonder (we'll probably never find out) what the most popular color combo on theses cars was. On the other hand I've only seen one other silver metallic/smoke gray metallic tue-tone 88 T-bird. It was a V6 LX on ebay a year ago. It had 65,000 miles on it and looked to be in good shape. I should have bought it and had twins :D
Serriously no one else had a factory consolette car with leather? Weird.

Sticky worthy? :D
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).
Oh and red sucks
1. My car is Red on Red, rephrase that sentance!! :P
2. Red is the most popular so blah!
3. Silver is 2nd popular and grey is the 2nd interior. Your car probably isn't all that rare. You have to have a really bizarre color or leather/moonroof/vent windows to be rare.
4. You've got a 351 and Rodlite's, who cares about rare? Go fast!
Also, 88sportcoupe has been added, except for paint color (I have no idea what color 1C is). Where's the updates from the three ^^^^ mentioned earlier? Where's everybody else?
Well the car is black and from the information on this website (http://"http://www.tcpglobal.com/autocolorlibrary/acl_files/ford.html") thats what it says 1C is too, but im no where near an expert on it though. Sorry i guess i should have just put the color in.

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
I need a copy of the options list for the bird and will get one up for the cougar in about 2 weeks when I get her here.
I'll get you info on my 83 Heritage, 83 TC and the 88 TC I had but in the meantime, if anyone is bored and looking for a particular year or body style check out the following link.

Hey Mike! check page 3 i updated my stuff for ya.
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.
hey aerobird check out page 6 of this thread. That is where my 1st post with information about my car is. I do think everything is listed there besides the rad tag info.

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!
gotta add something, forgot it in the original post--i have 10" drum brakes in the rear, not the standard 9". just saw v8demon mentioned that for his car so i thought id so the same.
From what I got on the RAdiator tag the paint code is 1Y. The computer at work calls it Drak charcoal. I remember the old pages of the paint book had a different name for it. I'll see what I can do about the pics it is raining today.
Updated to reflect ipsd's actual color.
The 84 shop manual calls paint code 1Y, Dark Charcoal Metallic
Clear Coat.
Here are a couple pics of my car just so you all can see the color. These pics are early moring pics I tried to get the car into the sun
That's Dark Charcoal, Medium Red (hood), Black (header panel and passenger fender), and primer. :hick:
I definately see the blue tint in the Dark Charcoal, that's an awesome color! If you ever paint it, leave it Dark Charcoal (unless you "Sleeper" Black first :P )

Gonna go back to the stock color as soon as I get the 94 cougar on the road. The 94 is gonna be DD duty. The 84 is gonna get the body and interior restored to facotry or better. It has leather seats. dirver power. Both have the lumbar hand operated pumps. And the front leg pullouts. Also I dig the keyless entry way back in 84 that has got to be rare.

Are you SURE? Power moonroof? Electronic climate control? Leather? Auto-Dim headlamps? Dual power seats? Keyless Entry? We need specifics.
Allexey,
Where are you located? The Russian plates are cool!
Why, I believe he's in Russia :D I remember when he joined, the board's anti-spam software automatically rejected him because of his .ru email address
shiznit son, there's a bird in Russia. I'm impressed
oo forgot leather. but yes to all of the rest of that. its such a long list i dont wanna sit and spell it out but i guess i might
auto dim, auto lamp, pwr antenna, clock with elapsed time, deleted turning lamps, electric climate control, pwr door locks, power mirrors, keyless entry, power 2 way moonroof, floor mount auto shifter, cruise control on the wheel, economy computer.. thats all i noticed might make my car different. does it count that both my sunvisors have lights in them? and the dome light has 2 map lights? i looked and i couldnt see any codes on the radiator but i know for a fact its the one that came in it b/c its a battery from all the alkaline and it leaks from corrossion.
i forgot, rear defroster as well. 3 speed wipers with elapse control. after reading some of the posts i realize i have the luxury light group and the power lock group as well. carpet floormats. oh and, the color codes i got off the door doesnt fit. like the hbody code is 63D and i read the color breakdown and i didnt see that anywhere, nor did i see the trim color AD. im guessing 63D is black b/c thats the stock color, and AD is some shade of deep red.
its prolly one of the best cars in russia too... they suck at making cars from what i've seen on tv and such. they might be getting better but for the longest time they've sucked.
Yes, I am in Russia. FOX T-Bird it is much better than any Russian NEW car. ~12 cars (87-88 Tbird) are registered in Russia. In my city one-two FOXbody (on five millions population).
how much of a pain is it to get parts there?
what is that thing? it looks cool
my heart says jag.
a munched jag or half eaten BMW
yep a mid 90s bmw 5 series, sans bumper and grille!!!
no shiznit you like it though. so do i, and ill bet its the same reason!the double headlights and a large space in between them, reminds me of a 70s challenger or something kind of a :hick: way to do it though :giggle:
poor tbird!! all alone in a lot full of beemers!!!
Yes, there all BMW (I work in bmw service), it is 535 (custom shark tuning).
Autocat - "deleted turning lamps" is not an option, your car simply doesn't have them or leather. 63D is the Body code, which means it's a T-Bird :hick: The paint code kinda "floats" by itself over that with no explanation, and it's 2 digits, usually 2 numbers, such as 28 or 33.
Nice Bird Allexey! I've shipped to Russia before, but I don't think it was for you. Have anymore pics?
The paint code isnt on the same line as the body code and the other codes. It is actually above the body code.
ahhh, im enlightened, i'll check tomarrow.
Thanks, other pics little bit later. Now the car is disassembled, prepared for full painting.
well they're deleted b/c when i had to replace the front of my car i couldnt find the trim or the bulb to go in the holes. so i just went and got non turning lamp trim... i might go back to turning lamps after i find the trim and lights that go in the spot.
now for the codes. paint is R1, i think the int color code was 21? lemme go look at the thread that has the breakdown.
i couldnt get a good enough picture but i swear thats exactly where you said the paint code would be and thats what it said. when i tried to get a shot of it, my cam is so old (1mp) its just fuzzy, and even trying to read it is difficult. like the 21 im not sure if thats 2I or zi Z1 etc. but the R1 or RL was pretty clear.
Got the door code for the cat Mike

Is that a power moonroof?
So where is the master list at? Also is there some sort of comparison to the factory porduction numbers so we could find out how rare our car/cars are? I would really like to be able to have the info where we could break down and just see how rare some of these cars are. I know I can't be the only one to wonder how rare there cars is. Just think about its options, and some of the odd ball that ford did here and there some of us might have a one of a very low number. That would be killer to find that out. Anyone else want to know this? I think aerobird is doing a great job. If I can help let me know. I was thinking if we had the raw data that maybe we could put it into a easy to read format. Break it down as far as we can to get how many of what cars were made with what options(pw.ps.pl.pw,pm,tilt,cruise,keyless entry),colors,wheels, style(T/C,Sport,Elan), and anything else we could pile on the list to make it the most acurate this is how many of this or that were made.
Nobody knows where the "master list" is at. Eric and Pete Dunham from NATO have been looking for them for years. I'd LOVE to get my hands on it though!! Right now all we have is our own little "list" here, with 67 or however many cars we are up to now.
Sounds good. I'll provide all I can for my 2. Just let me know what to get info on and I'm game
Hey, on the 1st page - 20th's are '87's not 88's!

Dunno if you want to count a car that no longer exists, but I found the VIN to the TC I dismantled:

This was a 5-speed car with the following equipment:
PW/PL/PM
P. driver's seat
Power lumber both seats
Rear flip down armrest (dunno if all "Sport" seats had this, so thought I'd mention it)
Premium Sound w/o EQ
C-pillar lights
non-lighted vanity mirrors
EATC
Cruise
Rear Defrost
Block Heater
I think that's about it - it didn't have any of the fancy stuff like automatic lamps, auto dim lamps/mirror, keyless, power antenna, moonroof, leather...
Dunno the door tags, but it was silver clearcoat metallic (with no clearcoat left on it) and navy blue cloth interior. Obviously it had the 3.55 traction lock 8.8" rear.

Those base door panels and seats are normal in an '87 Sport.
Just a thing to add about that parts TC, that you made me think about in your thread about the Sport - my TC did not have the systems sentry panel. It had a blank panel with just the cig lighter, just like your Sport. I'm using it in my car to replace the home made panel I had installed when I first did the console swap.
As for that Luxury Light Group - it must have been available a-la-carte, as my '88 has the hood light (still works!) and the dual-beam dome light (I thought all Fords from about 1972-1990 used that same dome light, the big chrome one with ugly white lens and two "fisheyes"), but it had plain visors (no lights, no mirrors, no nuthin') and doesn't have the rear lights, I/P courtesy lights (I assume you mean the ones that light your feet up) or illuminated entry. Of course, thanks to the parts TC it has all of that now, except illuminated entry
What ever I can do to help out in documenting my bird, just let me know. If i have a list of options, I'll go through and post them. I can also list everthing on the Fila add I got from Mike. Just let me know what I can do, I'm more then willing to do the work to get this right

There's a list on the bottom of Page 1 of every paint color (and interior color) for TBirds (including TC spefic lists) as stated in the Ford publications. I'm working on the options list now.
Mike, I've got some additional info from the Cougar side, as for the colors and interior combinations, that are in the dealer order books. Some of what you have doesn't correlate to what I have. I will be making my lists as well and will let you know.
That list is only TBird's, and comes from the NOS brochures. I have no idea as to how "accurate" it is, but it seems solid enough.

"I can tell you that according to the 1987 Ford Parts Catalog, Paint code 14 is Light Charcoal Metallic. I have found that the name in the Parts or Paint catalogs do not always equate to what was listed in the Thunderbird Sales Catalog.
I know that there are diferent mixtures when you give a paint code to the supplier. When I painted my Code 26 Medium Red Clearcoat, they two mixtures - one lighter & one darker. I know that the Bright Silver Ford put on the Tbirds had 3 different mixtures. "
Holy cow...somebody had some time to kill tonight. ;)
Well, while this g match was going on, I updated the 1984 Cougar color page: http://www.coolcats.net/fox/1984colors.html
It now reflects ALL correct interior color codes and materials, the correct factory vinyl top colors, the correct pinstriping color codes, and what interior colors were available with what exterior colors. So now someone has a base upon which to start the correct combinations for 1984 Cougars (and probably almost all '84 T-Birds). I'll have the 1985-86 colors done within the next few weeks. Possibly the '83 colors also.
Of interesting note: it was possible to have a 1984 Dark Academy Blue Metallic Clearcoat Cougar with a Canyon Red interior. Why? I would love to know myself. Again, this was Ford, in 1984. Who the hell knows. ;)
Anyway...I'm pretty tired of reading these verbal volleys here so I suggest we keep two separate databases for the time being. Everyone seems to be happy enough with both. We'll all contribute to both, where possible...it's not that difficult to copy and paste info. No big deal from where I sit.
Please...just chill already.
Eric,
Cause Dark Blue with a Red interior is PIMP!! I still want to swap a porno red leather setup into a Shadow Blue 88 TC with moonroof for a DD. Mmmmm!
Hey Mike! Just noticed your reply. Sorry about the apparent blooper. My source for that paint name I listed was from the 'Cars and Parts Magazine Catalog of Thunderbird ID Numbers 1955-1993' This a scan of the '87 and '88 paint code section, I guess their sources were off, sorry about that!:D
Recently I also remembered that I had gotten this from ebay awhile ago, and forgotten about it:dunce: . This set of paint chips and codes covers 1984-1989. If theres anything you'd like to see, let me know and I can post other scans, or set the up for you to download. Let me know!:D
Warbird,
They got the color of the color right on, but all the names are funky. Still, you can see the 3 shades of red :hick: Nice charts!
Warbird,
Holy Cow! The 2nd one shows 5 different reds just for 87! And there were only 2 reds when you combine the base/LX/Sport Birds with the TC's.
Scarlet Red, which is not a metallic, and Medium Red Clearcoat Metallic. That's 5 reds mixed for 2 reds coded. Hmmm...
A friend of mine's parents had a '79 T-Bird that was metallic green with a red interior. Thing looked like a Christmas party gone horribly wrong.
BTW, how are you liking your MN12? I keep wondering if I should pick up one of these really nice ones why they are still cheap.

I hope that I got everything correct. I dont know for sure if this car had a Metallic Clearcoat, I do know that is was wrecked in '91 and Metal Flake was "supposedly" added to the base color. I havent looked the code up at the Body Shop I work at so I dont know.
Added ;)
Well this thread seems to have died but a while ago i called Ford for the History report that Eric had on coolcats(which i cant find anymore) and I got the letter in the mail yesterday with the build sheet information. SO i updated my original post on page 9 with the options that the car came with according to Ford.
Awesome!!!

Mike, I'll have the new TC up next time I go over
Added Sleeper's Cougar and turbo 88 xr7's Bird and Cat.
I have a BIG surprise for you guys tonight or tomorrow for a car on this thread ;)
thats kinda scary i guess:hick:
Here it is :D
John's 84 TC. Factory 2-tone at the high beltline, Smoke Grey top, Black bottom. Smoke Grey leather interior, dual manual seats, Premo sound. Some jerk on another forum bought it running and driving and pulled the motor for a Rustang swap.
I'll have the VIN up in a few and added to the Registry. Check out the crack free dash ;)
what happened to the nose and hood? does he want a 2.3t??
Some idiot wrecked it and got a replacement hood, trunk, and front and rear bumpers from a white base Bird. He then painted the roof spray can white.
He does need a 2.3T for it. It came with the original non-WC T5 trans though.
to bad your so far away, id rip the one from my black car, and say here you go cheap. o well, my dad also i think still has one with a bad turbo and a rod knock

I question the premium sound because the only thing there is the door speaker grills that say premium sound. No EQ or amp that I know of. I question the floor mats too simply because if it did come with them I dont have them.
what paint color factory type would be GOLD. Im considering buying mason this gold TC,, runs and all , good shape for 1500.
wondering about the color cause i dont see gold much.
I think Vinnie's is gold. Ask him

Right now the car is painted a maroon color from a 1988 Lincoln Mark VII (code 9P). I'm trying to decide if I want to go back to the original color when I'm done turning it into a racecar.

I may have missed this, but how do you decode the radiator tags Mike? I know and understand the Vin and door coded but not the Tags. I'm in touch with another Fila guy and I wana see if there is some "code" or something that keeps them alike.
We don't know yet. That's kind of one of the points of this thread. Maybe Eric and Brent and look over all the radiator tags posted so far and give some insight.
