5.0/AOD, mint interior, $1500. I may just have to go look at this one...

It looks like a FILA, but the grill is chrome.

that's a nice looking car.  i don't know a whole lot about the fila editions... are they worth more?  what were the production numbers on them?

Not worth any more then an elan or base bird. Just an appearance package. Could be had with the 3.8 or 5.0. You basically got 2-tone like this car in White/Charcoal, Blue/Charcoal, Red/Charcoal, or Black/Charcoal with red and blue pinstripes, a body color grill, charcoal headlamp buckets and trim, some FILA badges, and some pimpin white leather seats. They were unlimited and offered in 84 and 85 so there's bound to be at least 10,000 made over those 2 years. Hard to find nice though (as is any 83-86 Bird), and White seems to be the only color to come up.

There is only a few that I have found after about 2 seconds of looking. There are no badges, the sterring wheel is wrong, the int trim is the wrong color, not leather seats of the right style, chrome grill, non-white 8 holes.... Lets just not use FILA and this car in the same sentance EVER again please
