Title: 1985 heritage Tbird
Post by: mcb82gt on February 04, 2010, 08:26:25 AM
What did the interior of these cars look like?  What was special about the Heritage? 

Could you get the auto shifter on the floor?

Following up a lead.:burnout:

Any interior pics would be great.

The "Heritage" edition was only offered in '83. After that, I think the changed the name to Elan. It basically just had more creature comforts standard, special badging, and coach lights. Although I have found some coach lights on non-Heritage models.

As posted above, I always thought the Heritage was last offered in '83.
I have a 83 Heritage. Nice interior pkg. with leather and other gizzmos. This is my first T-Bird I bought (1992)

What was the special edition 'Bird they had in '85? Was that the 30th? Blue with a 5.0...maybe that person actually has one of those but got his info wrong? Just thinking outloud...

Heritage is '83 only, Theres a possibility some parts (leftovers?) were carried over to some '84 models (elan).
'84-86 were then called "Elans".

As far as i know (and seen) No heritage has ever had had a floor shifter from the factory. Not sure about elans though.

My guess is it was a 85' that someone put Heritage emblems on,

or its a 83' Heritage and he was just wrong on the year.

Some pics from him should easily clear it up.:hick:

I assume you are refering to my Heritage.

rears are 275-50-15 BFG Drag radials.
Fronts are 225-50-15.

That car needs to be lowered in the back.
Last year I converted it from EFI to carb and at the first bracket race I took it to, I won the big race of the night. Very satisfying. :D

I agree....

Mine are leather but the T-Bird emblem really makes the seats look special.
( I had to add the black seat belts years ago when we had a baby seat....guess I need to take those out now....lol)

The Heritage, 'Elan, and LX were basically the same thing: the loaded up luxo model in the T-bird line.
