extremely nice car at a decent price, only thing I wonder about is what is going on with the int sail panels??? They look very old dry and beat.

that is very nice ....but I thought Anniversary cars had fog lights
 I could be mistaken but I KNOW the one my brother in law and I parted out had 'em 
 We sold the nose to a guy with a  TC

I dont think they had fog lights originally, but I may be wrong.

The one we parted most likely  had the TC bumper added at some point in its life , but it had the Marchal lights and everything

Does that one have the auto climate control without AC?  You hardly ever see that one.

Are you sure?  Take another look at that shot there of the radio bezel area. 
(http://www.dnet.net/user/jkirchman/tbirdbezel.jpg)

The buttons are labeled, "OFF, ECON, LOW, AUTO, HI, (can't read sixth one,) and the defrost icon.

Now compare that to the ECC unit from my car, which looks like this:

See the difference?  What does "ECON" on the Tbird's ECC panel mean?

There is clearly an AC compressor in the engine compartment pic.

yes compressor right there. there are 3-4 differant climate control heads used. that is correct for an 85. my 86 is differant and then 87-p88 had another one all together.

The sixth button is "MIX".

That's was the way the '85 panel was. It changed again for '86 and then once more in '87.

It's basically outside air or "vent" function.
