You guys might make fun of me for this

I wouldn't. I really considered buying one of those when they came out. In that color combo too. I thought it would be the perfect daily driver and probably fun too. The first thing I would have done was try and figure out how to make the grill light up like the Sables did.
They are probably a pretty rare find today since it was a one year only car.

How much were they asking?

It was $3800 obo. Zach, you can probably verify by zooming in on the original version of the front quarter shot. If anyone here is interested, you can pass the phone number to them if it's visible.

I too, thought it was an interesting car.

Note the striping - similar to the 85/86 XR-7.

I posted this picture to show the exhaust Zach mentioned. The photo is over-exposed to bring out the tips. Are they stock?

I didn't take very many other pictures:

I took a bunch of pictures but here are a few.

This car was the stand out for me this year. A '64 Fairlane with the same color combo as mine. It was done up almost exactly how I want to do mine too. It has a 351 EFI conversion in it.

My mom's first car was a '74 Capri that she bought new and absolutely loved. The friday before the show, she quit her job to begin something new on Monday and although she was happy about the new job, she was still down about leaving her old one. My dad and I convinced her to come out with us since the hotel had a heated indoor pool so she could lounge all weekend and it would be a mini vacation for her while we were at the show. Sunday she came along with us and couldn't have been happier when I showed her this car. Hers was a slightly darker brown not as dark as the capri next to this one but the interior was a direct match.

This is an original '65 Steel Body Cobra. It was just beautiful.

351 powered Thunderbird on the dyno. Wish I knew what it pulled.

Finally how about this? A '40 Ford made the invitational display and the owner didn't mention that it had Chevy power. The staff at Carlisle didn't find out about it until the car arrived. It was very nice none the less.

Yes, those are the stock exhaust tips. I don't have a '92 Topaz brochure, but I scanned this photo of a '92 V6 Tempo from it's brochure.

The '92 product guide says that the V6 Tempo/Topaz got a stainless steel exhaust system so that may explain why this car still has it's original intact.
The 4-door version of the XR5 was called the LTS.
