85 TC with 14" 8-holes?
Hi, I am researching a 85 TC, the car was a mid-option (auto, dual power seats, power windows, cruise, premium sound, headlight group, cornering lamps, tripminder, keyless entry, and leather) that was a Ford "district rep" car for 1985 in California. After the 85 model year his neighbor bought the car some how. Anyway in 88 the neighbor sold the car to a guy in the Air Force stationed near Yuma City CA. In June 1990 he returned home to Michigan and sold the car to a friend of mine to buy a Jeep.
My friend has had the car ever since (has never seen rain or snow and not been plated since 95) but found some very odd things about it. When he brought it home I found it very odd it had the 8-hole 14" wheels instead of the 15" 10-hole and it had hood springs just like a 83 Elan I had. So we figured the wheels were swapped at one time for who knows why, so he put a set of 10-holes on it.
Well now he just got a History 999 report showing the car optioned with P215/70HR14 tires with Aluminum "sport" wheels. Also to prove the original "Ford Employee" tie, it does have 89 DSO and also he has a old Oasis print out showing the "in service" date 3 days after the "build" date. Just though some would find that interesting.
