I thought 20th Anny's were all XR7's?? I need far more info on the options too.

From what I read, the 20th annys were not XR7's. I did a little research a while back because I thought the same thing. Maybe Eric or any of the other anny owners can give more info on this.

Based upon the LS model, it featured a special Cabernet Red exterior with Midnight Smoke moldings.

You know what I find interesting though. I was just looking at the Toolkit booklet for the 20th. On page two the heading says "1987 Cougar XR-7 20th Anniversary Edition Convenience Kit".

That is the only idiosyncracy...and I'm betting it was because a different company printed that booklet. Mix-ups happen all the time in the printing industry, especially in the 1980s. The 20th was NOT based on the XR7. It was an LS with the proper option package. This is taken straight from the Ford ordering literature.

I have paint code 2M, Medium Canyon Red Metallic. Eric has that listed as not being clearcoat on his site(unless he mistakenly mismarked it)
Maybe I'm wrong.
Unfortunately it isn't as simple as looking over the car for traces of clear since it was resprayed black :(

*EDIT - I found some color chip pages online and sure enough, they show it is clear coated. It's interesting that some '86 Mustangs the same color aren't clearcoated.

Michael, I added the door tag info of my TC and the other Tbird.
I'm curious what the top right numbers designate..F0084-R0032 for the TC, and F0076-R0083 for the V6 car.
