Oh and look at that...a flat console lid. While Chuck's had the taller one. The debate never ends. :D

Congrats on the purchase!

My 84 has cruise and I have the A frame steering wheel. That turbo should be a T-3. The biggest difference in the setup between it and a 5spd is the boost is cut down to help save the tranny. Being a 84 is should have the C3  tranny.

I was referring to the T-Bird photo you posted, Chuck. ;)

I thought you were referencing my old '84 XR-7. 

Unless I've missed something, the '84 XR-7 was the first appearance of the short lid, correct?

Oh Jeesus....who knows LOL. We need to start getting part numbers from them though. I *think* one has to remove the lid, then remove the bottom plastic liner, and then the number is embossed or stamped in the underside of the lid. I do know that 1983 console lids carry a different part number than 1984-up (the taller lids) and physically they do look a little different. Otherwise I can't really say what was right or wrong, and what appeared when.

Brian,

Congrats on the purchase!

When you get a moment, could you see what the build date & exterior color code is?

Thanks,
