Base seats in an 87 Sport March 06, 2015, 10:30:52 PM Another weird one, if you wanted power recliners in a Sport, you had to get the base seats. Personally, I'd much rather have the TC/Sport seats. Quote Selected
Base seats in an 87 Sport Reply #1 – March 06, 2015, 10:49:41 PM The pain in the ass of not being able to recline the seats with a dead battery alone offset any benefit you might get by not having to pull a lever instead of pressing a button. Quote Selected

Personally, I'd much rather have the TC/Sport seats.I thought all the '87 Sports used the base seats??? One I used for parts when I did the 5.0 swap on my TC had base seats and didn't recline... All the '88 Sports I've seen had the TC style seats... Quote Selected

Throw in the 3.55 rear from the TC...shagers.You wanna tell us how you really feel??? :hick:Should have been five lug and had the larger brakes as well(LSC without the air bags)... Real meter movement type gauges like was in '87 Stang would have been nice, the bi-metal POS suck royally...Had Ford not had a hard on to switch to the SN 95 chassis, might have happened, at least partially... During a road test Hot Rod suggested the '87 Sport needed a HO, Ford told them not likely going to happen... If they'd have tossed a 5-speed in, Turbo Coupes would have truly been rare, Sport would have out sold the TC probably 3 to 1... As it is Sports no doubt had less sales than TC...BTW, my '87 Sport had the base door panels same as '88... Quote Selected

Base seats in an 87 Sport Reply #7 – March 08, 2015, 05:41:33 PM My 87 Sport had base seats with no power recline, and it had the base door panels as well. The only car I ever owned with the "deluxe" panels was the 87 TC parts car. This was also the only car I'd ever owned with the TC-style seats, which I swapped into my 88 base Bird (on non-power bases, but with retained power lumbar). I was gonna swap the door panels in too, but after removing them from the TC doors and seeing how complicated and fragile they were I decided to stick with the base panels. Quote Selected
