Color production numbers?
 

Does anyone know how many 1988 Dark Regatta Blue LX 5.0 Mustangs there where? (Non SSP). Just curious because mine is that color and I dont ever see that color that often. Thanks. :)

There was no "Dark Regatta Blue" in any year. There was "Light Regatta Blue" (3V '85, 3J '86) and a "Bright Regatta Blue (7H '87-'89).

The only 'dark' blue in '88 was "Dark Shadow Blue" (7N). Is that what you meant? That was a two-year-only ('88-'89) color so that's probably why you don't see it much.

The only places you're going to find production information by exterior paint color - and the information is not confirmed by Ford - is the Foxbody Mustang Recognition Guide and the Mustang Red Book The co-author of the FBMRG was the author of the Red Book. You will also find production excerpts from those books re-printed in magazines.

According to the FBMRG and Red Book, there were 426 1988 LX 5.0L sedans (P40E) painted Dark Shadow Blue.

CORRECTION: It was called "Deep" Shadow Blue in '88 and '89. The "Dark" Shadow Blue was in '87 (7B).

Thank you that is what i ment. Thanks for the info. :)

ment Deep Shadow Blue.

Was it the Deep Shadow Blue that was used for the NYSP cars in 1988 ?
