So have a few questions maybe somebody can help with or just get us all thinking lol.. so a pict on here of a 83 Idaho car all black with white roof but if you lool at buck tags posted it said came from ford with white doors. Maybe the reason nobody knew of the 85 ISP's is because atleast mine came with those same 14" steel wheels with caps because it was ordered automatic and from what i read the 85 auto ssp's came with 14" steel and my marti report confirmed for my car. So other than the mouldings and double exhaust you wouldnt really notice the difference unless you look at interior of the 85? Mine was also ordered with a center console. If the batch of 5 mine falls in were the only 85 ISP'S maybe they just went unnoticed. Maybe some of you have pictures that were thought to be 83's but are posssibly the mysterious 85's? Hope this to be the case to help with my cars resto.

The tags

Here is the enlarged version of that photo:

As you said, the side moldings and exhaust say its an 83, but other pics may surface.

Here are some photos of two cars thought to be an 86 based upon the hub caps:

The '83s had black interior, which wasn't offered in '85. Also, the '86s in the pic had CHMSLs, which was the first year for those.

Your '85 should be easy to spot with the 14 inch wheels and full size wheel covers.

The picture in middle you can see 3rd brake light which is 86.

Not sure it would be full size covers?

Marti report for this ISP? And the VIN, door tag, buck tag, etc from the donor car? You holding out on me?

Possibly!! No haven't had time to touch donor car and ssp still up on stands have some old Eagle's a friend gave me i need to get mounted on the 15" steelies sorry but can't do the 14" hubcap route. its going to be a struggle for me to keep it auto. My guess is when 86's came to Idaho the 83's that weren't wrecked didn't stay in service much longer so i would bet they swapped the 85 to the 15" so they didn't have to keep 14" wheels and tires in stock..Mine looks to have been in service until 89.
