Will need to replace Trunk lid ( some previous owner drill holes for wing and trimmed inner brace to clear huge batterie box) & rear cover has sun deterioration damage, and hood has cowl on it. Front cover is in pretty good shape (still has holes from blue lights) still factory silver. Looks like they reprint all blue matching silver. Somewhere along the line interior was dyed red :-( ... It's all there and original except carpet (replaced with actual red carpet) and is missing dash pad.
Sounds like a perfectly viable candidate for a resto!! Congrats again Bobby!!

Does the INT TRIM code on the door tag read "BB" or "DB"? It looks like DB. I see BB in the code books but not DB.

Maybe I should be looking at the '83 books and not the '84 books. LOL DB is in the '83 books.

Lol :-)

In "Fox-Body Recognition Guide" DB says L/B Bucket Leather/Vinyl. But the seats are cloth/vinyl I believe. They appear to be original just dyed red...
