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).

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