Your car was most likely ordered with two others (making it a total order of 3, yours is 1 of those 3). That is it. Nothing about options.

Now that you mentioned that the car is from FL it probably is close to the ocean or gulf and will get salt on it and sometimes has worse results than the snow and salt used on the roads up in MI.

ok guys, I'm going to have it towed today by a buddy to his house with every tools he have and swap dead motor out and put stock 5.0 in and get it drivable and get to know what issues are on it, it'll stay unpainted for a while until i have enough funds to get it painted. sorry guys, i couldn't wait and keep watching it sitting... i just miss driving a good ol' 5.0...

little updates... found more rust on floor pans hidden from plain view until the car is on body stands, could see rust holes around front floor pan on passenger side, drivers side just STARTED to develop so that's a easy fix but as for passenger floor pan, replacement floor pan for passenger side are recommended?

let me know.

what color is correct to black out the 10 hole rims?

what color is correct to paint upper intake and valve covers?

that's all I'm thinking for now.

also the 3" exhaust system from headers to pipes are going to be discarded and will be getting offroad h pipe mated with 2 chamber 40 series flowmasters plus brand new ford radiator is on the way along with shorty headers.

i need Coolant Over Flow Bottle, anyone have one to spare that's in excellent or new shape?

I don't have a paint code to give you, but the correct wheel color is Satin Black. I'll let others chime in on your remaining questions.
