If you look at date sold on report I think my unit # is marked by my firewall. Will post that on fotki

Interesting the blue stripe indicated...is that a pin stripe down the side?

Nice save John on a super rare car. I "bet" they ordered the cars all black and put the silver on them in house. does the car have screw holes in the rear quarterpanels at the decklid seam where the antennas would have been mounted?

Thanks Jim, no it had 3 antenna's but all were set screw type on trunk lid I will put up picts on fotki later heading into Boston to see parents with the baby. I was wondering same about the silver. Either way it might go 2 tone.

For various years they ran both marked and unmarked (including plain black), but with the documentation from the NCSHP no longer being available will be challenging to know for sure. So to that end you'll likely just need to see if you can find any visual clues that might indicate or make an educated assumption and go with it. Either way it will be cool one to see brought back. The silver and black color combo is one of my favorites.

Just added some pictd to fotki please feel free to give me input here about ideas you might have

We talked about this before and it's probably buried in a thread here...someone bought one back in the day from them and it was 2-tone, but it was a non-special paint car. I remember seeing one somewhere that was a factory 2-tone, so maybe they ordered both ways over the years?

Congrats on your purchase, John. (and your other addition!)

i just recently saw a NCHP door tag that had two paint codes, black and silver but it was a 90's car. My guess is they probably bought the early cars one color and then ford agreed to paint them two tone in later years.
