how do i know if i have a crimson cat capri???? please help

[my83rscapri50]

I have an 83 RS capri. It is red with gold strips, gold badges, trx wheels, and black interior with red inlays in the seats. It came with the 5.0 V8 and a t-5 5 speed, not the 4-speed. My Mom bought the car from a dealer in 1984. The dealer said it was turned in by a Ford executive. The car only has 69,000 miles on it. I know there was 805 crimson cat capris made in 1983. is there anyway to tell if mine is one of them.. Thanks for the help. Just wanting to know before I do to much to it.

yes it has the gold grill too. i called for a letter that tells all options and build date for the car. i was wondering if any one knows like how many came with t-tops and stuff like that. if there is any information about the break down of the different options?

[capri_fandango]

i dont think anybody has been able to find those breakdowns but i may be wrong

do you have a page on sounddomain?

[my83rscapri50]

I have a page on cardomain.com. Its under My83rscapri50. I have some pics and information about it there.

I coulda swore that 803 were made, but numbers dont mean much when everyone has their own set.
I picked that number up from some capri registry thing, you all have probably seen it.

Hmmm...I missed this one....

The CC will have the code "KA" in the slot for the interior trim on the door tag.
