Marti Reports 1980-1986

[85GT302]

That 278 number for 2A/PA is for ALL convertibles, not just GT convertibles, correct?

YES! But is the PA Code only for GT CVT's? Or Available on the LX's???????????

[FoxChassis]

Good point. I'm not on top of my game it seems. First you got me with the 4.2L '82 GT, now this.

The "P" Articulated Sport seating was only available in the GT convertible and hatchback in '85 and '86. The LX convertible could get the A/S seating but only in leather (code "G", non-halo headrest).

You Know FoxChassis! You never Know if FORD built an LX with the PA Interior! Stranger things have happened @ Ford Plants! Will wait till I get the Personalized Stats From Kevin Marti to be sure of the 278 Number being only GT CVT's

Well, Saleens built on the LX model but ordered with PA (or PD or PY) seats were some such instances of LXes with cloth A/S seats.

Good Point! Did Saleen make any 85 CVT? I Did like the Saleen Seats better than the PA ones!

[FoxChassis]

Two '85 Saleen convertibles, according to soec.org. Don't know which model (LX or GT) they were built on or what kind of seating they had.

That may have been a late '84 build date but I think it was '85 year model.

I think they were made by LEAR! I wanted a set in Red for the 82, But was unable to find them!

[FoxChassis]

Yes, Lear-Siegler made the '83+ "Sport" seats.

A White & Blue One! Maybe the Saleenites will post more info on these two cars... Would like to see the Eminger Invoice for these two cars!

The blue convertible (85-0038) looks like it was built on the LX body and with Blue cloth and vinyl seating.

The white convertible looks like it was built on the GT body and with White leather A/S seating.

looks like the wait is over

Harv: How do the numbers on your 1985 GT convertible Marti Report compare to the numbers you got from Terry McCoy? Same? Close?

The Total is the Same 5549**! The Build date was the 6th Dec 1984 on Terry's Report, Marti Deluxe Report states built 5th of December 1984.... Will have to order Personalized stats to get number of GT's with CFI Motor & Auto! If all holds true, I might have One of 278** GT CVT with the 2A & PA codes!

3rd Generation Report was -1 for 2A/PA, Build Date the same!
Ford CAC Report : Built 6 Dec 1984 with Leather Articulated interior seating-Charcoal in color :-)

Thanks for the Link, Now we got to get the Twister II's owners to Chime in with their Marti Reports!

[SVT Rob]

I sent an email regarding the Capri stats, and never got a response back.

[FoxChassis]

I might send out for some Marti Reports on some of the more unique Twister IIs, such as the 1E and 2A (one of each made) hatchbacks. I was fortunate enough to get what data Terry Fritts had on the cars from him before he passed. I already have a Ford CAC report coming for the 1E T2.

It Was Sad to hear that Terry passed! I always liked those 70 Grabber Orange Twister Mach 1's.... I see that there is 5 5.0L AOD (automatic) convertibles (CFI) Twister II's !

Wish FORD makes some Twister Mach 1's for 2013!

[FoxChassis]

Of those five convertible 5.0L/AOD T2s, three were painted 9L Oxford White and two were painted 2R Bright Red. All five were originally ordered by the same dealer (Rusty Eck Ford), and very close to the end of of T2 serialization.

The remaining two (hatchback) 5.0L/AOD T2s were both painted 2R Bright Red. One had a sunroof (it was also the very first T2 serialized) and the other had a solid roof.

And Now we know the rest of the Story :-)

[FoxChassis]

Had to make some corrections to the last post!

I think I shall also order a Ford CRC report for the 2A T2. Will post both when I get them.

[Ken P]

I just ordered Deluxe Reports and door stickers for these five SVOs:

84 Watkins Glen Pace Car
85 Hertz
original 85.5
86 T-top
86 7B

I don't really need all the door stickers but I figured I'd support someone who supports me and my interests. I'll place another order for the last two SVOs, the GT vert, the 4E Capri, and the 4E coupe once I get delivery on the coupe. It'll be interesting to see how those turn out as well.

[83GTRAG]

I got mine today, It was what I thought and decoded by FoxChassis. If Kevin is correct, he gave me a number for US made 83 convertible GT's.
