There is a 9W/1E 4-cyl coupe at Pick-N-Pull in Portland, OR. It arrived at the yard on Jan 9, 2015.

[StangItMan]

I presume you did a photo shoot for paint assignment to her from the factory, please say yes?

What color is 9W?

9W is dark charcoal metallic. Best looking color on an 84 GT.

Doesnt appear we have much help in the OR area. ...

[StangItMan]

Let's tell the "tree-huggers", "there is an owl nesting in that there car". They will rant loudly demanding the owl's home is not to be disturbed.

Well, maybe not ... they would probably try to shut down the whole yard, darn.

1983 coupe with 9N Desert Tan Glow upper & lower and 9Q Light Desert Tan center...

[STANGMAN116]

Damn another rare combo gone!!!

I want to thank unt8mdgt for sending me a few pics that I had requested. His Special Tu Tone is a good reference. I hope these images can help anyone else needing them.

I want to thank unt8mdgt and 4eyes for this valued post ... nice clear images.

Mid June I will engage in appointments to possibly close the book on my journey with cancer, looking forward to "normal" health and re-entering the task of working on our '84 Tu-Tone (5C /1E) in memory of our son Cameron Lee.

Let's do this!

Now that's a great attitude and an awesome post. When you do finish that car it will be a wonderful tribute to your son. We're all behind you.

My buddy and I just picked one up a few days ago.
If any more pictures are needed for reference just let me know.

[FoxChassis]

Close-up pic of the 'tri-color' stripe between the upper and lower color would be appreciated. And of course I'm always going to ask for pics of the door tag and buck tag(s). You can put those in Decoding forum if you want, to keep this thread all about special tu-tone pics.

The car is at my buddies house so I'll ask him to take some close up pics and i'll post them up.
I already knew you were going to ask for the buck tag and door tags so I requested those too.
I just referred him to the site so he should be posting pretty soon.

[StangItMan]

Thank you in advance, BlackMamba!

Awesome find!!! Can you request a pic of front part of fender, right behind side marker light, where tape stripe ends? Also an image looking down on taillight housings with deck lid open? I'm looking for paint transition on rear panel.

Great to see another "Special" TuTone saved!!!

[BlackMamba]

Ok, i got a few pictures for you guys. They were taken late last night so the quality is not all that great. I'll be working on the car on the weekend and i'll be able to take better pictures if needed.

[4eyes]

Thanks BlackMamba!!!

Let us know if you start a build thread, I'd like to subscribe. I brought my "Special" coupe home from storage last week to start the restoration. Found the build sheet under carpet on driver's side. Unfortunately it's in rough shape, part of it stuck to floor, but I'll post soon in VIN decoding thread.

Thanks again for the help, the support on FEP is incredible...

[StangItMan]

Thank you BlackMamba and... 4eyes, hug her for me too.
