Can these Indy tailpipes be had? Pretty sure these are a one year only deal.

Yep, 1979 and 1980 deal only.
[QUOTE=xctasy;1725702].......The 79-80 Turbo 4 and 79-Pc and Cobra 80 V8 cars had the same tips...angled down compared to the '82-84GT tips. When the 1982 RS or GT was specified with an automatic transmission V8, the RS or GT got downgraded to the 2.73 or 3.08 axle 4.2 with dual tip exhaust.

The return of the 5.0 GT had the 4.2 auto and 5.0 set up with a new dual tail pipe, the GLX 5.0 also got it, any HO 5.0. Different kind
After Ford stopped making them as New Old Stock in 1980, Cyclone made crome plated tips for 25 dollars each for a few years.

Walker made a repro of the 82 style for a while but I can't even find them anymore.
The tips on mine are good but the pipe is rusted. I might try to find a new pipe and just weld my tips on...

I did something similar, I started with a stock LX tail pipe and added (welded) an aftermarket chrome tip for my 82 GT:
Sorry - these are the only images I have that are shareable...

Tailpipes like mine on the '82 GT pictured above can be found from time to time on ebay. I scored one a few years back. Never seen the Pace Car version as NOS on ebay. There is a company that reproduces the tip as well that is more OEM correct to the 82GT than what JT used above (not saying what he did is bad)...you just need a decent OEM or Walker taipipe to work with....https://www.ebay.com/itm/Wesdon-Exha...xU7H7q&vxp=mtr

The twin chrome tips were used up through the 1984 model year. Is there any interest in having them reproduced? This would be a tail pipe with a twin chrome tip. I rent had a discussion with one of Ford ‘s suppliers.

It would be a really limited market. Just for the weirdos who keep things stock. Most do the dual exhaust thing. I'd say the tip is more important than the tailpipe is and that one in the ebay link is pretty close.

I didn’t even realize there were 2 types of the tail pipe. I’ve always thought that the tip on my Turbo Pace Car was a service part. Looked at it closer today and sure enough, it’s an original welded setup.

Actually, I think there were at least 3 types of chromed twin tips ... see post 18 of the following thread. Then, there is the debate about whether or not some of these came with muffler-like inserts.
