Correction.
The rear spoiler was part of the GT package in 85 and not an option.
Was there a hood stripe delete an option? It’s not listed any place.
I also see the Light/Convenience Group also being an option.

Standard radio:
AM/FM stereo (code 4)
Optional radio:
AM/FM stereo w/ cassette (code 7)
Optional radio:
electronic AM/FM stereo search w/ cassette (code 6)
Optional:
radio credit option (code Y)

Correct about the rear spoiler. Single-Wing Rear Spoiler was standard on the hatchback GT. It was not available on the hatchback LX in 1985.
Hood Graphic Delete was an option in 1986 only.
Correct on the Light Group being an option. I overlooked it in my list originally but I have edited the list and added it. Thanks!

i also noticed in the forum about how many cars were built I noticed there wasn't a breakdown of how many 5.0s or GTs were built in 85!! Does this production include the non-V8s?

First, don't trust those numbers. They were gathered from available "sources" at the time. (In other words, they were not verified with Ford's actual numbers.) Since then we have been getting to see Marti Reports and have learned that some of the "sources" those numbers were gathered from have inaccurate data.
What you're asking about it there. You just need to scan down a few more lines. If a number does not specifically say it is for a particular model (LX 5.0, GT, SVO, etc.), engine (2.3T, 5.0L etc.), or special package (G.T.350, Twister II, etc.) then it is for ALL of them.

OK, I can confirm that the "GT" numbers for 1985 in that link are correct. I cannot yet confirm that the "LX 5.0" number for 1985 in that link are correct.
