    AC (mid 1983 through 1985) and TAPE (86 and later) = GT nomenclature color or (LX) paint stripe color

    1985 and 1986 GTs had two codes on the door tag:

    1 = Dark Charcoal hood stripe and Medium Charcoal (1985) or Silver Metallic (1986) "Mustang GT" decal on trunk/hatch
    2 = Dark Charcoal hood stripe and Dark Charcoal "Mustang GT" decal on trunk/hatch

    The "GT" on the hood stripe was cut out to reveal the body paint color, except on cars with Black paint. Black cars had a silver metallic "GT" decal instead.

    Same concept for the Capri RS/5.0L "TAPE" codes but they didn't have a hood stripe. And Capri GS (sister car to the Mustang LX) as well .

    Before mid 1983 the "AC" column was used to actually indicate factory AC. After 1986 GTs didn't use the "TAPE" column anymore.

    TR = transmission (and springs, not shown)

    The original door tag actually has 5 characters for a TR code. The first characters is the transmission code. The last four characters are the suspension coil spring codes, which Ford did not record so Marti doesn't have.
