2017 Ford Explorer Sport (DD) 1986 Capri 5.0 Silver/Red
1969 Falcon XW GTHO coupe (SOLD) went to Australia
Past 4 eyes-
4th. 1981 Capri "White" Black Magic I6
3rd. 1984 Capri RS V8 Black/grey
2nd. 1984 Capri RS V8 White/red
1st. 1984 SVO Grey/grey (traded it for a worn out 1970 BOSS 302)
Both '84 Capri's vin# were 10 away from each other
U.S. NAVY 1980-2009
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.
