I registered but was unable to access that page. You can save them locally on your PC and then email them to me and I can put them with the others.

I'll get interior and engine pics today if it isn't raining to bad
If that is a "GT" somebody went through a lot trouble to put L/LX specific parts all over the outside and inside of the car.

well same goes the other way kinda
but the hatch decal and side mouldings fill the part, but the no hood stripe, lx front bumper, and lx seats don't.
As stated the front was hit, and I'm sure the lx was a lot more easy to find, cause it still has the foglight wiring hanging.
Also yes doesn't have the hood gt decal because it was repainted at one point.
And as far as the seats, those a factory. if ford didn't make blue sport seats, then what else would they use for blue interior?
Besides the seats & interior color, the PW & PL bezels are chrome. That was an LX specific feature. Again, unless it was changed by the previous owner. My guess is that someone added the "GT" side mouldings and the hatch decal. Notice that it is in the wrong place. The "MUSTANG" emblem on the right side is LX specific and could have been moved there when the GT decal was added. Plus, it has a pin stripe, which is LX specific too.
My guess is that it really is an LX. Only the buck tag will tell!
Thats the near exact interior I have in my 86 LX Coupe 4 banger. Only difference being the power windows, console, and steering wheel. My driver seat is even worn in the same place
No matter where you go, there you are
Yeah, the chrome interior bezels, the lx seats and blue color just don't add up for a GT. Can you get a good shot of the dash? And a shot of the foglight switch on the interior?
I also really think you need to take a snapshot of the door tag and body tag and see what's up.
BTW, the "GT" on your title is probably only there because it is a 5.0 car. The vin does not denote whether the car is a GT or LX...it just has the engine code (which could be had by both). The insurance companies and DMVs and Carfax just slap on whatever name they need to. Being a 5.0, it is closer to a GT in the eyes of the DMV or Insurance companies than an LX would be. We do see many mislabeld titles show up.
On the early 85 Capris the interior code sometimes has a third character. This denotes that the interior has hold-over interior pieces from 1984. Maybe something similar is likely?
The foglight wiring is a bit of a head scratcher. Can you get a picture of that? Most people if they do swap GT parts onto an LX, don't do a very good job at getting the fog lights hooked up....or neglect adding them at all.
-Mike
The chrome bezels were replaced, I think.
I have the black ones in the glove box.
the seats are mainly worn in the same spot like all mustang seats, I have a few pairs torn in the same spot
So what do you guys think? Lx or GT?
At this point I'm lost.

Some more things to look into:
Headlight switch. Pull it out of the dash. There are two kinds. One that has connectors that go to the foglight wiring (for GTs) and one that does not have a provision for those connectors (LX). Which one is it? Somebody putting in foglights into a GT, may not move all the needed parts over to do the swap right.
Location of the Foglight Switch. People don't seem to get those put in the right spot either.
Remove the foglight switch. Do the holes in the dash look to not be factory?
Look at the foglight harness at the front of the car. Does it look factory? Is it spliced in or connected in with factory connectors?
-Mike
If that hatch decal was correct, the hatch wouldn't also have a "MUSTANG" emblem on the other side. That emblem is a LX and SVO only piece. And it's on the wrong side regardless. That side should have a Ford blue oval instead.
The power window/lock and inner door handle cups are chrome-plated, as is the trim that goes down and across the door panel (above the armrest). All those pieces in a GTs should be black.
The dash trim/bezels don't have faux aluminum panels w/ allen-head screws like all GTs should. The drivers side looks like it's plain black (or black w/ a pattern would be correct for an LX). The passenger side is the same color as the rest of the dash and interior, which is correct for an LX.
The seats are standard LX-only low-back buckets. All GTs should have had (Lear Siegler) Articulated Sport seating, which weren't available in blue. Also, I see the same pattern on the rear seat.
EDIT: Most of what I said was stated just above, before me. Tha's what happens when you have twin todlers to take care of .

Looks like a (non-model-specific) '84-'86 cruise steering wheel to me. My '86 GT has the same wheel.

Hold on guys, I'll snap some more pics.
My documented LX has GT fog lamp wiring hanging....all 5.0's have the wiring, just not the lamps

Oh, now that would confuse things wouldn't it.
Is this the harness for the lamps (runs the length of the radiator support) that you are talking about or the pigtails from the main harness?
-Mike
Should just be the pigtails. The foglight (only) harness shouldn't have been installed on LXes.
My foglight wiring has pig tails that look like they plug right to the foglight its self.
There oem looking also, not home made.
Also the trim on the doors is black not chrome.
Could some one tell me if ford made a lighter dalete? Mine has plate with little knob thing. Looks oem. Never seen that before.
