downtown...

you have an early car with an early serial prefix, hence your last 4 digits of 1148 convert to chassis number "148" most likely built mid year 1996 as my serial/chassis #156 was. your rear end if stock , should be the IRS unit from a 94-97 TBird with 3.73 gear ratio, limited slip. Those wheels were early stock wheels back when true knock off Trigos' were about an extra $2400 cost option. conversion today would also probably be at least that much for true Trigo or the newer SPF "WAW" knock offs. your brakes will either be the stock Ford brakes used then or perhaps the Willwood upgrades, which then were also about a $2400 option upgrade cost. Later the k/o wheels and willwoods were made standard with new price adjusted accordingly. is your roll bar painted black or is it stainless, as black roll bars were standard then and ss is now standard. stainless roll bar was also an option then . side pipes, are they painted or coated ? stock then was painted, not coated. is your steering wheel wood or the optional smaller leather wheel ? are your quick jacks chrome or painted ? chrome was extra cost. or do you have the chrome bumperettes instead of quick jacks. most of the later car evolving upgrades can be retrofitted to the early cars, no big deal and not much cost EXCEPT for the lowered footwell in drivers side, now standard and not available then. Your seats are also different than the newer cars, want more comfort ? add 2" of foam to the lower cushion. no big deal. current standard locking gas filler cap under the lemans cap is about $90 to install as a retro fit, easy 1 min job. any other options on the car, ie, green plastic sunvisors, front radiator stone guard, fire extinguisher ? all these items should fit into the value formula. what else do you want to know :? bill wells, spf #156, motown.
