I'm 16 and restoring a fox body convertible lx and I would like to restore it to exactly factory specs it is silver body with black top and interior 5.0 5 speed now I was under the impression that it was a 92 when I bought it which I know means body color side modlings but I bought a chiltons Manuel and when I de coded the dash tag it says it is a 91 does that mean it was built in 91 and part of the 92 model year or is part of the 91 model year any input is appreciated

Hey Joe, welcome to Stangnet.
Post a picture of your buck tag (metal tag on your radiator support) and the data tag in your driver's door jamb for us.
More info for you after that.
