It may be "turd brown", but it is quite rare! Here is the breakdown:

Paint Code 6L for 1988 5.0L:

28 LX Coupes
41 LX Hatchbacks
45 LX Convertables
NO GT Hatchbacks
NO GT Convertables

Keep in mind these are just the 5.0L numbers - not sure about the 2.3L 4 cyl.

wow, that is a pretty rare color, If you had asked me i would have said that i was pretty sure they didnt make em in brown, and those numbers are extremely low. Thats pretty cool, even if it is "turd brown"

Cevtv, could you check how many paint code 66 (tropical yellow) they made in 88. And if you can find it, how many interior code CY there were?

Guys, all this information is from the "Fox-Body Mustang Recognition Guide". It's a great book - tons of info & full color pics of every year from '79 to '93.

I'm just typical plain plentiful 1C......

I actually know my breakdown. My car is 1 of 767. Thet number is prob even lower now that i swapped a black interior in that wasn't even available that model year.

There's a guy you can send your vin too and he will give you a breakdown on your car's number based on model and color of ext. and int.

The tan interior was pretty rare too. So you might have a pretty rare car there

Brown sounds like an SSP thing. My car was originally a silverish greyish metalic color that i've never seen on another 'stang before.
