Do all 99+ Stangs have clearcoat, do any of them have a single stage paint?

All fords, and nearly all cars in general, go through this type of process:

Substrate Vehicle body part
Phosphate Improves paint adhesion
Electrocoat Resists corrosion
Sealer Seals out wind and water
Primer Prepares surface for color
Basecoat Provides color
Clearcoat Final protective layer

I honestly think that the last car we have bought that didn't have a clearcoat our 86 ford ranger, brand new.
