Interior Restore Question

Are you sure the car is a 1989? 10/89 could possibly be 1990 as For typically changes over around Sept


Check the 10th digit of the VIN.

K= 1989
L= 1990


1987-1989 is all Smoke Gray. 1990-1992 is Titanium. Could oyu post a pic? There are differences between 1989 and 1990 interiors

Would need to see the dash really. That's where the differences are. But from what you've posted, it should be a 1990 and that panel does look like a 1990 panel gray, although very dirty

Differences in the dashes that I know of between the 87-89 and 90-93 dashes are:

1) Fuse panel is built into the underside of the dash with a fuse door cover on the 87-89's and on the 90-93's it is under the dash.
2) HVAC controls - will not interchange.
3) Gauge clusters are different in the wiring but will physically bolt up to the dash, 87-89 are flat on the bottom where the 90-93 are curved to account for the air bag column, and all 87-89's are 85 mph speedos with some of the late 89 5.0's getting the 140 mph unit with the 90-93 5.0's getting the 140 mph speedos and the 4 bangers getting the 85 mph units.

Hopefully I got that stuff correct...
