1988. I’ll have to take some Thais weekend for you. The only ones I have now are when I first bought it. It was pretty crusty, rather not share those. There interior is in good shape though, minus some tearing on the driver seat bolster.

The two tones are super popular. White on a GT vert is big.

"the lighter colors"..?
looks cleaner, less need to wash, dent hider, etc.
I like a repaint in any of the oe colors (& re-state the above). Some look funky when not done so.

After having a black interior for as long as i have, if i were to order a Fox new and spec it out the way I wanted, i would choose gray.

Black photographs well, but it shows every spec of dirt/dust, makes the interior seem smaller, and gets hot as hell on sunny days.

The gray interior on these cars looks very clean and neutral.

Last summer in my town i saw a black saleen vert (had to be 87-89), top down, gold basket weaves and decals, sand/beige interior, halo headrests.
I have to say, i loved it. If you asked me 20 years ago if i wanted that color interior i would have made some snarky comment, but with black it looked pretty amazing (at least on a vert) especially combined with the halo flofits (or maybe recaros).

For me, gotta be black. I am a little biased ;-)
(Yes, it includes some rattle can work. Yes, that's the wrong door trim. It's a "work in progress"!)

I wonder if the colors gain desirability based on model. Like green on a lx vert, teal on a cobra, white on a gt vert "vanilla ice".

I'm a fan of the dark shadow metallic blue color of my daily driver... it pretty much looks black from 10 feet out except when it is in direct sun shine.

Too many filters used on the pic to tell any way... Wild strawberry or electric red would be the closest factory color.... Wouldn't mind owning another coupe in those colors again.

Reef blue? Had a 93gt in the same color combo with opal interior, would have kept it longer if it wasn't a sunroof car... Honestly wouldn't mind doing a 93 cobra clone in that 2 tone vs solid teal (reef blue). The clear on the metalic colors didn't hold up well on the majority of fox bodies unless they where garage kept.
