the old EXP's had halo's if i remember correctly. a few years later you could get red piping to break up the seats if you had a GT

here is a tasty bit of info. some turbo coupes had the same seats as the halo seats from the 85 & 86 stangs in many different colors they just diddnt have the halo headrest. And the cougar seats are the same as the 87+ Gt seats just in leather and other styles of fabric but not in tweed..

i am absolutely sure they are NOT the exact same seats. they are very similar but not the same. i think the backs may be the same but the bottoms/rails certianly are not here are some pics:

ESCORT: (these dont have the red piping, but some did)

couldnt tell ya for sure, never had them apart

based on what i can see in pics, they appear to be identical, as do the reclining lever so one could assume that the odds of the mechanisms being the same are pretty good...

worth a shot id say
