Topic: Question about my cowl tag...

[TxBandit911]

Ok, so I finnaly got around to looking at my cowl tag...and I am a little confused...

Everything looks right, it has the WS4 code, 36L and 36U for paint (Firethorn red). Now, this car had '75 firethorn seats in it, along with a red dash, door panels, carpet and seatbelts, all the interior panels were red including the console. Now...the cowl tag shows TR 97N and from what I have researched, that is Black/White...I cant picture this Firethorn T/A with a Black/White interior...

Could this be correct? If need be I'll put up a pic of the cowl tag...

What year is the car? What are the rest of the numbers on the cowl tag?

[TxBandit911]

ok, here are all the numbers...

ST76 2FS87 N    212323BDY

TR    97N  A51    36L  36U PNT

04D    A31   WS4  FIR

860115

That's everything in the order listed...I was happy about the 04D date code, I was born May 3rd 1976, so that's pretty close...it's my birthday car!!!

Here is where I am confused....Secondary Interior color? But above it has the 97N Black/White Interior colors....I dont get what this part means...I would like to figure out what the interior of my car is supposed to be...

The decoding of 97N to Black/White is incorrect. THe 91N is Black/White, the 97N is a Firethorn Tetra CF/Madrid CF. It is diff from the normal 71N (Firethorn w/ white seats, in that it is complete Firethorn.
