How many without running lights?

Re: How many without running lights?

Believe it or not, but the dirt has a red look to it in Colorado (especially when wet).

"Colorado" is a Spanish term for "reddish color". The dirt makes the river reddish, Spanish explorers named the river, and the territory and eventually the state took its name.

Dot,
I'll check when I get home, but I'm pretty sure it says Colorado Red. The reason I think that is when I bought it, the thought ran through my mind "What the heck is red in Colorado that they would name a color after it?" . Weird, I know. Since I am new here how would I get the info from quickdraw? Just email? I am interested to know the production numbers without the SPLs.

Sent you a pm, Steve.

In late summer of '05, after the T-bird had been discontinued, I remember seeing probably 5 or 6 '05 leftover birds in local Ford dealers that didn't have the supplemental lights or hardtops. It seemed to me that Ford was making the last few without some of these items because they were just using up whatever they had left on the line. I have no idea if that was really the case, but that is the impression it gave me.

Being from Canada I had to add the supplimental lights. Over $600.00 to have them installed at our local Ford dealer.

As for numbers without the SPLs (short term for supplemental parking light), only quickdraw can get the exact numbers.

Looking for other things-found this!

Welcome Steve:

BTW, my screen name come from being the " emphatic no " guy in the IT dept. Every outlandish request that is cost or technology prohibative ends up in my hands. Some folks don't want to upset users by saying no to them, and some users won't take no for an answer.

Back in the 80's we had an IT Manager with a very thick accent and no matter what type of problem you might be having with your computer ( I mean smoke could be coming from the monitor, sparks from the keyboard ) and his first response was always....Did you reeeeebbooooot ?

Re: How many without running lights?

Greetings all!
Forgive the newbie question, but I am curious about this. I've had my '02 Bird since '03 (from dealer). The car has no running lights and just blank disk where the running light are. I have never seen another Thunderbird like this. How would I find out how many were made this way? Any help would be appreciated.
