Red and black, IIRC.

Except for the hood scoop and trim. I don't think they blacked out the
entire center of the hood until '83 and they didn't go for the two-tone
paint (rockers a different color) 'till later.

I'll guess no, but it might have been a dealer option kinda thing...

OK... But I'll head over now to check my answers and see how I did. :)

PS yerself:
Is the O-official name of the color of the blue car in this scan I took
from the page 16 of the '83 brochure
<http://www.v6stang.com/images/83-3styles.jpg>
A) Dark Academy Blue Metallic or B) Midnight Blue Metallic?

Ok, some of you got it, some of you did not quite.....Correct answers
are below:

1: Black,Red, Gray
2: No, Ford did indeed offer a limited amount in "Tu-Tone"
3: Yes, they could be ordered directly from the factory, but like the
lower front valance/airdam, they were installed by the dealer once the
car was unloaded from the car carrier

Thanks for playing.................

Ok, now I'm jealous, and I'm sure a friend of mine would be drooling badly
if he saw those pictures..

Then again, he's broke, so it doesn't really matter.

Oh, by the way, I have a set of louvers that look almost exactly like those,
only they're missing the mounting pieces. I'm pretty sure they're aluminum
(because they're not rusted yet) and look stock (came from an '85 GT). Know
anyone interested? They're available for the low, low price of "get this
thing off my porch." I'd rather not ship because of the awkward size, but I
suppose if I found a box with those dimensions, I could drop it off to get
sent somewhere, S+H paid by the recipient obviously.

Thats the colour i want to paint my 81 stang .. now that I see it I want it
even more! :)
I also was in fact looking for louvers for the rear window, whereabouts are
you located?
Oh, and any idea how hard would it be to find/buy the mounts for them?
Thx,
Brendan

Brendan,

Finding a correct set of factory style rear window louvers in
complete condition is almost impossible. You might want to check with
the late model Mustang wrecking companies to see if they have any laying
around. Think they were only available from the factory for three years,
after that, they were strictly an over the counter item.
