Hi guys, I just have a question about options on an SC. I have recently purchased a '91 SC 5-SPD Black on Black Leather. The car has no moonroof, no power antenna, no keypad(keyless entry), no lighted sunshade mirrors, no cornering lights. The car does however have leather, dual power front seats, JBL sound with sub and cd, and the VMM.

I have owned 8 SC's and they all had moonroofs, keyless entry, lighted sunshade mirrors, power antenna, and all but one had the cornering lights.

Is it rare to have these options stripped off?

I had to look long and hard to find a car with these options, I didn't want the moonroof or the keypad entry and the car had to be a 5-SPD. My search is over. The car comes with a recently rebuilt tranny and a brand new FORD clutch, pressure plate and throw-out bearing. There is a new DIS module in the box in the trunk, as well as both lower control arms, fuel filter, botttle of SC fluid and 2 repair manuals (1 chilton and one FORD service manual). The car has some small rocker issues under the skirts but I will be replacing those with fresh metal over the winter. The body is near perfect, the only rust is on the hood from stone chips, easy fix. The seats look almost brand new, no rips, and just a slight(almost not visible) amount of scuffing on the drivers side bolster.

All this and I managed to pick the car up for $450 including all of the new parts/manuals in the trunk. I will get some pics up soon.

I had many an SC and options that vary are:

Sunroof
Keyless
Cornering lamps
Fold down rear seat
Leather
Auidio Systems
Antenna
Transmission

No rhyme or reason either. I currently have a '90 AOD with bottom line audio, but a power antenna, cornering lamps, no sunroof, no fold down, no leather, no keyless.

'90 XR7 AOD has leather, fold down, JBL, antenna, cornering lamps, roof, no keyless.

By my '93 5sp has a roof, keyless, leather, fold down, JBL, power antenna but not cornering lamps.

I believe all SC's have 8way power seats, full instrumentation, VMM and lighted vanity mirrors, doughnut spare as standard equipment. Sumbuddy ran off with your sunshades.......

BTW - An MFS from a car without cornering lamps will not function with an MFS from one with this option. My '93 (no C-lamps) MFS is really sloppy and I swapped with one from a '90 with C-lamps and no worky.

I thought you had a line on an Anny? Wherezit?

Upon closer inspection I found that there was some very extensive body (bondo) work into both rear quarters. Unfortunately the work involved in replacing those is far too great, I think I did ok with the one I found....

Zat the Anny your talking about? Was it due to rust or an accident? Is the rest of the car clean? Your time is appreciated.

The car looked fairly clean upon initial inspection but a closer look popped up some problem areas. The floors were a little patched up (poorly) as well as the rockers. The whole car had been resprayed all black, also not a quality job. I could deal with those problems, they can be easily remedied. The rear quarters were bondo'ed over pretty good/bad, from the look of it there had been some sort of rear end collision, not sure how bad but bad enough that I wouldn't touch it.

Hope this helps.

You should be a treasure hunter...were do you find these deals? IT a steal, Trevor. Let me know if you are selling it because...just because. I have some extra 600 right now:rolleyes: ;) :D
Bruce, I don't believe that all SC's came with VMM...mine doesn't have one!:(
