LOL, ya I saw that too. He's got a couple of facts wrong, but at least he didn't steal images and facts from Rich (Most not have found his site).

Great snag on the gauges

That is funny. I always wonder how someone can say the have the only one of something. I have seen others in that color. My car had about the same milage when I bought it.

It has a air dam like a 84/85. I've seen enough '83's with them now to believe they were original from the factory (on some cars) and not dealer add ons.

I e-mailed him and told him:

1). thats not the only 83 t-type with that color combo. (I sent the link for Rich's car.)

2). There was 3732 made, not 2900.

I think I came acrossed as an azzhole though cause this is the message I got back.

First of all , You don't have to be an ahole about it !!! Second of all , This is a friends car and this is what i have been told . I will look at your link and also if you are so sure about the amount made . I thank you for all the info . Just doing a friend a favor . By the way are you interested in the car or just have alot of time on your hands . Maybe you need to go out and get a job

Hmmmm..... guess I should be more persuasive next time.

I could e-mail the guy with the Riv and be a bigger ahole than all of you guys put together.I think they made 1200 or so Riv T-Types in 82. I also parted an 83 with that color combo only it had a butt cookie brown split bench/column shift. At the same time I parted out my 83 4.1 car with the same color combination and it was a bucket seat/floor shift car with the same BCB interior. Sometimes I think half of the 83's made were the briar brown color. That gauge cluster is hard to find. I dont know which one is rarer. A fuel gauge with the OD shift pattern or one without any shift pattern. 83 was the only year for either. If you had a floor shifted 82 and older Regal you got two shift indicators. One on the fuel gauge and one on the shifter.

Thats standard equipment on these cars. I'll have to post some pics if I can find them. I bought a 82 GN/SC that had a birds nest up by the wiper motor. I had a Riv T-Type that the mice made a few nests under the hood insulator. Every time I popped the hood to steal a part I had to deal with turds all over the top of the motor. Just before I sent it to the scrapper I noticed the mice were gone for good. I found a molted snakes skin hiding on top of the motor. What was spooky is that it was from a rattlesnake. And this was in FL. Now I have to watch my a$$ whenever I work on the other cars that have been sitting.
