Anyone know if the factory ford sunroof was an option in 1985 on ASC Coupes?

I believe this `85 / last 6 vin # 616177 was invoiced 6/11/85 ordered with a ( Roof - Flip up/open air ) option. Suggested retail price $ 315.00

I don't think it was an official option but I think a few came through that way.

There is a picture of asc at a show with a model sitting on the roof of what I think is a 1985 asc coupe and she is clearly perched in a sunroof. The banner behind her says 1985.

Mine is FF615843 has sunroof, pw, pdl, pw hatch, pw fuel door. Fully documented. I talked to Sandy before he passed, he believed there were 3 with sunroof.

ibjamn: Can you post pics of your door tag, buck tag, owner card, build sheet, window sticker, etc?

Don't have owner card, build sheet or window sticker. All the others were posted a while ago when bluemclaren ( Jeremie Wagner) owned it. The only things I haven't posted is marti report and paper from ford verifying it was built with sunroof, and all power features.

I'm actually, sadly in the process of selling it.

Do you have the buck tag? Behind the radiator?

Yes. It has the buck tag. It's registered on here.

I don't yet have possession of the '85 Coupe I bought at auction, but the Marti Report says both Flip Roof AND a 2.73 gear when I thought all '85 Coupes git 3.08 (and this will get a 3.27)

Many 85s had the 2.73

Mine does.

I'm hoping that the Marti Report is off because they asked for a photo of the door tag I didn't yet provide, yet they sent me the report anyway.

If I recall correctly--and it's been thirty years, the boilerplate window sticker stated Standard Equipment, then the detail of options was on the other side, like the no-cost 3.08 upgrade.

Did you verify your Coupe has 2.73? I'd like to go 3.27, but finding a 7.5" set of gears is proving difficult. May just go 8.8 Auto trans rear and go from there.

I have the 2.73 for sure.

I have stored away 3.73 gears for the 7.5...I was/am/maybe going to do that swap down the road.

Doubtful the Marti Report is incorrect.

Here is one 3.73 on ebay:

I saw you said 3.27...why go in the middle? Just go for torque with the 3.73 or go for economy with 2.73?
