Default Need Help: 1995 T/A

I am going to look at a car Saturday that I am thinking about buying. I need some help from you guys to clear a few things up for me. It is a 1995 T/A, 6 Speed. What color is this car? Was the ram-air an option on 95's or did the owner add this on? And how rare is this car?

no ram air option on 95s unless it's a comp T/A which that one is not (they were all silver with a gray stripe) some people (like myself) have added ram air to our cars. my car has a factory WS6 hood and WS6 airbox. Also it still has the stock 95 T/A wheels. all the 96-97 WS6 t-top/hardtop cars had 17" wheels. IIRC only the 97 WS6 vert had 16s with ram air.

here is a pic of the airbox. this is what that one will look like if it has the correct airbox for ram air. it might have a suncoast ram air box or something though but this is the oem one.



the color looks either to be the dark purple or maroon. as for rarity i think they are both pretty rare colors with the maroon being a little more rare? they only made ~ 10,000 T/A's in 1995.


purple



maroon

Thanks. I had the guy e-mail me more pictures today, and it does have the factory ram-air box. He also mentioned something about a factory Hurst Shifter. Is this something special?

As was said, WS6 wasn't an option until '96. Also, I don't think the Hurst shifter was a factory option until '99 (wasn't avail in '98 IIRC). It probably has a Hurst shifter "just like the one the factory put on in '99+".

Gray Leather: 1131 *
Red Leather: 377 *
White Leather: 0 *

* = Cannot validate these numbers as the source data is missing info (other colors, cloth interiors).
