I agree. Back on topic lol. My late build 84 rs has some 85 stuff on it but that being said, it has black pan my 85 rs has grey my 85 gs 5.0 has black and my 89 lx has black. I really think it's a tossup. When rebuilding I went gray as that is the common route.
Also the rear ends are sketchy on what's correct. I bought a few of mine new and had very little paint. Even my Shelby the tubes and housing are nearly raw metal
