That latest find looks to be all there & in really fine shape ! How many have you come across with the 4-speed automatic tranny ??

only 2 cars with the AOD have been located & it would be pretty safe to say there were only 2 made.
both AOD cars appear to be track cars. one was the back up pace car for the grand prix & also served as the main pace car for the mercury motor city 100. it had red interior. that car is crushed & no longer exsists.. the other AOD car was the back up saftey car for the grand prix and also served as the main saftey car for the mercury motor city 100 it has grey interior.

Both cars were fully loaded with the exception of a sunroof or t top.
they recieved premium sound, air, cruise, power locks.
also, they were the only 2 cars to have the motor city 100 logo cut out in the quarter panel decals. also received additional decals which only the 4 track cars received (1 -motorcraft on front bumper, 2 -cribie in quarter windows, 3 - bendix brakes/trans am series on lower doors, 4 - scca on front air dam, 5- official pace/saftey car on doors)

both cars were white

If talking about the Silver GP yes in a carport for alest the last 12-14years best I could figure. Also it was only about 3miles from parents and 6 miles from work. And funny yet see has lived in Ann Arbor or Clinton area her whole life and I grew up in Ann Arbor till 12years ago Plus she saw a white one around Adrian which I have others that knew of the car in Adrian. Oh ya and see worked at the same mall as me and drive it to work. THIS car as been around me all my life. kinda spooky!
