    Not much. The color was unique to the Pacific Coast Roadster special edition and it has suede inserts on the seats. There is also a little plaque in the glove box I believe that has it's limited edition number.

    Actually, most of the special edition Thunderbirds had very little to distinguish them.

      Billy None of our Thunderbirds are regular Thunderbirds

      Seriously, though, Dot's Retro Bird information at www.portholeauthority.com will give you the lowdown on the differences between Premium and Deluxe, different years, and the Special Edition models.

            Billy, welcome to TBN. The entire interior of the PCR is different, it's lighter than the standard interior. Also, the PCR hardtop is a different lighter color than the car body. The painted FORD hoop on the wheel caps are not white, but match the body color. As Sally suggested, Dot's site is an excellent resource for more information.

              Thanks i will have to check out that site. The salesman had said it was PCR but i believe it is the deluxe version instead.

              I still believe i got a good deal on it compared to some of the other ones we looked at around town. They actullay brought this one in from Flordia for us. It had less miles and the body was in alot better shape then the others. It only has one scratch on the whole car.

                    You're biggest mistake was thinking a Ford salesman knows anything about Thunderbirds! I had one ask me me "What are you driving now" while I was walking around the showroom. When I said a "PCR" he asked me who made it, this was in '04 while they were selling them as new.

                    See my gallery for pics of the only color PCR's came in.

                              Greg, I wouldn't say that in or around a group of NM, 007, PCR, and Cashmere owners without your life insurance premium paid ...

                              Billy, it goes without saying the salesman is a ****** idiot. As the others have stated, you have a beautiful 03 Mountain Shadow Grey (MSG). The Pacific Coast Roadster (PCR) was a 2004 model.

                              BTW, is the interior black or saddle?
