Here is one for you Mowerfreak!! Remember when I showed the page from the 85-86 workshop manual and it had a silver streak with a big vortex cowl.
Well here it is, after much discussion about it with a dealership owner and 2 people who own one.
They have the same solid base and cowl as a vortex but the deck is grey and has silverstreak decals on the front and sides of the deck. But they both had red cowlings like the first 83-84 vortex and the colour scheme just does not work. I've had it suggested that they were using up the old stock.
In my opinion the cowl should be black and grey like the deck but with chrome accents or somthing like the cowl off the one given to the dealership owner for outstanding performance during the ??? mowing season.
But we have all come to the conclusion that this is the correct cowl for this model of silverstreak!!! Even the letter at the end of the cowlings part reference number is N and that is sometimes used for red, this is only what a dealership owner told me.
So when they made the first vortex the final letter for its reference number is A and once they make a variation they change the letter at the end, the Mustangs has a W (White) and the 85-86 vortex says Y (Yellow) and then N for the silverstreak and apparently N stood for red. But that's open to discussion because it sounded strange to me. But the 2 people who owned the 2 I have seen both say they got them from new and they came with red cowlings.
