It is built to pass US 50 state emissions. Here's the window sticker:

When it's cold out Sync will tell you in a Canadian car, "It's cold out, put on your tuque you hoser!"

"It's cold out, eh! Put on your toque you hoser!"

Seriously though in the 80's the Canadian version of the Fox body Mustang had all metric bolts.

My son's '86 T-Top on the left. Metric bolts all around.

Canadian cars can run on D85 with just a tune eh……

That’s 85% Deer Piss in case you didn’t know.

Actually B85 ‐ 85% beer, either Molson Canadian or Labatt's Blue

I did not know that for all 86 gt's. There was an article in the Detroit Free Press I had read at the time that was explaining why people were purchasing Mustang GT's in Canada versus the US. It claimed the difference was all metric bolts. Thank you for the correction. The papers lied even then!

@Mike Pfeifer the reference to your CarFax, did you get any type of documentation about that certification to meet US criteria when you bought your S550?

I did not specifically, but I work at a dealership that does import from Canada so I got a decent explanation on how it works. I bought it here, but they did not import it, was already imported, not sure by who. I believe emissions are the same north of the border, so no conversion needs to be done with that. They do convert the instrument cluster to MPH, they take it apart and replace the film behind the needle. I’d prefer they replaced the whole thing, but what can you do?
