My local junkyard has 3 850's on the lot. 2 of them are listed as T-5R, both listed as 95 M.Y., auto trans, one is black and other is listed as brown (olive green ?).
Is there a VIN range for T-5Rs?
I'm planning to visit the yard soon for bits off the third (NA ) 850 they have.
What should I look for if they're listed correctly?
T-5R's at local PnP

Not sure about specific T5-R parts (Aside from the ECUs, maybe), but if you find a good DS front corner light housing, we need one for the wife's '97.

look for 58 as the engine code in the VIN it will start YV1L(S or W) 58*********** They are both "just" regular Turbos.

Desirable parts from T5Rs (at least here in the UK) are the seats (these are the Porsche collab ones), the wood trim on the dash and centre console, the wheels, and the ECU. Bumpers in good condition are also worth grabbing.
