    Default 1988 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe. Not an import, but a great, Cheap project Car.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pics Are Attached!
    Ok, so at the moment, the Thunderbird Is for sale. Before i say anything else, the Head Gasket is Blown. The car still runs, but you get the idea (very sh1tty). But, At the moment, the car is up for $850 <<OBO>>. This is for now. A member of FoxTbirdCougarForums.com has a motor that i am contemplating buying and dropping in with my rebuilt turbo (the other motor is also out of a 1988 TC Tbird), and if i do not sell it as it sits in a month or so (maybe a little longer), i will For Sure buy the motor, put it in, and raise the price to around $1500. OR, If you would like, i will put the buyer in contact with the seller of the motor, he is in Tennessee, and the motor is Very Well Priced. At that point it will go in Autotrader Also, so the locals can have their chance to get it. O.k, here is some info.

    1988 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe, Black with Blue Cloth. 173k miles.
    Pro's:
    -5 speed, Strong clutch, Tranny has NO grinds.
    -The Paint is in pretty good shape, Esp. for an 88, with only a couple of small chips
    -No noticable dents or dings, one or two about the size of a quarter that are only noticable when it is waxed and in the sun.
    -The Interior is Perfect
    -Dual power seats, Dual power mirrors, Power Sunroof, Power locks, Power Windows, And keypad that unlocks the doors and pops the trunk... ALL OF THESE WORK GREAT.
    -Cd Player
    -Windows Tinted, with previous owners reciepts.
    -IHI rebuilt, Have receipts
    -NEW Ignition Switch
    -NEW starter.
    -Alternator Has been replaced.
    -New rear end bearings and rear axle bearings that have 3k on them, and at that time, Rear Disks Were Turned.
    -The Trak Lok Is still holding up great. (meaning LSD, Posi, whatever you prefer.)
    -All lights, tails, blinkers ect. work great, NO wiring issues whatsoever.
    -ABS, 4 wheel discs, Ect. Standard for 1988 TC's.
    Snowflakes=16" wheels (standard), i painted 'em black, and i personally think they look sweet.

    Cons.
    -Well, the head gasket is blown, or course.
    -Two Front tires are needed.
    -That is all i can think of really. Motor is the main downfall, but like i said, i have a line on a very well priced motor if the buyer is interested.

    All cleaned up. Pics do not do the interior justice, but it IS immaculate. The passenger side window is down, and you can tell the difference with the tint from the other side. It's pretty nicely done.
    Oh im selling it for funding, I bought an FB Rx7 Shell Sunday, and i am going to swap in a 302/t5 combo in it, so i will have an import, but with some domestic insides... Stay tuned for that...

    Have a Turboford enthusiast coming to look at it sunday probably, says it's practically sold, if not then i will still contemplate the motor. It will sell faster with one, but i really don't want to hassle. TTT
