Well I decided I needed to get a mpg daily driver. Something in a Fox body ford. Well I found something and am going to be picking it up this weekend.

1988 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe 2.3L turbo 5 speed!

These with a little work are capabile north or 300hp and still be streetable!:evilface:

Yep they are becoming a really popular motor for swaps. This should be the third turbo coupe ive owned and my last. After Im done with college I wanna completely restore it.

I absolutely loved my silver/gray cloth '87 TC. The auto trans made it a little doggy, but still a superbly tasty all around ride. I'll buy another.
I'm jealous :tup:.

 

[1998yamahawarrior]

Ya this one used to be an auto but was swapped to a 5 speed. You'll really be jealous if I tell ya what IM paying it!!!

Well I got it home and now I can let the $$ cat out of the bag, I only paid $1300 for it. Leather, premium sound, power moonroof.

Cool, glad to hear ya got a project ya like man. I'm a Chevrolet man but I have a 84.5 20th anniversary Mustang GT that I've had since I was a senior in hs. It has a home for life. Otherwise my driveway is filled with Chevs, my wife's '07 Impala SS, my '95 Z28, my '73 Z28 & my 2 S trucks, Lol!!! I've always liked the Fox cars, I had an '85 GT with t-tops that I sold & a guy came from Tx to get it.

 

[1998yamahawarrior]

Do you ever kick yourself for getting rid of the t-top one. My buddy had one and got rid of it, then realized that they are getting alot harder to come by.

It does have a little rust, but the most important parts than normally rust are solid!! I also need to hit up the phone book and look for local re-upholstery shops to recover the seats. But Im still happy with it.

Na man, it was kinda like your situation with red headed & jar jar, I let it go to fund another project. It's Prolly better off man, I think the guy that got it really wanted to do something with it... Heck, he drove from Tx to Va to get it. That says something right there, lol!
