been driving it the past 3 months while the blue one has been down.

it's even more of a POS though. eventually I'd really like to just trail rig it. or something along those lines anyway.

So, I decided that the Jeep wasn't enough of a wallet vampire and bought another car.

1988 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe.
Name: Ye7iqrHl.jpg Views: 9 Size: 46.1 KB

Turbo, 5 speed. 141k Miles. Even came with an extra cluster, a factory 140mph cluster.

Who do we know that works at Ford? I need to see if I can still get the headlight housings. (E7SZ-13007-A) and (E7SZ-13007-B) respectively.

Is that a 2.3 turbo like the mustang svo? Or is it a 3.8 with a turbo?

2.3l Intercooled Turbo with a t-5 short throw trans. The 3.8's were supercharged and called Super coupe's.

Specs: http://turbotbird.com/techinfo/tc8788specs.htm

The clutch hose blew on the drive home, so right now it has no clutch pedal. A new master/slave/hose setup is $50 shipped from rock auto though, so I'm not to worried.

I have a small list of immediately missing things I want to get, Ford Factory shift ****, Factory radio, Sun visors.
