'84 Tbird (claims TC but why the 8-holes?)

http://albany.craigslist.org/cto/2365254967.html

Havent seen enough pictures of the 4 eyes I guess :hick: I don't know what that emblem is. Could have put 8-holes on it I guess, maybe it is actually a TC.
1987 20th Anniversary Cougar, 302 "5.0" GT-40 heads (F3ZE '93 Cobra) and TMoss Ported H.O. intake, H.O. camshaft
2.5" Duals, no cats, Flowmaster 40s, Richmond 3.73s w/ Trac-Lok, maxed out Baumann shift kit, 3000 RPM Dirty Dog non-lock TC
Aside from the Mustang crinkle headers, still looks like it's only 150 HP...
1988 Black XR7 Trick Flow top end, Tremec 3550
1988 Black XR7 Procharger P600B intercooled, Edelbrock Performer non-RPM heads, GT40 intake AOD, 13 PSI @5000 RPM. 93 octane

That emblem looks like the early EFIturbo badge.  Im not sure if those wheels were the optional or not.  Looks like a very nice car.

Probably originally had the TRX wheels and they were melted down and turned into Hondas years ago...

TRX was an option.  The 8-holes were std.

You know what? I completely forgot that snowflakes didn't EXIST until 87. Of course....plenty of people on here put snowflakes on 4-eyes so I just assumed 83-88 TC's had snowflakes. :hick:

It was mine for a short time.  Should've kept it, as it was a nice rare color.

Here's where it is now.

If it is a TC I don' tthink "one of the last american muscle cars" is entirely the most accurate  description lol

I like the 8 holes. I'd still be running them if they were 15" wheels.
