T-Bird/Cougar Parts & Cars FOR SALE / 1985 Thunderbird turbo coupe
1985 thunderbird turbo coupe, runs, drives, it will need a new clutch soon as it slips a little. Has new battery, brakes, heater core, tires, radiator, Gillis boost controler, timing belt, fuel pump......

$1200

I've been driving this to work just because it's fun to drive, still needs a little cosmetic work.  I have to many projects and cars and need to thin things out a little.  I hate that this is the one that has to go, but bigger projects call.

T-Bird/Cougar Parts & Cars WANTED / '85 turbo coupe fuel sending unit
After sitting for 14 years (with 15 gal. if fuel in it :yuck: ) the inside of the fuel tank was a mess. I have most of it cleaned up, but the sending unit is toast.

Does anyone have a working sending unit for sale or know where I can get one?

Engine Tech / Turbo differences
So I have a '85 with what I am hearing has a t3 turbo. The '87-'88 has an IHI turbo. What is the better turbo? I you were going to do a turbo upgrade on a bone stock turbo coupe, what would you use and why?

Ready for some schooling! :D

User Rides / Finally got picts of the 85 t-bird turboCoupe
So here are some picts of my $450 dollar wonder. The radiator was trashed, fuel pump doesn't work, and it had a rodent issue in the trunk, but hey...........it was cheap! It does run though, we use a can of starting fluid to get it up on the trailor, so that is a plus and it is relatively straight, just really dirty! Luckily I have some old parts laying around from my '89 Mustang after it was upgraded so hopefully this will be a cheap runner. :D

Right now I have to get the Mustang ready to race, so I won't get to start on this till sometime next month. Should be fun though!

Lounge / New guy sayin' hello!
Hello, my name is Adrian and I am hanging out here in Kansas City, Missouri. Just thought I would drop in and introduce myself.

I just picked up a 1985 turbo coupe (from bfe Iowa) that is going to need some work, and that might be an understatement. I am sure I will be spending some quality time here researching, upgrading and putting it back together, but I enjoy a good challenge.

I had an '86 turbo coupe many years ago and am looking forward to getting this one back on the road. Sure I will meet some of you soon and hope some of the questions don't come off sounding to stupid as I come up to speed.:D
