T-Bird/Cougar Parts & Cars FOR SALE / 87/88 Turbo Coupe Passenger Door * Free*
I have a dark blue passenger door off of an 87/88 Turbo Coupe that I want out of my garage.  It's free to whoever wants to pick it up.  It still has the glass in it.  No mirror.  Still has the Turbo Coupe trim on it (minus the Turbo Coupe emblem which always falls off).  I was going to use it on a car but it was sold many years ago.  It has a small amount of paint bubbling along the bottom seam.  It is better than 99% I have ever seen in the junk yards.  I'm in Mt. Airy, Maryland.  About 25 minutes east of Frederick, MD.  Pick up only. You can email me at jharne09@gmail.com

T-Bird/Cougar Parts & Cars FOR SALE / For Sale: 83 TC w/ 5.0 Conversion $950
1983 Turbo Coupe with 5.0 HO conversion.  The car is located in Silver Spring, MD.  New asking price, $950.

I purchased this car almost two years ago from a relative of my wife.  It had been used as a daily driver since the late 90's (about 10 miles per day).  Before that it was owned by my father in law who assisted with the conversion which was done sometime in the mid 1990's.  The 5.0 came out of a low mileage 1987 Mustang GT. 

Since I have had the car I have patched the front floor pans and replaced the entire panel around the bottom of the back glass.  Last winter I pulled the rear and gas tank.  I installed a 190 lph Walbro fuel pump and a new sending unit.  I put new polyurethane bushings in the rear control arms and painted and cleaned the underside of the car.  It has the original 3.42 ration 7.5" rear. 

This spring I pulled the engine.  I put new valve seals and all new gaskets in the engine.  I replaced the water pump, rear main seal, timing chain, and heater hoses.  The engine was very clean inside with no ridge at the top of the cylinders.  I'm not sure but it probably has around  100,000 miles on it.  The engine is completely stock.

I also installed new rear brake lines, hoses, and wheel cylinders.  I replaced the front brake hoses and the master cylinder. 

The car has new carpet, a new headliner, and replacement front seats out of a an 84 Turbo Cougar, new headlights, and a functional power antenna. 

The doors are rusty along the bottom.  I don't think they are usable but I do have two rust free doors (one blue, one green) that go with the car.  The original hood (now gold) is gone as well as the original trunk lid (now baby blue). 

V8 T-5 transmission that won't stay in 3rd gear.  There is an off road H-pipe on the car with no cats.  The lers and tailpipes are stock 5.0 LX units which were taken off of a brand new mustang back in 1990. 

There are various trim pieces which are included but not on the car right now.  The original fog lamps are also included but not on the car. 

The car looks better in pictures than in person.  It had a really nice paint job done years ago but it needs to be done again.  The car is originally white with a gray interior.  The body has somewhere near 115,000 miles as best as I can remember. 

I have a clear title in hand.  PM me with an email address for additional pictures or with questions.  Thanks,
