1988 5.0L 5 Speed Thunderbird

Must sell, got too many projects on the go.

You guys know the car, has a RAM HD clutch, BBK adjustable cable and quadrant, mustang headers and complete duals, with Cherry bomb Glass paks.  (Sounds really tough, can get a video of it tomorrow)  BRAND NEW $1000 pioneer CD player/amp/subs.

The bearings are shot in the motor, (my stupidity/fault) but still runs fine and has lots of power.  (just knocks like hell)  Will throw in a complete and excellent running 5.0L HO (out of a 91 cougar).  The only reason I am selling it instead of swapping it myself, is because it is getting too cold to work on it now, and I dont have a decent garage to keep me warm.

Asking $1800 with stereo or $1300 without.

Not parting.  I just put the motor and tranny in about a month ago.  If the T5 does come out again, it is to replace the 5.0L with a HO motor.
