New daily driver Reply #32 – August 02, 2008, 10:41:18 PM Quote from: kingcars;230284That's true! Although 1WLDBRD did it in like 2 days...crazy bastid! I couldn't do it that fast.LOL, thanks!... :D :hick: when the car in question is your daily driver, and you are to lazy to walk to the end of your driveway to get the mail.... you tend to get your car up and running ASAP... (that is a complete exageration but still.... I HATE walking more then I have to:D ) Quote Selected
New daily driver Reply #33 – August 02, 2008, 10:58:50 PM Man that is a cushy looking ride.Not sure if I could drive a "stock" Fox personally. Even if the drivetrain was left alone, I'd have to do something about the suspension/brakes. But that's just me though, I can't leave well enough alone. :pI understand about not wanting your driver to be a project though. Quote Selected
New daily driver Reply #34 – August 02, 2008, 11:09:37 PM nice. I wish I could find a decent one. Instead I have to try and swap the 232 for the 5.0l motor. I don't think its going to be fun... Quote Selected
New daily driver Reply #35 – August 04, 2008, 07:16:18 PM Quote from: dominator;230077Lookin good.I do see a few options missing though off the top,leather,factory alarm,floor console(not sure on that one as it may have only been sport)factory aluminum wheels,moonroof(unable to see)?Quote from: TurboCoupe50;230092AFIK, no fact alarm after '86, the LX didn't have a leather or floor shifter option...Factory alarm was gone after 86.87-88 LX cars could be ordered with leather. My 88 LX is a factory leather car.In 87 you could order a LX with a console, or a console and floor shift (which also included TC style sport seats) but NOT in 88. You could actually get a raven interior in an 87 LX (I have seen one and it has the correct door tag code)Looks like you've picked up a nice daily. Just tune it up and you're ready to go :D Quote Selected

New daily driver Reply #37 – August 04, 2008, 10:56:41 PM 14's are staying, sorry.I actually have two sets of snowflakes sitting behind my shed, my buddy has something like 4 sets of 10 holes, and I could have a free set of 14" phone dial wheels. I don't want them. Car looks fine on the 14" chrome hubcaps. Need a small amount of chrome to set off the rest of the chrome on the car.Lou, do you have pictures of the leather LX interior handy? I've never seen it first hand. I do know you could get the console and floor shifter in 87, as long as it was a 5.0 if I remember correctly. I wasn't very sure about 88 though. Quote Selected

I do know you could get the console and floor shifter in 87, as long as it was a 5.0 if I remember correctly. I wasn't very sure about 88 though.Yep I do have pics. This is from a show I was at last Aug (it's my car btw ) The seats are a combo of perforated and non perforated leather. You couldn't get a console in a LX in 88, I just added it to mine. In 87 AFAIK you could get a center console with either the V6 or V8 LX (as I have seen both with a center console) but you could only get the floor shifter with the V8 in the LX. The odd thing is that I've seen quite a few base 87 T-birds with a V6, almost no options, but they have a center console. The more loaded up base V6 cars seem to always have consoletts.

New daily driver Reply #41 – August 07, 2008, 06:39:59 PM Just wondering but does it have power recline? I've yet to see an 87-88 T-bird LX that doesn't have power recline. Quote Selected
New daily driver Reply #42 – August 07, 2008, 11:10:35 PM Nice! But those wire hubcaps would be gone in 10 minutes if it were mine. Mainly because I already have a set of turbine hubcaps. :hick: Quote Selected
New daily driver Reply #43 – August 08, 2008, 03:39:20 PM I paid 1000 bucks for the car. I went to look at the car friday, he had 1500 on the windshield, went and looked at it with the owner there sunday, and he had 1000 on the windshield. I was happy with that.Yeah, the car has power recline. The driver side panel is busted, as is the switch, but it still works properly. Quote Selected
