hey guys, im new here and looks like a good website. im just starting to get into these turbocoupes. im in the market for one right now and im looking for an 88 turbocoupe with low miles. im a big foxobdy mustang guy and had like 8 5.0 mustangs in 2 years. im a newb at this 2.3l turbo stuff so the more you can teach me and answer my questions will be great. as of right now i have a 89gt im parting out and im building a 5.0 motor for my next stang. i owned a 86 turbocoupe that my cousin swapped a 5.0 5 speed drivetrain in it and i put a set of welds on it and it looked sick. well see you guys around.

welcome, keep your eyes focused on the for sale part at the bottom of the forum. Good stuff usually turns up there. Most guys find the rockin' deals on ebay when the TC's show up with 30K miles every now and then.

Welcome! Good luck in your search for a TC. Being up north, good luck in finding one without lots of rust. That's the tough part. Anyway, welcome again!
