87 LT. Regatta Blue Automatic TC

I was able to get this TC started & running a couple of days ago and it sounded great and the transmission worked immediately when I shifted it into drive & reverse.
I originally bought this car from a storage place in Flagstaff early this year & had it towed to my home near Prescott Az. It has 118,000+ miles on it and the owner of the storage place said that it was driven in & parked several years ago when the owners put it in storage.
My plans were to part it out and then keep the engine for one of my turbo cars in case of an engine failure.

After several comments from members on various forums and my own research about the rarity of this car because of its color and optional equipment I have decided to keep it intact and offer it for sale. I am out of space & no longer have anywhere to store it at my home.
After having it towed home, paying for it & purchasing a new ignition switch, I have $885.00 in it & will let it go for that amount to folks on this forum if anyone is interested.
The tires are like new as far as tread (but they're weather checked), the correct right rear window is missing, the body has a few small dings, and the clear coat is peeling away badly. The dark blue interior is almost perfect except for some fading of the front seats near the windows. The right taillight lens has a crack and the turbo signs on both sides are missing. It has OEM wheel locks & so far I haven't found a key for them. Other than what is mentioned above & no battery, the car is complete & could make a great project car. According to autocheck is has always been an Arizona car. It has no visible rust.

I have the pics in the above thread corrected, but here are all the pics that I have of it. Most are taken before I cleaned it up:

Well, I had the 87 TC listed on Craigslist for three months asking $1000, lots of bites but no money changed hands. Two weeks ago I decided to advertise various parts off of it.
I got tons of calls about parts. At the same time was busy picking pieces from the interior like the dash instruments, console, various underhood collecto etc to list separately.
A couple of days ago a local guy came to look at it & bought the whole car for $425 plus the parts that I had picked for another $500.
I wasted three days pulling parts & now he has to re-install all of them.

I am glad that it will now be rebuilt & put back on the road instead of being parted out.
