I know the feeling. I haven't really touched mine in 3 or 4 years, aside from starting it to back it out of the garage from time to time. Cant wait to see what avenue this one goes down. Its yours so I know its going to be cool.

Picked up this 83 in West St Paul MN last night. 3.8, auto overdrive, no power options, r mirror delete, no air, 179,000 miles. Well cared for one owner with original paint. Should make a good home for my 289, otherwise going to leave it alone, or try to anyway.



Wow, cool!  It's a twin to my 83 TC!  That red/tan combo is rare and seldom seen. 

Great find. One owner and in great shape.... you done good! :hick:

Thank you. It must have been, if I understood correctly he ordered this car without air and the other options. I was going through some papers he sent along and found the dealer invoice. [COLOR="#FF0000"]The TRX wheels and tires were a $649 option.[/COLOR] Total cost was $10,929. Base price was $9197.

Hmmmmm $154 for the TRX wheels and BSW tires on my 83 TC window sticker? I'd  like to see your dealer invoice. Nice that you got some paperwork too!

The line on the window sticker reads, WHLS-CAST ALUM/TRX BSW PERF.... 649.

I think it included a handling package, the car looks to have the larger frt sway bar, not sure what else that would have included.

That's a beautiful and clean car!  Meeting the original owner and getting a pic of him is especially cool.  Enjoy!

My window sticker reads the same way and I think you are right, that option probably required other items that were standard on the TC.
