88 TC for sale / part - performance parts

The car is located in Greensburg PA, roughly 30 miles east of Pittsburgh in the SW part of the state. The car has roughly 104K miles, but there are some issues. The front strut towers frame rails are in pretty poor shape. I had not noticed they were getting this bad until my recent quality time under there swapping turbo's (twice). There is also a small amount of rust around the passenger wheel lip and lower quarter, although that's not terrible. I do not believe the car would pass inspection next year because of the strut tower issues, so I am selling this as a parts car. this would be a great opertunity to swap all of these parts to a nice chassis and have a consistant, 13 second TC.  I AM NOT PLANING TO PART THIS CAR YET.

It is currently running with an IHI turbo right now, runs and drives good. As I said, this would make somebody an excellent parts car because of all of the new / rebuilt / upgraded parts and pieces.

General - Maroon with red interior.

Engine: Stock short block (questionable), ported big valve head with ranger roller cam and adjustable cam pulley (should have the valves lapped and the guides look at), Bob Lee gutted/ ported intake set, AFPR, plus all good working stock components. narrow 4 row radiator with pro-form single electric cooling fan, operates off EEC, AC switch, and built in thermostat. Car also has mallory ignition, but that IS NOT FOR SALE.

Exhaust: 3" ETS downpipe (no cat) into 3" ATR SS single exhaust. All of this is in very good shape.

The AC system was converted to R-134A and work well. I recently topped the system off, and it blows cold.

Trans: Very good T-5 transmission with UPR blu thunder shfter. Ram power grip clutch pressure plate, etc last year. There is also a FMS driveshaft loop under the car. There are also Chucks sub-frame connectors, but I doubt you could get them out the way we welded them in

New walboro 255 HP in tank pump with working fuel gauge and new tank straps.

Rearend: 3:55 geared 8.8 with fresh traclok clutches, New rotors, all rebuilt calipers, brakets, sliders, etc this spring. New parking brake cable, and it works!

Suspension: Stock front with Monroe struts, Rear is CHE tubular upper and lower control arms, new Moog cargo coils with poly isolators. this set-up hooked to 1.7X 60's on the strip.

Decent snowflake wheels with very good 245/50/16 spoogeho tires. I also have a set of spare snowflakes with 225/60/16 tires that could go with the car.

Both doors are basically rust free on the bottoms, and I have swapped to the base t-bird type door panels. These are in very good shape, and dont have loose parts. (although there are a bunch of TC panel parts arounde here). Fenders, hood, header, trunk lid, etc are all in pretty good shape too. A few dings in places, but nothing terrible. Basically with the exception of the core unit body, the parts are good.

Decent red seats, both coverted to manual operation, new aftermarket red carpet, 200 kph canadian speedometer with brushed overlay, and odometer reads in miles. Red dash cap, fits well, A-pillar gauge pod with 30"-0-30# boost gauge and A/F gauge. These are autometer phantom series white faced. Proform shift light, good shift boot, and Mustang bullit shift .

Car has a Pioneer AM/FM/CD with stock sized Blaupunkt speakers in the dash, doors and deck. Sound good to me, but I'm not a stereo guy

I'm sure I am forgetting stuff here. Since we need to list a price, lets say $2,500.00 OBO for the car as is to start discussions, but this is negotiable.

I would like to keep several parts off the car if I can make the right deal with someone. I would like to keep my head, Intake set-up, Radiator and fan, Ignition box (not included either way), and boost control valve from under the hood. From under the car I would like to keep my drive shaft loop. And I would like to keep the shifter, , and shift light, although all of this could be discussed. If I can keep these specific parts, we could talk about prices in the $1,400.00 range as a starting point for discussion. I am also open to a multitude of option in between these points, so lets talk.

I also have LOTS of TC specific spare parts, as well as stock type engine parts that can be available for the right deal. If you made it this far, please see this page for pictures of the car and several of the parts and click the links for thunderbird, thunderbird part, and parts for sale.
