There are already too many mustangs in this world. This is like a poll asking which way the sky is. Up or Down. :P

If you are seriously looking for a TC, there is a local one. 87/88 Black, not sure of interior color or shape. It sat in their front yard for sale one night only and has been sitting back behind the house with the hood propped. I'll check it out if you like. I have been wanting to stop and take a look for myself, but I really don't need another car now.

If you got time to take a peek at it for me, I would really appreciate it. I'm going to look at a 87 TC tomorrow morning, it might be the one I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Its black w/ gray interior, py paint and bad clutch.

The bird was a fun car to own, everyone liked it, I thought I was growing tired of it but, as the months went by I realized maybe I was just tired of driving it as my daily driver.


That's the key, when I have it out I really enjoy mine... I'm itching to take a ride now, since it hasn't been out of the garage since the end of racing season back in Nov...

I stopped in the last two days after work and nobody was home. I'll try over the weekend if you haven't found anything by then.

Thanks dude, I appreciate it.

I looked at a 87 TC which was way too py, and a 95 Supercoupe that I put a deposit on and I'm buying it for my brother-in-law Saturday. The supercoupe needs a tranny so were going to put that in together and than I should be square with him on the 88 tbird buy back deal... and ready to go full time on just my project.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.
