Same color and it has the only option I don't have, a sunroof. Mine is in much better shape and faster to boot :D :burnout:

I find it interesting that it has so many options but it doesn't have a console and floor shifter.
That thing is loaded.

Mine didn't have a console untill I put it in ;)


On T-birds in 88 you had to get a Turbo Coupe or a Sport to get the console and floor shifter. In 87 you could order an LX with a console and floor shifter and then you also got TC style seats for your LX. However in 87 you got a console and floor shifter when you got a Sport but no TC style seats, just the plane regular T-bird seats. Cofused yet :hick:

Oh and that car is loaded for an 88 LX. Mine would be loaded but it's missing the sunroof that this car has ;)

It's $800 now. If it was closer I'd buy it and hide it away incase something happend to my 88. Then I'd have a double ;)

Someone who works at Advance Auto around me has one the same color/wheel combo as your's too. It's like the ebay one with a moonroof and sadly it's deteriorating. It used to look really nice. I'll see if I can get them to join the board.

There is some kid near me that has a minty looking tue tone black/charcoal 87-88 LX. I see the car sitting all the time a few blocks from my house but I never see the owner. I'm trying to tell him about this site, or buy his car ;) .
