New member with pics of car

Hey guys i just found this site. I have recently purchased my first Tbird. It is an 88 TC that is black with black and gray interior. Here are a few pics of my car. I have had several mustangs, and actually have an 82 glx i am working on building a 408 stroker for, and this is my daily, but am getting the bug to do a few upgrades to the TC which will make the stang sit even longer. Oh what i would give to have endless amounts of cash. :D  Anyways, here are some pics.









let me know what yall think, and oh, by the way, Hello all.

 that sux. Yea i was thinking of selling it, though i have only had it about 3 weeks, but i was out at one of our local tracks the other night with it, and got several people talking about it. Also tonight before i came home i drove by the local ricer hang out (other cars hang out too, just like to drive thru and laugh) and heard someone say as i drove by, " now there is a sleeper car right there" I just laughed to myself and kept going. It seems like a nice daily, just need to get the tranny rebuilt as 2nd grinds everytime you down shift. Drives me up the wall.

You sell it only if i take a trip down to fort worth and buy it otherwise keep it and i won't have to make any roadtrips and i will just stay in Amarillo.

Even mine was still a sleeper theres only 3 or 4 in my town fixed up and one i get the cougar there are none in this city fixed up at all in a city of like 200,000+ people thats not bad i want to buy a Turbocoupe someday.

Also for 1969 coupes there are less than 10 in ok shape and only maybe 5 or 6 fixed up or in good shape my dads Mustang has a 331 and my old engine block.

Welcome tot he board.
Very nice bird you have there. You will find there are many here with a lot of knowledge about these cars. This is, for the most part, a really good group of people to be involved with.

BTW, I am Karen, I own the cat you see in my sig line. Haven't had a bird yet, but wouldn't mind getting one eventually.
