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.

Its really not that bad off. The body looks good, don't see any rust. Its a 5.0 with digi dash, and its one of 89 cars made. The interior and a new top would be a walk in the park compared to a lot of restorations around here.

If it runs and doesn't have a million miles, I think its worth every penney.

It looks like the top just went bad which caused the interior rot. You could prevent that by, ya know, storing it indoors.
