'88 Sport For sale

'88 Tbird Sport, has a swapped in 5.0 HO (speed density), T5 that needs freshened up, TC 8.8, 3.55 gears. Has 10" rear drum brakes, 5 lug swap, Sn95 front stuff (1995 parts), newer rack, Energy Suspension bushings throughout the front. TC front/rear swaybars, CHE rear control arms (adj uppers, non-adj lowers)
Tires are Nitto 555 245/45 fronts, 275/40 rears on Bullits in 17". Tires are about 75-80% and I really have tried not abuse them in the little that I've driven it while they've been on the car.

The wheels aren't perfect, one has a small ding in the bead but it does not leak. Also has new rear shocks, (Fox mustang) with Chuck's adapters, as well as Chuck's engine mounts. Engine has some Flowtech headers, but the rest of the exhaust hasn't been done yet.

The interior is mostly gray, the headliner is missing, but most of the stuff is there and in pretty good shape. It has the LX style door panels (not the PITA TC stuff) and the backseat is pretty good...I think it has one burn hole in the back cushion. The dash harness isn't installed, but I suppose I could handle that if someone decided to drop by to take it for a drive.

I don't need to sell, but I'm bored with it, and at this point, I'd rather see it go to someone who'd finish instead of letting it sit there, collecting dust and dog piss on the wheels and not doing anything.

I'm just to the point where I need to trim some fat in my life, and it's one of the things in the driveway that I'm always complaining about...so...it needs to go away.

It's pretty solid under and throughout, but does need body work and paint. Jerry could have it shined up in about 30 minutes just by sneezing.

Anyway, for 2500 you could take it home.

I'll wash the dust off and get some pics posted up here tomorrow afternoon. But for those who know my time with the car, it's as it has been for the last 6 months or so..only an inch of dust on it.
Oh yeah, it does need a windshield. I won't discuss WHY, but it does need glass. I'd toss one in but never have found a parts car locally. Clean clear Missouri title in my name, no liens or bullshiznit.

If i can't sell it, I will part it and sell the parts.

PM me for a faster way to contact me. Rather not ship it, but would be willing to if a serious long distance buyer wanted it. I'd say it would be fit to drive but A, the windshield, B the exhaust (or lack thereof) and C, the trans may/may not last.

Thanks for looking.
Beau.
