New to T-birds, 1st purchase January 04, 2005, 07:06:50 PM Been a Ford fan for sometime, had 2 quad light Mustangs (carbed and injected) and currently have a 94 Lightning with a 393. Went looking for a Fox bodied stang as a daily driver and found this for $2500. 1988 5.0 bird, 64K miles, near perfect. All I have done is Pony rims and spoogehos. Let me know what you think. Not the best photo, had about a 15 minute window between rain. As I said, daily driver for now, but a HO 5.0/T-5/TC 8.8 swap sounds like a good winter project for next year. Quote Selected

I'm surprised it cost 2500, though. Quote Selected

Re: New to T-birds, 1st purchase Reply #3 – January 04, 2005, 08:42:29 PM Very nice and clean car. I like those pony wheels on it they are a nice touch. Amooset: not sure what you mean but up north a rust free, low mileage, 5.0 car like that could go for a lot more than 2500. Quote Selected

Sure it's a v6, but I only paid 1300. Maybe I got a good deal or something. 2500 just seems a little high to me. I don't mean to be a jerk, I'm happy to have new members around here, especially when I need a little help. Quote Selected
Re: New to T-birds, 1st purchase Reply #7 – January 05, 2005, 01:20:53 AM the thing is, people pay what its worth to them, and people sell for what they feel its worth, i picked up both my birds for 500 each, the red one, 3.8, high milage, but rather clean and in great running shape, the TC wasnt as great, but not bad, i feel that i got great deals, because i would have been willing to pay more (well, maybe not for the TC) Quote Selected

The V6 motor to me is junk, hey I can say that I used to own one and tore it out lol. Nice to have a fellow Gen 1 owner on the boards. Mine screams to be modded, but my bank account replies no. Got any pics of the L?LaterRonnie Quote Selected
