Reply #2 – December 12, 2006, 11:27:07 PM Yeah, but I've come to miss the better suspension, and Aggressive look of the Turbo Hood and Front End, the Snowflake wheels, and the Turbo Interior. Granted, if I had found a Sport v8, I probably would be satisfied due to the interior, and dual exhaust, but I got an LX, and really want a Turbo again. Sure, air was a problem, but that could have been solved if I had waited to get R-12 in the system, instead of the R-134 that was in it.Therefore, I am going to sell this car or trade it if i find a willing Turbo Coupe owner. I figured I would come here first before putting it up on Auto Trader. Quote Selected

You wouldn't happen to have a Jon Moller working on your car would you? He's a buddy of mine that lives in AZ and he called to ask me about a customer's car that was a funky color with a "purple" interior, TC door panels, and a bench seat. Couldn't be that many Rosewood cars could there?I know of quite a few TC's, but you're going to have to travel to get them. Quote Selected
