This one looks pretty good except the rust at the bottom of the doors and front lower 1/4.

Could this be the mythical silver-blue Mach 1 or am I just color blind? I think its the latter.

Not a TC but deserves a mention. A boxbird with a 2.3t would own.

Im keeping my eye on this one actually, cause my gf is gonna need a car here very soon, and I think it would be awesome if we both had TC's. Its also the most local car and it looks pretty good except it looks to have some slight rust at the bottom of the door in the passenger side pic.

Only problem is she absolutely positively HATES the red interior to the MAX. I think I could still get her in it though. Shes gonna need a car here within a month or two though, and Ive been looking around for her. I do NOT want her to have some plain jane mobile that everyone else has, no cavaliers or escort (except maybe a gt) or whatnot, I really want her to have a car with CHARACTER. Something unique. I was originally looking for a 91-94 Mercury Capri turbo for her. She likes them, they small, pretty quick, and you dont see them too often. Also looked for some turbo probes, but Ive been led to this TC now. Its a little big for her but I know this car, I know its reliable, and I know how to work on it.

First one's roof structure was hacked for that stupid sunroof so no dice there.

Second one is standard Silver. But it is CLEAN. I like the options it has and the Charcoal/Raven leather looks well maintained.

Last one I agree on the red cloth, it's bleh. I LOVE red leather though :D The 1/4 panel crunch looks rough, but it's a factory moonroof car.

I think I've seen about 7 different TC's here in my town.  I know where three are sitting at, all white waiting for buyers.

Love that 1st one... I'm strangely attracted to those dark metallic blue/charcoal colors on these cars... :hick:
But the rust is bad... Notice the hole before the drivers rear wheel?...
