85 LTD LX (5.0 HO sleeper) in Virginia

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=009&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=190199641214&rd=1

I would love to fix it up and make it my next DD...

Only problem is its been sitting right there for 6 years, terminal rust is a big possibility.

He added pics of the rust on his ebay ad.  Small pics but it doesn't look bad at all.

those were sweet cars.  but i remember they had the worst color choices on them. mostly some pastel type.  seems like black or white was the best.

Did they come with T-bird 8 holes as an option?

I don't think the 10 hole was an option becasue they all had 14 inch wheels and 10 hole are 15 inch.  I put 87 Snow flakes on mine, I think it looks much better.  I hate the polycast, seems like a stupid design to me and are very heavy.

This one on eBay seems like a hunk to me.

The Auto HO.  Nice power but nothing real exciting.  But they do handle and corner nice.
