1988 Thunderbird TC 5 speed

88 turbocoupe just finished. Has the 2.3 turbo motor. everything has been redone basically. motor was checked over before build up and everything was good. head was ported, new valves, springs and guides and all that stuff. ranger roller cam with followers. intakes have been gutted and knife edged, felpro 1035 head gasket with new head bolts, stainless header with a dodge 5.9 diesel turbo also known as a holset, turbosmart external wastegate, custom downpipe to a 3" custom magnaflow exhaust exiting behind passenger rear tire, ranger rad, electric fan, custom intercooler piping that has been heat wrapped, volvo front mount intercooler, turbosmart boost controller set at 17lbs now, body is in good shape but does have a couple spots that are starting to show. paint is great and shines really good.floors are in great shape since these things usually rotted out. has a 5 bolt swap using sn95 parts, 4 wheel disc brake with sn95 rear brakes, braided flex lines up front, 2000 gt rims with a 245/45/17 up front and a 275/45/17 in the rear. has 2000 gt suspension in it which lowered it quite a bit. car pulls really hard at 3700rpm for its size and weight. interior is really good shape and blue/grey in colour, all power options work. exhaust bangs on the torque box slightly but just needs to be adjusted and have proper hangers installed.

This is the car I just bought for $4200, the reason I am triing to sell it is I just found out I am going to be a dad again, and I cant afford a toy right now. I just fixed a lot of little issues the car had and am just asking for not even my money back. installed a $700 pioneer CD player and sony Xplod speakers. $4500 firm with the deck, or $4200 without.
car is in Dunnville. car DOES NOT come with the heat extractor hood....  Comes with the stock one.

where is everyone getting these heat extractor hoods from? I've seen them on this TC and on a white one in the pictures from Cat Jam.

There is only one in existence. It's the same hood but painted to match two different cars.
It's Gumby's fault.
