Hello Reply #5 – September 02, 2009, 06:44:33 AM My dad got me into them shortly before he passed away. I ended up getting one after the fact just because it would be something to remember him by, and then they ended up being my favorite cars! :) Quote Selected

My son is abut your age and we're partners in our TC parts. I remember reading your tale of woe back then and we decided you needed a freebie. Glad everything worked out. This is a great forum with lots of helpful people. Remember to check back, it will be worth it. Quote Selected
Hello Reply #8 – September 02, 2009, 09:03:02 AM I still appreciate that to this day, even though that particular car was a lost cause. It was literally one BIG problem after the next, all the way up until I sold it as a parts car for 400 measly dollars. I ended up getting a T/C in Virginia after that with 80K on it.. sold that, got a 5.0 Mustang, and couldn't resist temptation recently when I bought another '88 T/C with 220,000 on it. :) Quote Selected
